Updates to London's Low Emission Zone for Non-Road Mobile Machinery 🏗 NRMM activity significantly contributes to air pollution in London, particularly in construction. London's Low Emission Zone standards will get tighter to reduce air pollution and omit the associated impacts, such as on public health 🏥 Current plans are that by January 2040, only zero-emission machinery will be allowed to operate within London’s NRMM LEZ.

How many companies are calculating roof renovation CO2 footprints? Well, at least VILPE and Ramboll are! 💥 "Roof leak repairs result in significant emissions. The scale of the results can be understood by comparing them to car emissions. A 100 m² repair produces 5,332.4 kg CO2e, equivalent to driving approximately 21,300 kilometers in a car, roughly halfway around the Earth." 🚗🌫️ BY FAR the easiest way to increase sustainability within the construction industry is to build for the long haul and to take better care of our built environment! Costs, health and safety, continuity of operations AND THE ENVIRONMENT can go hand in hand! 🌿🧑🧑🧒🧒🦺💸 "Ramboll Finland Oy performed the calculations on behalf of VILPE Oy. The repair involves demolishing the old structure, installing the new structure, and the materials used. The roof structures used included bitumen roofing, grooved thermal insulation, vapor barrier, and TT slab. The assessment was conducted using the OneClickLCA software, and the emission data for the materials were based on the conservative values from the Finnish emission database CO2data.fi. It is assumed that the repair does not change the replacement interval of building products during the building’s lifecycle. The repair measures also do not affect the building’s operational energy consumption." 🤓🖥️‼️ #VilpeSense #smartroof #predictivemaintenance #greentransition #smartcity #roofing #buildingmanagementsystem #waterproofing

Did you catch yesterday's article on optimized waterproofing for bridges? Here’s why it’s critical. We’re going deeper into why Type 5 (Eliminator Membrane) is the future of infrastructure: 🕒 Time-Saving Efficiency With Type 5, we’re seeing significantly shorter application times compared to older Type 4 (Epoxy + Bitumen) systems. Faster applications mean less downtime and reduced traffic disruption. 🌍 Eco-Friendly Choice Type 5 has a 6x lower CO₂ footprint over its 120-year lifespan compared to traditional Type 4. This is a game-changer for sustainable infrastructure. ⚙️ Enhanced Safety for Workers Type 5 avoids the toxic fumes and open-flame welding associated with Type 4, creating a safer environment for our teams and the communities we serve.

📉 New project announcement: ACLA® used to remove 7980 kg of CO2e from a new road! 🔷 We partnered with Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council to decarbonize their road improvement works. 🌀 ACLA® was used in an asphalt mix supplied by Tarmac. 🌐 This saves the carbon emissions equivalent to the average UK car driving 44,333km. ✅ Typically, asphalt releases + 30-70 kg CO2eq/tonne, whereas every tonne of ACLA® permanently removes ~ 800 kg CO2eq/ tonne from the atmosphere. 🌎 We look forward to future partnerships with other trailblazers committed to achieving net zero construction. 💬 Reach out to learn how ACLA® could reduce the carbon footprint of your next construction project! ⏩ For more information, read the case study here: https://lnkd.in/epKQKw-V #SustainableConstruction #LowCarbonMaterials #NetZero #LowCarbonConstruction  #LocalRoads

Driving Sustainable Infrastructure Growth with Bitumen: Paving the Way for a Greener Future In the pursuit of sustainable development, infrastructure plays a vital role as the backbone of progress. As the world shifts towards eco-friendly solutions, bitumen stands out as a key material in creating sustainable infrastructure. Bitumen, known for its durability and versatility, is central to constructing resilient roads, bridges, and other critical infrastructure. But beyond its traditional uses, advancements in technology have unlocked its potential in supporting green initiatives: Recycling and Circular Economy: Modern road construction now incorporates reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), significantly reducing waste and raw material consumption. Energy Efficiency: Warm mix asphalt, utilizing bitumen, lowers energy consumption during production and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Longevity and Resilience: High-quality bitumen ensures longer-lasting roads, reducing the need for frequent repairs and minimizing environmental disruption. At the intersection of innovation and sustainability, bitumen is evolving to meet the challenges of a changing world. By investing in sustainable practices, we can ensure infrastructure growth that supports both economic progress and environmental stewardship. Let’s build a future where every road leads to sustainability! 🌍 #SustainableInfrastructure #BitumenInnovation #GreenFuture #ConstructionMaterials #CircularEconomy

𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝘀𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗹𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (𝗥𝗔𝗣)♻ Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is a powerful tool for reducing the environmental impact of road construction. By reusing existing materials, RAP not only minimizes waste but also conserves resources, reduces energy use, and cuts down on greenhouse gas emissions. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸? 1️⃣ Existing asphalt pavement is milled and removed. 2️⃣ The material is then crushed and screened to remove any debris. 3️⃣ This reclaimed asphalt is mixed with new asphalt, creating a fresh pavement mix that meets industry standards. 4️⃣ The mix is transported to the construction site, where it's put to work building roads, parking lots, and more. 5️⃣ Once the asphalt reaches the end of its life, the process starts again—making RAP a truly circular solution. Using RAP can save over 60 million cubic yards of landfill space each year, according to the National Asphalt Pavement Association. Plus, the Federal Highway Administration estimates that RAP reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by up to 20%.

🚧 Why Ground Protection is a Better Alternative to Stone Roads 🌍 When it comes to construction projects, stone roads are often the go-to solution for keeping vehicles and equipment moving. But what if there was a more eco-friendly option that could also reduce the number of trucks on the road? Using ground protection mats is a smart alternative. Unlike stone roads, they don’t require heavy trucks to transport tonnes of material, which means fewer vehicles on our roads and less CO2 in the atmosphere. 🌱 Plus, they’re reusable, making them a sustainable choice that cuts down on waste. Instead of having to move or dispose of stone after a project, ground protection mats can be used again and again. If you're looking for a way to lower your carbon footprint and keep your project efficient, ground protection could be the way forward. Discover how switching to ground protection can make a difference.
