Site Manager Josh Peach, becomes Site Sustainability Champion

Site Manager, Josh Peach has become the Glengall Road scheme's Sustainability Champion after passing a BREEAM examination.

Due to our expectations of achieving an excellent status under BREEAM it was a requirement for the team to include a Site Sustainability Champion. After completing the BREEAM AP Site Sustainability Manager course, Site Manager Josh Peach has now achieved the title of Sustainability Champion.

BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is the world's longest established method of assessing, rating and certifying the sustainability of buildings. BREEAM is an assessment undertaken to monitor, evaluate and rate a range of environmental issues that face constructors including energy and water use, health and wellbeing, pollution, transport, materials, waste, ecology and management process. Buildings are rated and certified on a scale of 'pass', 'good, 'very good', 'excellent' and 'outstanding'.

As part of his new role, Josh is now responsible for monitoring various elements of the construction process including material specifications, deliveries to and from the site, maximising sustainable solutions such as reuse schemes, recycling and also working closely with the site's BREEAM Assessor to ensure Equans achieves excellent status.

In response to Josh's new role, the team will be implementing innovative solutions to minimise site waste whilst also working closely with the local community to reuse items which can no longer be used on site.
