About us
How we implement sustainability
At Canvey Island, we developed an alternative low carbon construction solution for the project.
Our revised proposal resulted in the following:
✔ Over 40,000m3 of material diverted from landfill.
✔ Reduction of the carbon intensity of the project by 717 tonnes (tCO2).
✔ Stabilisation of existing ground rather than excavate, dispose and replace.
✔ Elimination of 7,000 vehicle movements to/from site.
✔ Significant reduction in concrete usage.
