Sustainable infrastructure is not just about new infrastructure, it is about rehabilitation, reuse or the optimisation of existing infrastructure, which is consistent with the principles of sustainability and sustainable product development, whether it be from civil infrastructure to mining sectors. This encompasses infrastructure renewal, long-term economic analysis of infrastructure, energy use and reduced infrastructure costs, the protection of existing infrastructure from environmental degradation, material selection for sustainability, quality, durability and energy conservation, minimising waste and materials, the redesign of infrastructure in light of climate change and the remediation of environmentally damaged areas of our world. Clearly, sustainable infrastructure will lead to improvements to mankind through better socio-economics. Responsible design needs to balance social, economic and environmental issues.

 

SIS aim to set a responsible standard of sustainable product design and manufacture for our diverse client base in both the short and the long term. We all have a significant impact on the world around us and each of us should play a part in protecting future generations. Designers, engineers and planners have a big responsibility to set standards of product design that benefit the environment and the people who live in it.

 

SIS’s aspiration is that ultimately, talking about sustainability will become superfluous, because it will be the expected.
