Embracing Sustainability: CQC's Commitment to Green Initiatives
Recycling and Reuse:
As part of our green initiative, we prioritize recycling and reusing materials in our laboratory testing processes. For instance, we responsibly recycle our broken concrete cylinders and even donate them for landscaping applications. By finding alternative uses for these materials, we not only reduce waste but also contribute to sustainable landscaping practices.
Innovative Design Concepts:
CQC goes beyond traditional practices by incorporating innovative design concepts that promote recycling and the reuse of existing pavement materials. Our collaboration with design consultants has resulted in the implementation and specification of environmentally friendly practices. One such example is the use of subgrade improvement geogrids, which not only enhances infrastructure performance but also minimizes the need for new materials, ultimately benefiting both the environment and project budgets.
Continuing Education and Industry Involvement:
To stay at the forefront of sustainable engineering practices, CQC actively participates in continuing education programs. We are proud members of esteemed technical associations, including ACI, ASCE, Texas Hot Mix Association, ACEC, SEAOT, and SAME. By attending technical seminars and conferences organized by these associations, we stay updated on the latest advancements and best practices in sustainability. This knowledge directly translates into delivering environmentally conscious solutions for projects such as the City of El Paso's Street Improvement and EPWU Stormwater Infrastructure Improvement Projects.
CQC's commitment to green initiatives extends throughout our operations, from recycling laboratory materials to incorporating sustainable design concepts. By prioritizing sustainability, we not only contribute to a cleaner environment but also deliver added value to our clients and the communities we serve. We will continue to embrace innovative practices and participate in professional development to ensure our projects align with the principles of environmental stewardship. Together, let's build a greener future.
