SUSTAINABILITY CHARTER 

Commitment to a Sustainable Future

At Skeletal Consulting Engineers, we are dedicated to fostering a sustainable future through innovative and efficient civil and structural engineering design solutions. Our Sustainability Charter and membership of Structural engineers declare outlines our commitment to environmental responsibility and economic viability, ensuring that every project we undertake contributes to a healthier planet and a more resilient built environment.

Environmental Responsibility 

We employ several strategies to reduce embodied carbon in our designs:

  1. Material Selection: We prioritise the efficient use of resources, minimising waste and promoting the use of renewable and low-carbon materials wherever possible. 
  2. Efficient Structural Systems: We design efficient structural systems tailored to the building type and usage, which minimises material use without compromising structural integrity.
  3. Optimisation: We use intelligent design and cutting edge software to optimise the use of structural materials, helping to reduce waste.
  4. Lifecycle Assessments: Through the use of now standard embodied carbon calculation tools we can measure the embodied carbon in our designs, ensuring that the environmental impact is considered throughout every stage of a project and through the life span of the structure.

Economic Viability

  • Sustainable Practices: We advocate for sustainable construction practices that deliver long-term value and cost savings for our clients.
  • Innovation: We embrace cutting-edge technologies and innovative approaches to enhance the sustainability and resilience of our engineering solutions.

Our Goals

  • Reduce Environmental Impact: Strive to lower the environmental impact of our projects through continuous improvement in design, construction, and operational practices.
  • Promote Sustainability: Foster a culture of sustainability within our business and the wider industry, sharing knowledge and best practices to drive positive change.
