Achieve Long-Term Success with Sustainable Development

Sustainable development is more than just a buzzword; it is a vital approach that focuses on meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Whether sustainability means "using resources in a way that doesn't deplete them for future generations" or means "able to be maintained at a certain rate or level", the current methods used to maintain our citie's infrastructure are not sustainable.

We are now borrowing resources from future generations for repeated repairs, and every year with more cars, more infrastructure, more underground services and more safety requirements, the costs are increasing dramatically.

Simply by making the very foundations of our cities sustainable (unbreakable for the next 100 years) we can reduce costs, risks and improve efficiency by around 80% within 2-3 short years, saving lives and saving millions year after year for the next 100 years. If not, the costs and risks will continue to increase making this work almost untenable.

With rapid urbanisation, depleting resources, and ageing infrastructure, our cities are under increasing pressure. We are building roads at a rate never witnessed before and delays caused by ongoing maintenace is becoming an integral part of the daily commute.

Our cities are growing rapidly and with thousands of vital roadside items required to keep our roads safe, maintenance departments are under ever increasing pressure. Using current methods, items of roadside infrastructure and the expensive foundations are repeatedly damaged, dug up and replaced - but in today's fast moving world these methods are no longer working

With more and more dangerous underground services, more cars on our roads, depleting resources, ever-increasing reporting and safety requirements, ever increasing waste, ever-increasing risk of workplace injury and now the growing risk of silicosis, this work is rapidly becoming untenable.
