Sustainability matters to Century West Engineering
Sustainability has been adopted as a company-wide policy at Century West. We strive to balance economic, societal, and environmental factors in everything we do. Sustainability is defined in the manner we take with all of our projects. Each project is evaluated and designed using a systems-based project approach. We consider the elements of economics, ecology, and community as one system known as sustainability. All three elements are interdependent and their connections are evaluated for every project. A life cycle cost analysis, used to help determine not only the monetary project cost, but all factors of sustainability, is also considered for each project in order to determine appropriate project solutions.
By taking a sustainable approach to
our projects we can meet today’s needs without
sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their
needs. Our challenge is to apply sustainable principles to road
projects, water projects, and other infrastructure. The
application of these concepts on a project, whether building a
sewer line or a parking lot, is our unique contribution to
creating a sustainable environment. Century West’s
project approach results in a clear policy, vision and public
commitment; protection and restoration of ecosystems;
conservation, recycling, and reduction of natural resource and
energy use; reduction of pollution and use of toxic substances;
and at the same time, provides a stable, diverse, and fair
economy; and safe and environmentally healthy communities. Each
project presents its own challenges and has its own
opportunities, goals, and objectives. By meeting these
challenges, we are making our world more sustainable.
