Rainwater Harvesting
We have been using our large roof surface to collect all rainwater landing on it
In total we harvest over 336000 litres per year
The system only cost £400 to set up
It is being rolled out to our other sites.

Lighting
Not only is there a cost to the bulbs but there is a cost implication in the changing of the bulbs
We now seek to utilise low level lighting
Use reflective surfaces to reflect heat and light

Racking system for offcuts
Its very important that we are able to utilise all of a plate
Off cuts are stored and used whenever a job will fit
This reduces the need to procure new plate
We are currently working on a project to create racking to allow us to better organise and use offcuts

Video Conferencing
Supporter of video conferencing using software such as Oovoo
Enabled better communication
More engagement with remote staff
Saves on travel costs and pollution

Dropbox/Paper
Started using online file storage software
Saving estimated 1600 pieces of paper
Improving communications
£3000 per year saved on paper, printing and cost of confidential disposal
Recycle 26.4 cu. m. p.a. of paper

Conveyor Scraper• Removes dust and slag from base of the bed while machine is in operation
• Runs on motorised gear and chain system
• Improves efficiency of operative and of machine we can now have 1 man per 2 machines
• Can be easily installed to existing machines
• Reduces need for dressing when cut

Grinding
Steel grindings reclaimed via magnets and recycled instead of being sent to
landfill
The water is recycled along with the metal working fluid
Grinding stone grit used within the construction industry
