The sustainability concept
of infraTest

The ecological footprint of the construction industry is huge, as it requires a particularly large number of raw materials. Some of them are almost exhausted today.

Sustainability in construction is therefore the order of the day.

40 percent

of global CO2 emissions are attributable to the construction sector.
So-called gray emissions are a major problem. This is the name given to the greenhouse gases that are produced, for example, during the manufacture and transport of building materials such as concrete, steel and cement. The production of concrete causes over 2.8 billion tons of CO2, a figure that will continue to rise as 4 billion tons of concrete are poured each year.

 

Deconstruction and disposal of the materials are also included. According to the German Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Development, gray emissions account for an average of a quarter of the total emissions of a conventionally constructed building.
Construction is a business, and a company must show a profit first and foremost. Green buildings can come with lower operating costs. Research has proven that using the latest sustainable technologies in building processes can potentially save around 410 billion euros per year in energy spending.

53 percent

of the annual volume of waste in Germany, the sector is also the country’s largest producer of waste, according to the Federal Statistical Office.

So there are many other factors to consider in sustainable construction:
Z
Lowest possible energy demand of the building
Z
Reduced use of operating materials
Z
Use of recyclable building materials
Z
Low transportation costs
Z
Returning building materials to the natural cycle
Z
Concepts for the subsequent use of buildings
Z
Protection of the natural environment
Z
Land-saving construction

Another approach to achieving the sustainability goals is to drive forward digitization in the construction industry. Increased documentation requirements mean that construction companies have to disclose considerably more data and information.

With our digital solutions, we are creating leaner and more efficient processes. Through the use of AI, data models and sensor technology, processes in the field of infrastructure construction and testing technology can be optimized and redesigned in a much more resource-efficient way. We can also increase the longevity of road surfaces, for example, through the use and data analysis of sensor data.
