Sustainability has become a keyword in everyone's lives and a major topic for businesses and industries. Particularly in the construction business, environmental protection and resources conservation can lead to many process changes and different material choices. At Sikla we are conscious that our success and future depends on how we handle these material resources. This concern and consciousness lead us to focus on sustainability in all the stages of our activity!
Environmental protection, resources conservation, and ecological sustainability
Sikla has always taken pride in making sure when selecting our suppliers for component manufacturing that they have the correct certification in accordance with the international environmental management standard, ISO 14001.
The supply chain from our suppliers to our customers is an important step to grow as a sustainable company. Sikla can reduce our carbon footprint by having a consistent off-the-shelf stock in the UK and decreasing the number of deliveries to site. This is achievable because offsite prefabricated steel modules can be adjusted onsite & there are no journeys to galvanizers as the components are already pre-coated.
Installation costs are kept to a minimum as the frames and supports have a short installation time and the products are simple to assemble. As siFramo is hot-dip galvanized as standard, the components we use have a robust and durable corrosion protection, giving our products a long lifespan. (See here more details about coatings for steel corrosion protection). The siFramo support system has a better ecological footprint than conventional steel beams thanks to its much lower weight.
Finally, Sikla products are designed to be reusable. Our customers have found on Sikla specified projects that the steel waste has been drastically reduced compared to traditional solutions. Even the waste can be recycled in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way. Nothing goes to waste with siFramo!
