Myth: Environmental Product Declarations are marketing materials.

Fact: EPDs are standardized documents based on Life Cycle Assessments and independently verified by a third party. 🌎

Their purpose is to provide transparent environmental information using a consistent methodology. Download the NCSPA EPD here https://bit.ly/4vBSSMb

🌿 What is an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)? 🤔

An EPD is a standardized, independently verified document that reports the environmental impacts of a product throughout its life cycle.

Think of it as a nutrition label for environmental performance. It doesn't tell you whether one product is "better" than another. Instead, it provides transparent, consistent information that helps engineers, owners, and specifiers make informed decisions.

Engineering hot take 👀 The most expensive piece of equipment on a jobsite...
..is the one sitting idle waiting for someone else's work to be finished. 😄

A smarter design can make all the difference. 💪

When an aging stream crossing on a busy Alberta resource road needed replacement, Atlantic Industries Limited partnered with the project team to supply a corrugated steel arch and Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) retaining wall system that delivered a durable, cost-effective solution.

The innovative design reduced the overall structure length while maintaining the roadway width required for heavy industrial traffic, creating a crossing built to serve West Fraser's operations for years to come.

Read the full Project Spotlight to see how collaboration and smart engineering came together over Emerson Creek.

The only thing that spreads faster than project updates...
..is someone saying,

"Did you hear?" 😄

💡 Looking beyond the initial price can change the conversation.

Lifecycle cost considers more than what happens on bid day. It looks at long-term performance, maintenance, and overall value throughout an asset's life.

Better information leads to better decisions. Think Beyond Bid Day.

Myth: The lowest bid always delivers the best value.

Fact: Long-term value includes performance, maintenance, service life, and lifecycle cost. 💰

Looking beyond the initial price can lead to better infrastructure decisions.
