"The real magic of mass timber lies in its ability to reduce embodied carbon of infrastructure materials and sequester carbon throughout a building's lifecycle." Patrick Crabbe is a mass timber expert at Bird Construction, and he explores how we can remodel the industry in our blog "Revolutionizing construction and supporting global net-zero targets.".

Upcoming Webinar: From Demolition to Deconstruction Home demolitions in Calgary generate more than 32 million tonnes of demolition waste annually, accounting for 25% of waste in landfills at a significant cost to taxpayers and the environment. Join the upcoming webinar series to learn about the benefits of deconstruction from leaders in the sector and how homeowners and developers can advance deconstruction in Calgary.

Our mission is to reduce new construction and reuse what we already have by changing the way we deal with existing buildings.

Roads have always been the backbone of our communities – connecting people and goods and enabling forward progress! But it’s time to revolutionize the way we approach road construction. ❇️ Sustainable road construction is possible. Cypher’s road solution products leave zero impact on the environment, unlike other harmful chemicals used for road stabilization and dust control. ❇️ Sustainable road construction can deliver results. In fact, Cypher’s products can yield comparable if not superior results to the products you’ve been using. ❇️ Sustainable road construction can be cost effective. If we look at the ROI beyond the first year, cost savings is possible through reduced maintenance, water usage, down time and re-application. Are you ready to revolutionize the way you approach road construction?

🌟 Excited to share a remarkable case study showcasing innovative infrastructure solutions! 🚧 In a challenging road widening project along the scenic A72 road in Peebles, Scotland, our team tackled multiple engineering hurdles head-on. The narrow road, coupled with a weakened verge and ongoing traffic congestion, demanded a robust solution. 🛠 Engineering Challenge: The project required widening the road by approximately 3 meters, replacing existing walls, and ensuring safety standards compliance. However, steep slopes and limited space posed significant challenges. 💡 Maccaferri Solution: Working in close collaboration with MHB Consultants, we engineered a cutting-edge hybrid reinforced soil structure. The solution, standing at 6 meters tall and stretching 150 meters along the River Tweed, incorporated Maccaferri’s Terramesh System. This innovative approach not only retained the highway but also minimized environmental impact. 🤝 Collaborative Effort: Our partnership with Albion Drilling and the Scottish Borders Council's environmental clerk of works ensured a comprehensive approach. From design to construction, every step was meticulously monitored to mitigate environmental concerns. 🏗 Result: The £2.2 million project was successfully completed in 10 months, culminating in a widened highway that facilitates smooth traffic flow. Today, road users enjoy a safer and more efficient commute, thanks to the implementation of the Terramesh System. At Maccaferri, we're committed to delivering sustainable infrastructure solutions that address complex challenges while preserving the environment. This project stands as a testament to our dedication to innovation and collaboration. 💪 #Infrastructure #EngineeringExcellence #TerrameshSystem #CaseStudy #Sustainability #construction
