Environmental impact of concrete structures

Concrete construction plays a major role in the construction of various buildings and infrastructure in Finland. However, it is also an industry with an impact on the environment. One key environmental impact is the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of concrete, which requires the use of cement, one of the largest emitters of carbon dioxide. Anfra strives to reduce its environmental impact by using the latest technology and sustainable materials at different stages of the construction process.

Another important environmental impact of concrete construction is related to the use of natural resources. Concrete requires sand, gravel and water, which are limited resources. Anfra focuses on sustainable resource use and aims to minimise waste and wastage in its construction process.

Sustainable solutions for concrete structures

A key factor in durability is the longevity of concrete structures. Concrete structures built to a high quality standard will last for a long time without the need for major repairs or replacement. This reduces the need for materials and resources and lowers the carbon footprint. Anfra invests in high quality and sustainable solutions for its concrete structures to ensure longevity and durability for its customers.
