DEMONSTRATING SUSTAINABILITY

At Conquip we focus on innovative solutions that drive more sustainable construction methods. Explore how efficiency, innovation and customer-driven approaches can make a positive impact on a variety of projects from the built environment to utilities and housebuilding.

Excavation

Our BulkX method streamlines muck away processes, reducing CO2 emissions.

Our Temporary Propping optimises propping schemes, reduces deliveries, and promotes equipment reuse.

Waste & Materials

Our Autolock Tipping Skip promotes compliant waste segregation, ensuring efficient recycling and reduced landfill and incineration waste.

Our Excavator Drag Skip cuts down on wastage of materials and increases efficiency of trench excavation and backfilling. On average, it can save up to 10% in loose material, equivalent to 80 tonnes or 5 truckloads when using 800 tonnes of shingle.

Water-Saving Measures

For cleaning boots and roads: did you know that you can use grey water as the source to wash out boots and site roads with our Boot Wash and Powerbrush Forklift Sweeper and protect the watercourse from contaminated water?

Having these items on-site will help go some way to addressing the water shortages that the Environment Agency outlined in its National Framework for Water Resources earlier this year.

Concrete Waste Water

For reusing concrete wastewater: capture, manage and neutralise concrete wastewater from concrete trucks, skips, pumps and small equipment, and ensure compliance with the Environment Agency's RPS 287 requirement. Choose our Concrete Washout System or Compact Concrete Washout Unit, depending on the equipment you need to washout.

Once the wastewater is back in the storage tank and treated with a pH neutraliser, it can be reused as grey water for:
1. New concrete batches.
2. Washing equipment.
3. Wet curing.
4. Stockpile damping.
5. Jet washing.

Site Management

Our Fuel Eco-Hub provides a stand alone, solar-powered solution for refuelling and optimising fuel use for vehicles and machinery.

Our Smart Fuel Tank is a solar-powered, transportable fuel tank for refuelling plant and vehicles, and tracking where fuel usage can be reduced.

Our range of COSHH storage equipment ensures safe storage and reduces hazardous material spills, aligning with environmental best practices.

After-Care

According to a 2025 Conquip survey:

58.3% of respondents rarely consider sustainability in daily decisions.
70% of respondents see cost as the biggest challenge.

One solution could be to be more proactive with maintenance and after-care, to both reduce cost and make sustainability more front of mind. Our Conquip Covered after-sales services help contractors to extend equipment life, maximise budget, reduce waste and promote sustainable equipment management.
