Rainwater Harvesting

We have been using our large roof surface to collect all rainwater landing on it

In total we harvest over 336000 litres per year

The system only cost £400 to set up

It is being rolled out to our other sites.

Rainwater Harvesting – Diagram

Lighting

Not only is there a cost to the bulbs but there is a cost implication in the changing of the bulbs

We now seek to utilise low level lighting

Use reflective surfaces to reflect heat and light

Racking system for offcuts

Its very important that we are able to utilise all of a plate

Off cuts are stored and used whenever a job will fit

This reduces the need to procure new plate

We are currently working on a project to create racking to allow us to better organise and use offcuts
