New construction technologies address environmental concerns

MANILA, Philippines - A local formworks and shoring company, Dimension-ALL, is calling on members of the Philippine construction industry to rally support behind the Paris agreement on climate change that was adopted by almost 200 countries during the 21st Conference of Parties (COP21) held during the latter part of December last year.

Consistent with the Philippine position on the climate change agreement, Dimension-ALL has raised the necessity of “commitment on technological support” for efforts directed to mitigate the effects of climate change and resulting disasters brought about by climate change that cause severe loss of lives and properties.

“We believe the Philippine construction industry has the responsibility to help people and communities become resilient against these types of natural disasters resulting to climate change,” said Dimension-ALL COO and vice president Steven Phillips.

Dimension-ALL, a local formworks and shoring company is considered an expert in the most advanced formworks technology and in maximizing its own customer relations program to help clients be resilient against natural disasters such as typhoons, flooding and even earthquake.

Phillips said that technology is an important tool in managing and coping with the number and magnitude of natural disasters that visit the country as a result of continuing changes in climate patterns and behavior.

“Corporate social responsibility, at least for the Philippine construction industry, should mean pushing technology that can address the impact of climate change,” he said.
