Climate change and achieving net zero is a critical issue for Government, businesses, and the community at large. We remain committed to identifying and implementing measures to contribute positively and minimise our impact on the planet.

We are working to continuously improve both our operations and those of our customers to reduce emissions, decrease carbon footprint, and reduce the environmental impact of our project activities.

Our Plant Renewal Programme has successfully upgraded all of our 3 and 5 tonne excavators to more efficient models. The focus of the Plant Renewal Programme is now on the replacement of the site’s Dumper fleet.

Following successful trials at their construction sites, Tamdown are now commencing the rollout of new solar-powered fuel tanks and solar-powered hybrid generators. As the cost of diesel continues to rise, there is the need to seek alternative, more economical fuel sources. Tamdown’s new solar-powered generators have the potential to reduce fuel consumption by as much as 90%, thereby minimising our carbon emissions. Solar energy is not only one of the cleanest and most cost-effective sources of power, but when paired with battery storage, it can lead to substantial savings in both CO2 emissions and fuel costs.  Additionally, these systems operate silently overnight by using an onboard battery storage system, contributing to the wellbeing of both wildlife and local residents.

We collaborate with our customers to ensure the delivery of sustainable communities through effective solutions, viewing sustainability as an ongoing journey for our business, our customers, and our suppliers.

In preparation for the new Simpler Recycling regulations taking effect on 31 March 2025, the Facilities Team at Nexus Park is continuing its initiative to encourage staff to separate their waste. Beginning on 2 January, food waste collection will be expanded to the Nexus cafeteria and will include biodegradable materials such as vegetable peelings, bones, eggshells, coffee grounds, and tea bags.

The rise in electric and hybrid vehicles has resulted in an increase in the electric vehicle charging stations at Nexus Park. Currently, there are eight chargers available: six 7kW chargers and two 50kW chargers. Meter readings indicate an 82.87% increase in usage in 2024 compared to 2023.

Tamdown continue to sponsor the planting of a tree for every foundation that the business completes. The total number of trees planted through this sponsorship since starting the campaign had reached 3,556 by the end of FY24.
