As the world becomes increasingly aware of the environmental impacts of construction, the industry is shifting towards more sustainable practices. For professionals in the field, from construction companies to architects, the challenge is to balance the demands of building with the need to preserve our planet for future generations.

Concrete is the most widely used man-made material on earth. It is essential for modern infrastructure, but its production is energy-intensive and contributes significantly to CO2 emissions. Recognizing this, SPN BETOON OÜ is committed to reducing the environmental footprint of concrete works.

Strategies for Sustainable Concrete Construction

One approach to sustainable concrete is the use of SCMs such as fly ash, slag, and silica fume. These materials can partially replace cement in concrete mixes, reducing CO2 emissions and enhancing durability.

Innovative mix designs can reduce the amount of cement needed while maintaining the strength and integrity of concrete. SPN BETOON OÜ leverages cutting-edge technology to create mixes that are both environmentally friendly and structurally sound.

Concrete recycling is a powerful tool for sustainability. By crushing and reusing concrete for new projects, we can significantly reduce quarrying for new materials and minimize waste in landfills.

Emerging technologies, such as carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbonation curing, are on the forefront of reducing concrete's carbon footprint. SPN BETOON OÜ is exploring these options to lead the industry towards a greener future.

Implementing Green Building Standards

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a widely recognized green building certification. SPN BETOON OÜ is adept at providing concrete solutions that contribute to LEED points, helping projects achieve higher levels of certification.

Beyond LEED, there are other sustainability rating systems such as BREEAM and WELL. SPN BETOON OÜ is knowledgeable in these systems and can guide projects to meet various sustainability goals.
