At Ferex, sustainability is our top priority. We believe it is important to integrate sustainability into everything we do and, in this way, contribute to a cleaner future. We not only strive for sustainable solutions for our road plates, but we also apply this in our new office building and in the maintenance of the road plates. Think of our new washing robot, a sustainable office building, and our sponsorship of the Cobouw Sustainability Award.
Our new office building has been constructed in accordance with the latest sustainability guidelines. In addition, our roof is covered with solar panels and we use a heat pump. The drainage wells have been fitted with sustainable composite covers. Like composite road plates, these composite well covers have a longer lifespan than the traditional steel version.
A washing robot has been installed at our new premises. This washing robot is designed to ensure an optimal cleaning process. We can continuously recycle the water used to clean the road plates. This makes our operations significantly more environmentally friendly than traditional manual high-pressure cleaning. Furthermore, the road plates are cleaned so thoroughly by the washing robot that the risk of cross-pollination is minimised. And that, in turn, is good for the flora and fauna!
Our road plates are used for a wide variety of projects, both at home and abroad. The road plates are used, for example, at events, crane sites or civil engineering. To provide a sustainable solution in this regard, Ferex’s lorry is equipped with an electric truck-mounted crane. We also bring our electric equipment, such as an articulated loader, to the projects.
Most sustainable application
Ferex’s composite road panels are a sustainable solution, and we’re proud of that! Antea Group has carried out independent research into greenhouse gas emissions during the construction of temporary roads. In this study, our composite road panels were compared with traditional (steel) road panels. The study shows that using our composite road panels in the construction of temporary roads can help to limit ground disturbance. Or, in most cases, make it unnecessary altogether. And that, in turn, has a positive effect on reducing nitrogen emissions, amongst other things. Click here to read more about this study and its findings.
Road plates made from sustainably manufactured composite material. Introduced by us in the Netherlands in 2019, they have since become indispensable in many projects across a wide range of application areas: Ferex road plates.
