BGIS ‘shines the light’ on ESG and innovation

BGIS recently undertook an initiative to replace electric, battery-reliant exit signs with Smarterlite Environmental Exit Signs for one of our major Government clients.The Hybrid LED Exit Sign utilises a photoluminescent technology that is charged through a 0.74-Watt LED strip when power is available. If power is lost it illuminates providing a clear indication path of exit for building occupants. The Australian–made and owned product does not utilise a battery, therefore there is no requirement to conduct a 90-min discharge test.

Recycling tyres into paving

An award-winning innovation solution, Flexiroc, a recycled tyre rubber as a sustainable alternative to traditional aggregates. It has 100 times more flex than concrete and is 30% less dense with enhanced energy-absorbing characteristics, resulting in lighter, thinner structures that are faster and cheaper to construct. Depending on the application, the aggregate mix is adjusted to suit. A trial at Holsworthy Barracks, along with several other projects, has resulted in 17.5% of Defence’s annual tyre waste, diverted from landfill. In this video BGIS, Veolia and Security and Estate Group talk about this exciting collaboration.

Seabin technology reducing debris

BGIS introduced Floating sea bins that collect waste and debris that float across the surface of the ocean. This initiative collects rubbish generated from within Sydney harbour and neighbouring properties and aligns with the client’s sustainable practices, as well as protecting their reputation.

At BGIS, we are constantly innovating with our clients who look to us for new ideas to drive efficiencies. BGIS prioritises the safety of our people, vendors, clients and communities in which we operate and actively collaborate with our stakeholders to be safer together. It makes sense then to look for innovative ways to keep our people safe and well-prepared. That’s why we’ve partnered with Next World in a trial to bring Virtual Reality safety training to our teams and clients. This cutting-edge technology allows us to provide immersive, hands-on learning experiences that are both engaging and effective.
