The protection of our environment is an integral part of the Substruck ethos and is essential in delivering projects that have minimal impact on the immediate and surrounding area. Each project undertaken by Substruck will have a site-specific waste management plan developed and outlined in Form 6.4 Risk assessment. This waste management plan is tailored specifically to each project and is developed to eliminate or minimise waste on site. Substruck operates a simple but effective reduce, re-use, recycle policy whilst segregating at source. Unfortunately, at this time, there is no facility in Cork City or County that allows us to recycle concrete, however, we ensure all rubble waste is loaded on to suitable skips and transported to a registered facility in County Waterford for processing.

Substruck have developed a pollution policy that requires us to ensure that new drainage does not possess any cross connections. We are very cognizant of identifying such cross connections during drain surveys and will always act in accordance with our strict pollution policy. The Substruck team will actively promote sustainable drainage systems in their simplest form, even when this can pose significant challenges where space is limited. The on site crew will also ensure that no grout is released to local drains or watercourses by careful monitoring and disposing of excess grout into our ‘grout barrels’ for safe disposal.

Substruck are committed to reducing the impact of nuisance, noise or other potential disturbances on the general public. The nature of our work means that the vast majority of our projects are completed in sensitive residential and urban areas with limited space for plant machinery. Despite this challenge, our efforts to minimise the impact on all members of the public has been regularly commented upon and appreciated by our clients and associates over our 20 years in the industry.
