Sustainability

Our commitment to the environment.

Civil and mining delivery plays a vital role in the transition to more sustainable infrastructure — we are playing our part across Australia.

Greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption.

Our work across civil earthworks, mining infrastructure and subdivision delivery means we produce carbon emissions — particularly where heavy plant and long-haul logistics are involved. We are committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, improving energy efficiency and lowering the energy intensity of our operations.

We report on fuel use, electricity consumption and fleet performance across our Perth and regional operations, with targets reviewed annually as part of our broader safety, quality and environmental management system.

Energy efficiency enhancements

We have implemented energy efficiency measures across workshops, site offices and yard facilities — including LED lighting, motion sensor systems and energy-saving practices to minimise waste.

Equipment performance is regularly reviewed to replace underperforming machinery with more efficient alternatives. Where feasible, we optimise workshop and batch plant equipment to improve operational efficiency and reduce emissions on long-running projects.

Renewable energy integration

Strategic investment in renewable energy is part of our long-term carbon reduction plan. We assess feasible locations across offices and yard facilities for solar installations, reducing reliance on grid electricity and contributing directly to emission reductions where systems are viable.

Green fleet initiatives

We continue to assess low-emission transport and plant options as part of fleet renewal — including hybrid and electric light vehicles where charging infrastructure and project requirements allow.

Ongoing fleet optimisation improves utilisation, reduces idle time and lowers transport-related emissions across Perth metro and FIFO mobilisations to Pilbara and Goldfields projects.

Future energy solutions

Technology is changing rapidly across civil and mining. We continue to explore viable alternative energy options — including emerging plant technologies, alternative fuels and process improvements aligned with our long-term goal of reducing emissions while maintaining project delivery.

Responsible use of resources.

We use a wide range of resources across civil and mining projects — from water and energy to aggregates, steel and fuel — and are committed to managing them responsibly as part of our broader environmental focus.

Guided by circular economy principles, we strive to implement efficient practices across earthworks, drainage, sewer and road projects — including material reuse, controlled stockpiling, sediment management and compliant disposal of waste streams.
