Sustainable Construction

Creagh were one of 13 partners involved in the European REuse and REcycling (RE4) project.

The RE4 project aims to radically modify the construction process and off-site production by promoting new technological solutions for the design and development of structural and non-structural pre-fabricated elements with:

• A high degree of recycled materials from construction and demolition waste (CDW)
• Reused structures from the partial or total demolition of buildings

The main purpose of the project was to develop a prefabricated energy-efficient building concept that can be easily assembled and disassembled for future reuse, containing up to 80% of recycled materials from CDW.

Creagh's demo building included a concrete testing and aggregates laboratory at their Head Office facilities in Toomebridge. Creagh manufactured and constructed all pre-cast wall panels, columns and beams for the entire project using up yo 80% recycled materials from construction demolition waste.
