On the way to zero carbon

Being closer means using less carbon

The raw materials used to produce precast concrete products typically come from quarries located near the precaster’s manufacturing facility.

With calls for travel distances from supplier to site to be reduced, precast is a viable and sensible option to reduce the carbon footprint of a project.
