Building a Sustainable Future: Sustainability in Construction

In today’s world, environmental consciousness is a critical variable in project planning. As owners and EPCs look to improve their sustainability ratings, it’s important to be mindful of how indirect services can be a component to any sustainability strategy. At AMECO, we understand the construction industry’s impact on the environment and are dedicated to promoting sustainable practices across all our operations.

A Multi-Faceted Approach to Sustainability

Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond simply using recycled materials. We take a holistic approach that encompasses several key areas:

Extending Tool Life: We prioritize maintenance and regular inspection of non-expendable tools. This keeps tools — such as battery operated tools — well maintained and out of landfills.
Waste Reduction and Recycling: Construction sites can generate a significant amount of waste. AMECO actively works to minimize waste through careful planning and efficient processes. And we offer workforce hydration programs that can reduce or eliminate single use plastic bottles used onsite. And our wastewater management program can treat and recycle used water and redirect it for industrial use. And finally, the Integrates Scaffold Solution eliminates the need for No. 9 tie wire and lumber for scaffolding structures.
Energy Conservation: We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint by implementing energy-saving practices in our facilities and operations. This includes using energy-efficient equipment, promoting responsible energy consumption by our employees, and exploring renewable energy sources.
Sustainable Jobsite Practices: Sustainable practices extend to the jobsite as well. AMECO works with partners and clients to develop environmentally responsible construction plans. This can include measures like using low-emission equipment, minimizing water usage, and implementing proper hazardous material handling protocols.

Collaboration is Key

We believe that true sustainability can only be achieved through collaboration. We work closely with our clients and partners to develop and implement sustainable solutions for their projects.

The Benefits of Sustainable Construction

By embracing sustainable practices, AMECO is not only helping to protect the environment, but also creating value for our clients, partners, and the communities we serve. Here are some of the key benefits:

Reduced Environmental Impact: Sustainable practices help to conserve natural resources, minimize pollution, and mitigate the construction industry’s impact on climate change.
Cost Savings: By implementing efficient processes and utilizing less energy, sustainable construction can lead to significant cost savings.
Enhanced Reputation: A commitment to sustainability shows stakeholders that your company is responsible and forward-thinking, which can enhance your reputation and attract environmentally conscious clients and partners.
