Sustainability

Project specifiers have a responsibility to select the most appropriate materials and protective systems that provide optimum durability to our infrastructure. Particularly now, as the carbon footprint of maintenance interventions needs to be considered, the advantages of durable protective systems—and the consequent reduced number of interventions—can significantly lessen the overall environmental impact.

As asset owners are looking to adopt a whole-of-life approach to carbon reduction in building and infrastructure design, applying principles that support lifecycle management and cost-effective, low- and ultimately net-zero carbon solutions will assist in achieving emission targets. RemedyAP can provide strategies that benefit sustainability aims, notably structural assessments, concrete inspection, and coating inspection, along with lifecycle analysis for reduced-emission options in the protection and remediation of structures.
