Environment
Curtins operate in an efficient and environmentally sensitive manner, both in the work we do and how we do it, to maximise the positive impact of our services and enhancing the natural and the built environment.
We are committed to the continual development and improvement of our ISO14001 accredited policy and systems through internal and external action plans, and real-time management data. Internally, we achieve this by setting targets that all our staff can be involved in, such as reducing our energy, fuel and waste levels, lowering our travel mileage, whilst increasing our recycling volume.
Equally, when it comes to providing engineering services for our clients we’re as keen to promote low carbon solutions. One way this can be achieved is the refurbishment and re-use of buildings as an alternative demolition and building new. We’re experts in assessing existing buildings and seeing solutions that breathe new life and value into them, such as Liverpool’s grade I listed Albert Dock complex (pictured).
We’re as environmentally aware when it comes to providing engineering services to our clients. We’ll recommend solutions that consider the natural potential from the structure – ventilation and daylight; and will encourage that energy and resources are minimised through options such as green roofs and walls and sustainable drainage.
We have established a sustainability focus group, whose role is to monitor and further enhance our environmental policies and innovations, both internally and externally.
