The circular economy is gaining in importance in the construction and civil engineering sectors
INDUNI has developed a three-stage approach to the reuse of reinforced concrete. This approach takes into account the future use of concrete elements right from the demolition stage. The company is also supporting the 10th anniversary of the Matériuum association, which is committed to the transition to a circular economy.
According to a press release, INDUNI & CIE AG has developed solutions to promote the reuse of reinforced concrete from existing buildings. The three-stage approach covers the demolition, transport and storage of materials before reconstruction begins.
In the first stage, concrete elements are crushed during the demolition of buildings in such a way that they are already suitable for later reuse. The parts are then transported to various storage sites in the Lake Geneva region using the company’s own logistics. Finally, the concrete elements are integrated into new projects by the company’s structural and civil engineering teams.
INDUNI is also supporting Matériuum’s 10th anniversary. The Geneva-based association for the protection of natural resources helps to “promote the reuse of building materials” and “support the transition to a circular economy”, writes INDUNI in a further statement. The company thus makes it clear that it intends to “continue its commitment to more responsible and circular construction”.
Founded in 1917 and based in Lancy, INDUNI & CIE AG is active in building construction and civil engineering in French-speaking Switzerland.
