Environmental Responsibility
At Tritech, we build with sustainability in mind because we believe that the best quality services are delivered with consideration of the environment. This focus is reflected in our Environmental Management Manual (EMM), affirming our pledge to environmental stewardship and sustainable practices in every aspect of our business.
Our commitment to sustainability is evident in our everyday operations. We enforce strict measures to prevent soil erosion, employ advanced water management practices, and handle materials and waste responsibly. Our adherence to stringent environmental protocols ensures that we reduce our ecological impact while making significant contributions to the communities and environments we engage with.
Design Construction
From optimizing the configuration of reservoirs and bioreactors, to minimizing the amount of concrete used, and selecting pumps that maximize energy efficiency, we can provide clients with a product that is not only sustainable but also cost effective.
Head Office
One of Tritech’s biggest moves to become more sustainable was to build a new energy efficient head office building with sustainable features, including:
- A geoexchange heating and cooling system that uses the renewable energy from the earth to heat and cool the building.
- A rainwater collection system and a pump station with drip irrigation piping to irrigate landscaping during the summer months saving an estimated 8500 m3/yr of potable water.
- Installing state of the art low-flow plumping fixtures throughout the building. All our toilets are low-flush and our taps have sensors to reduce water use.
- Using LEED certified hand driers and eliminating paper-towels from the washrooms. This initiative prevents 150 pounds of paper towel waste from ending up in landfills.
- Installing double glazed windows that lower energy consumption by keeping the temperature in the building constant.
Suppliers and Subcontractors
When choosing supplier and subcontract partners, we ensure that health, safety, and environmental practices meet our standards.
Our procurement process includes criteria ensuring suppliers adhere to environmental and safety regulations, have common environmental objectives and commitments to sustainability.
Tritech also expects subcontract partners to agree to and abide by the Project Environmental Plan and be actively involved in providing updates at project meetings.
