Sustainability: a work in progress

 

Sustainability requires maintaining a balance that can exist indefinitely; a balance of environmental, social, and financial needs. Progress implies not only advancement, but betterment.

 

Striking this tenuous balance is a long-term objective for Ingenuity Consulting Engineers; truly a work in progress. We recognize that environmental, social, and economic vitality are linked. For this reason, we endeavour to incorporate the principles of sustainability - technical, environmental, social, and economic - into our projects. Energy and resource conservation, pollution prevention, social acceptability and sound financial management are all important elements in our search for innovative solutions to our clients' needs.

 

We use life cycle costing to consider capital, operation, and maintenance costs during evaluation of design options, and promote alternative design solutions to our clients. Using these tools, we strive to create projects that enhance society holistically, with sustainability, and hence progress, as our ultimate goal.
