When you’re planning a construction project, drainage should always be a key consideration. A well-designed system helps water to flow away from surfaces; keeping the ground stable and structures secure for years to come.
In many areas of the construction industry, ‘circular economy’ and ‘sustainability’ are often grouped together. They are commonly used in reference to environmental challenges and the need for individuals and businesses to take into account the impact of their actions on the planet.
When buildings, extensions or structures are destroyed, a huge amount of waste is left behind. Concrete, hardcore, wood, metal and plasterboard are just some of the materials that homeowners and project managers alike have to dispose of.
In the UK, the construction sector is responsible for around 62% of all waste, yet so much still ends up in landfill. At SRC Group, we don’t see waste; we see opportunity. Our circular economy model is built on the following key principles: reduce, reuse, recycle, regenerate.
You’ve likely heard the phrase ‘horses for courses’, which means that there’s always a solution for a particular situation. That’s certainly the case when it comes to finding the best and most suitable concrete for use in an equine environment.
Cost is a key consideration within any construction project; how do you balance rising prices without cutting corners throughout the process? For many of our clients, that’s where using recycled aggregates comes in; they’re not just a smart way to reduce your environmental impact, they can also help to stretch your budget further.
As a sector, we are all facing environmental challenges and rapid natural resource depletion. As a result, the construction industry is seeing significant changes, with many more to come.
At SRC Group, we’ve always believed that sustainability isn’t just a goal, it’s a responsibility that we all share. In the construction industry, the traditional ‘take, make, dispose’ approach is no longer sustainable long-term, for us as an industry or the climate.
