 Mulalley
and Company are committed to reducing/minimising the environmental
impact of our works.
Our construction activities are carefully planned to avoid
unnecessary nuisance, disruption of natural and wildlife habitats,
destruction of trees and other landscape features.
Our approach to Resource Management
In
recognition of the fact that the earth's resources are finite,
every step will be considered to minimise waste through recycling
or other techniques. At present our waste carriers are
recycling over 90% of the construction waste from our current
contracts!
Construction Materials
We only purchase timber
from 'managed' or sustainable producers who comply with Forests
Forever; FSC or similar purchasing policies. Where possible
"environmentally friendly" materials shall be proposed for
incorporation into the works.
Vehicles
Company owned and operated vehicles have generally been diesel
powered, as this has been considered to be more energy efficient
than equivalent petrol driven vehicles, resulting in less fuel
consumed by our fleet generally.
Office Materials
All staff are encouraged to
take sensible measures to use products such as stationary produced
from recycled materials. Waste paper is kept to a minimum, and
where possible recycling systems are in use.
Fuel Economy
Staff are encouraged to switch
off lights, heaters, office equipment and machinery when not in
use. Rooms are kept at a comfortable level and are not allowed to
overheat or conversely air conditioning is not used to refrigerate
rooms.
As Building Contractors we create and therefore must
deal with a number of problems. The main areas of concern are:
Noise Pollution, Visual Pollution, Air Pollution, Water Pollution,
Waste Materials and Effluent, Contaminated Land and Wasteful
Practices.
