Austin Industries commits to performing our services in an environmentally responsible manner while striving to improve our company’s and our customers’ environmental performance. Recognizing that climate change is an important issue for our planet, we seek to limit the negative environmental impacts of our work by creating an efficient supply chain, reducing carbon footprints, conserving resources, and recycling waste where practicable.
Through 2024, Austin Commercial has constructed more than 30.9 million SF of LEED Gold space and more than 5 million SF of LEED Platinum space. The company continues to lead the industry with expertise in the means, methods, and materials to effectively meet each owner's unique sustainability goals.
In 2024, Austin Bridge & Road used approximately 17% of recycled products, including materials, in its asphalt production. Additionally, the company used 19% of recycled oil, reducing the amount of virgin oil required for new asphalt production.
Austin Industrial’s refinery work aims to lower the sulfur content in diesel fuels and produce cleaner-burning gasoline. Both new and revamped gas facilities are designed to meet stringent emission standards, use renewable resources, reduce oil consumption, ensure proper handling and disposal of materials, and use preventive maintenance to meet Austin’s zero-emissions standard. Austin Industrial is also steadfast in its approach for leak-free start-ups of plant operations on turnaround and outage contracts.
"At Austin, I’m proud to say that we are doing our part to protect the environment by using recycled products in our hot mix asphalt plants."
