“Everyone out there, if they’re not thinking of sustainability, thinking about how to have an infrastructure asset that can protect the environment and not harm it…they’re not thinking of building a better tomorrow. They may not be asking themselves: how do I build a better tomorrow? You build a better tomorrow by planning with confidence; you build with quality and you maintain with efficiency.”
