Sustainability & The Environment

Mainbrace consistently monitors and reviews operations to ensure our projects are undertaken in a manner that will reduce any impact on the environment.

Land

• Reduce the impact of development and construction.
• Limit harm to flora and fauna by instigating appropriate protective measures.
• Ensure the site and its surrounding precincts are restored to their original or optimum sustainable condition after project completion.

Water

• Limit water use by providing efficient service installations.
• Consider recovery and re-use of waste water and storm/grey water.
• Maintain natural ground water levels and cleanly discharging excess recovered water.
• Control surface run-off and sedimentation/ silt issues.
  

Energy

• Reduce energy use by providing efficient appliances, plant, and natural ventilation.

Waste

• Minimise material use by recovering and recycling during construction.
• Encourage “in service” recycling.
• Design and construct for ease and efficiency of waste recovery
• Maximise recycling of built forms.

Construction Activities

• Establish procedures for the safe containment of hazardous materials and for appropriate action in the event of spillages.
• Conduct ongoing reviews of work practices and equipment to minimise energy use and reduce waste.
• Ensure that subcontractors and suppliers conform to our Environmental Policy.

We educate our employees on sustainable building practices and continually identify, assess & control environmental risk.
