Sustainability

CFA piling is a low-waste, energy-efficient technique that reduces the need for excessive material removal and minimises carbon emissions during construction. At Aarsleff, we recognise the importance of reducing the environmental impact of construction activities, and our CFA piling methods reflect this. For instance, we ensure that CFA piles are constructed with minimal disruption to surrounding environments, making it a preferred choice for urban developments and areas with strict noise restrictions.

Our team works to minimise waste, recycle materials wherever possible, and implement strategies that reduce the environmental footprint of our operations. We create annual sustainability reports to highlight our efforts. To view our latest report, visit our sustainability page. Our commitment to sustainability not only benefits the environment but also helps our clients achieve their own sustainability targets.
