Environmental performances
With regard to environmental protection, in France Freyssinet took part alongside Sogea, GTM Construction, Eurovia and VINCI Energies in the drafting of the specifications for a site waste treatment system in the Île-de-France region, an initiative aimed at ensuring that 60% of waste is recycled at approved sorting centres and that the processing of such waste is traceable. Since April 2005, the five companies have thus been having much of their rubble processed and recovered as road-building materials. For its part, Freyssinet’s Île-de-France/Normandy office has set up an environmental control group (GPE) to complete its ISO 14001 certification process. In the rest of the country, other environmental initiatives have also been launched; the Nantes, Nancy and Lyons offices have thus increased the sums allocated to site waste water and recovered oil treatment.
All of the offices, and particularly Lyons and Marseilles, have made an effort to organise the storage of resins and sensitive products and to carry out a selective sort of waste on site, at warehouses and in the offices.
In Spain this year Freyssinet obtained UNE-ENISO 14001 certification and set up an environment management system in conjunction with Tierra Armada. Continuing on from this action, the two companies have defined and set up environmental indicators. In the United States, DGI-Menard obtained approval from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for the installation of controlled modulus columns on contaminated land, having demonstrated that the technique does not lead to the penetration of pollutants into the waterbearing soil. In South Korea, on completion of the atmospheric consolidation of a 350,000m2 platform at the port of Kwang Yang using the Menard Vacuum method, the Sangjee-Menard subsidiary organised the recovery of the geotextile (35ha) and membrane used during the work and sent them to a recycling centre. For its part, in Pakistan Reinforced Earth has replaced almost its entire corporate fleet with less polluting vehicles that run on CNG (compressed natural gas).
