Sustainable Development
Sustainability presents the most urgent challenge for development of both infrastructure and buildings. Future business success in these sectors will depend on the rigorous application of sustainability.
To plan for the future in this modern context, clients require a comprehensive service, provided by an interdisciplinary team of professionals who can create design solutions that are packaged from concept to project completion.
Working together
Maunsell, together with AECOM's network of operating companies, provides a complete sustainable development service, with specialist consultants who have a broad range of expertise and experience.
Our highly specialised collaborative service includes:
- civil infrastructure,
- commercial buildings,
- health, education and sports facilities, and
- complex urban renewal, mixed use and master plan developments.
Our multi-disciplinary capabilities include engineers, architects, planners, scientists and other specialist professionals with unique skill sets.
We provide superior and cost-effective solutions and prudent advice. Elegant design must also be sustainable. We offer clients a clear and comprehensive understanding of what sustainability means in practice.
Local presence
Our local presence enables us to provide context-specific and globally-connected advice that is essential to achieving sustainable outcomes. We apply new technologies to our integrated project delivery framework to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Thinking globally, acting locally
This phrase fits our AECOM capability. AECOM has a network of 28,000 employees, connected by a business practice network that ensure our professional intelligence is industry leading.
Technique and technology
Our approach is based on understanding the client’s vision, goals and needs. Our specialist knowledge, combined with our international resource capability, ensures that we integrate sustainable solutions into every aspect of design and program management.
For example, our energy, thermal and water modelling allows us to enhance electrical, mechanical and hydraulic service designs. We design building envelopes that can maximise passive cooling and heating. We create structures that can incorporate non-toxic, recycled and low-embodied energy materials.
We understand that sustainability means more than just energy, water and materials. We are considerate of the communities in which we work and strive to promote sustainable local economies. We recommend practical and cost-effective technologies and provide a clear connection between sustainability indicators and measurable project return on investment.
Opportunity
Government incentives for sustainability are strong, industry organisations are offering awards and the community is seeking evidence that projects embody sustainability. Sustainable development is the key to business opportunity. Well designed sustainable developments can deliver value and protect client investments to promote future growth.
Together, we can help realise the benefits of sustainability.
