Why does the Ground Level Alliance exist? Many in civil construction find it difficult to connect their work to addressing global environmental and sustainability issues. The Ground Level Alliance aims to bridge this gap by providing direction and guidance. The Ground Level Alliance mantra is all about taking action so, let’s start making a difference! Ground Level Alliance would appreciate your help gathering case studies. These case studies will play a vital role in illustrating a path forward for our profession. They’re looking for examples that highlights the implementation of good sustainability practice in civil construction projects from around the globe. Typically, these will:
- Look through a different lens with new understanding
- Showcase doing things differently
- Try new approaches
- Challenge the status quo
Note: a project e.g. focused on cost and risk reduction could be re-crafted to demonstrate good sustainability practice. Action: If you have come across or have the makings of a good case study, please let Ground Level Alliance know. It may be a brief description that we can make into an easily digestible powerful case study. If in doubt, send it through!
