The construction and fabrication industries are not known for their environmental credentials, although this is an area the Rilmac Group takes very seriously.  Rilmac Insulation are already experts in improving the environment with their experience in providing insulation solutions for industry, heating and ventilation, acoustic disturbance, and cryogenic projects.  Despite working in some challenging and heavily industrial fields, the Rilmac group as a whole, are making inroads in improving their internal practices while working in the most environmentally way possible in its various commercial projects.

To this end two members of senior staff have upgraded to hybrid electric cars in order to bring down their carbon footprint.  As well as using these more environmentally friendly cars for work purposes the group has installed a free to use charging point at their Crofton Drive headquarters.  This allows for both staff, and customers, to charge up on site before heading back out on the roads, saving time, money and the environment.

The charging points were installed as part of the Lincolnshire County Council Sustainable Travel Grant Scheme and the Rilmac Group is committed to working with the Council on ensuring that their travel requirements will become more and more environmentally friendly.  The aim being to replace other staff vehicles with hybrid models when due for replacement, encourage car sharing and support bicycle use.  As industry leaders in the safe and environmentally sound removal of asbestos from many contaminated sites, and 20 years specialist insulation experience, Rilmac’s green credentials should not be all that surprising.
