From the beginning of every project, we make a point of building a relationship with all of our project neighbours, keeping them fully updated with all activity on site. All work is constantly monitored to ensure that delivery of materials, transport movement, parking, access, etc, together with noise and airborne contamination levels are kept to the minimum, and waste is disposed of carefully and considerately.

We welcome involvement from the communities we work in and we always encourage site visits for the local community and any other interested parties, where we will show them how we work and what is happening on site.

Environmental

As the profile of environmental issues are increasingly being raised it is Pinington commitment to ensure that all impacts through there activities are to either be eliminated, re-used, reduced or recycled.

Environmental responsibility within Pinington lies with every employee within the company. Particular emphasis is given to the prevention of pollution, fuel consumption and waste management. To assist in reducing our impact Pinington have a local supply chain of sub-contractors and material suppliers. Pinington constantly review construction techniques to reduce noise and dust into the atmosphere and use of recyclable produces.

Our waste all enters our local waste transfer plant where we have a recycle waste rate of between 85 and 90 percent.

Pinington environmental policy is supported by our EMS Environmental Management System where we attended a "Fasttrack 14" course to enable us to have a compliant system, whilst working towards ISO 14001 accreditation.

Pinington will continue to support to minimise the impact on the environment by our actions.
