Environmental protection and energy saving: Aluminum alloy doors and Windows

Perhaps, in the end, the mistake is viewing the green agenda and fire safety as in conflict at all. The truly sustainable solutions will be the ones which are fire safe. The job of the industry is to find them. Bit from me for The Developer on the conflict between fire safety and sustainability in the built environment: https://lnkd.in/ecv-bSYR

Thanks to Grunde Jomaas for sharing this footage. A #fire in a #verticalfarming facility in Italy. Note the ferocity of the fire - likely driven by extensive use of plastic trays over multiple levels and potential presence of #combustible #sandwichpanels in this c. 7,000-sq.m facility. Unclear if this was protected by a #sprinklersystem - no "tell tale" cylindrical water tanks outside though, albeit google images may not be up to date. PV solar array visible on roof in drone footage but not on maps. Looks like this was the main production plant for Planet Farms with another R&D plant nearby, so potential #businessinterruption loss could be significant. #reinsurance #propertyinsurance #riskmanagement #foodindustry #foodinnovation #sustainablefarming #riskengineering #underwriting

Valuable contributions in this article by Peter Apps on #firesafety #cladding and #sustainability and #clt by Jim Glockling, Ian Abley and Jane Duncan OBE:

I would summarize the article like this: “I always tell industry, in public and private, if you don’t fix this, regulation is coming,” says Rein. “If you don’t talk to each other and fix this, it will be fixed for you.”

Parking fees for secure truck parking can be reimbursed via the Environmental Protection and Safety programme. "The name "De-minimis" does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the objective or content of the funding programme. In order to increase awareness of the programme and thus more use by potential applicants and to emphasise the value of the objectives, the programme will be called "Umweltschutz und Sicherheit" from the 2024 funding period onwards." (www.balm.bund.de) The funding programme under the old name also caused a lot of confusion among our customers and meant that it was often not used. However, the aim of the promotion is a very good one: as part of the "Environmental Protection and Security" programme, parking fees are also eligible for reimbursement in connection with secure parking spaces. Bosch Secure Truck Parking helps you to provide proof of the use of secure parking spaces - you can easily reserve one of several hundred secure parking spaces on our portal in advance - this is then available to you - guaranteed!

The recent Camp Pendleton landfill closure serves as a critical reminder of the importance of environmental stewardship and the impact of human activities on our planet. 🌎 The proactive measures taken by the U.S. Marine Corps in response to the cease and desist order demonstrate a commitment to environmental compliance and the protection of natural resources. This situation underscores the need for continuous improvement in waste management practices and infrastructure to prevent contamination. This is a reminder that we need to prioritize sustainability in all operations, recognizing that the health of our environment is integral to our future. #EnvironmentalStewardship #Sustainability #WasteManagement

Did you know? When hazardous materials are spilled they are unable to be processed naturally by the environment and require specialized remediation so that they do not pose public health and environmental risks. Many older buildings contain hazardous material spills that are unchecked. When these buildings are demolished or renovated, that spill is worsened, causing the further spread of hazardous materials and increasing their adverse effects. Decommissioning is an important and sensitive process that provides protection to all parties involved. At 3D Enviro, we have spent the last two decades perfecting our decommissioning process so we can create the safest outcome possible for ourselves, our communities, and our environment. #decommissioning #environmentalremediation #buildingsafety #constructionwaste #industrialcleaning #hazmatremoval #3denviro #hazardousmaterials #environmentalremediation
