Rainton Construction's Commitment to Reducing Environmental Impact

Rainton Construction was delighted to receive the Highly Commended accolade at the Civil Engineering Contractors Association North East (CECA) Awards 2022, which recognised our commitment to reducing our environmental impact.

One of the most significant factors impacting our carbon footprint is the asphalt materials required for the surfacing works we undertake. The embodied carbon in the aggregate and bitumen comprises a substantial percentage of the total.

Through our business, Tynedale Roadstone, we develop and self-deliver innovative asphalt solutions that combine end-of-use plastic and rubber waste. Our surfacing division, part of Rainton Construction, lays our sustainable material on local road networks.

There is no quick fix and we are developing a comprehensive and wide-ranging carbon reduction strategy to provide a tangible progression towards carbon neutrality.

The built environment plays a crucial role in addressing climate change. By challenging the norm and working together, we can help pave the way for a sustainable future.
