Sustainability

We are committed to making a positive impact on both the environment and communities! Prioritizing sustainability in our operations and product processes are crucial for creating a more eco-friendly future, and our dedication to continuous improvement. By reducing our environmental footprint and promoting sustainability throughout the construction value chain, we are making positive contributing to the transition to a net-zero future.

Moreover, placing people at the center of our efforts underscores a commitment to inclusivity and community well-being. Investing in sustainable, affordable, and smart infrastructure not only benefits the environment but also improves the quality of life for individuals and communities. We are focused on giving back and supporting local communities that demonstrates a holistic approach to corporate responsibility.

Our approach to sourcing materials locally and utilizing SCM’s and waste products like fly ash showcases a strong commitment to sustainability and reducing environmental impact. By sourcing aggregates and cement products from within Alberta, we are not only supporting local economies but also minimizing transportation emissions associated with long-distance hauling.

Reclaiming fly ash from landfills is a smart move toward waste reduction and resource optimization. Repurposing this byproduct from coal power plants not only diverts it from landfill disposal but also contributes to the production of stronger and more sustainable precast concrete products. The use of fly ash to reduce cement requirements not only cuts down on material usage but also enhances the quality and durability of the components, making them more resilient over time.

Implementing technologies like Command Batch to precisely mix materials according to specific needs further minimizes waste and ensures efficient production processes. This attention to detail and optimization aligns well with our overall commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.

Overall, our efforts to integrate sustainable practices throughout our production process demonstrate a proactive approach to reducing environmental impact and promoting resource efficiency.
