Challenge
This challenge addresses the needs described below:
- How can we calculate the real environmental impact of each structural element and
infrastructure on the whole? - How can we align our business plan and positioning with the principles of sustainable
development (environmental, economic, and social) and trends outlined by the European
Union directives? - How can we control raw material sourcing and their PEFC and FSC certification?
How can we control and record wood structural element traceability (CLT and GLT) along
with their environmental impact? - How can we control internal operations and industrial processes for first and second wood
processing? - What new indicators will we need to provide an overview of environmental impact and
assist with decision making? - How can we store and publish relevant information about our products once installed so
that it is easily accessible for all stakeholders?
Background
EGOIN is a family-owned business with more than 30 years of experience in designing wood
structural solutions for the construction sector. Its value proposal includes engineering, design,
manufacture, and assembly, making it a trustworthy partner when it comes to developing
construction projects such as cover structure and roof refurbishment, high-rise residential
buildings, public and private developments, single-family housing, pavilions for sport and
industrial use, and more.
Since the first version of the Spanish Technical Building Code (CTE)1 was published in 2006, which
required compliance by 2009, a notable number of new construction systems started coming to
market in order to comply with these regulatory requirements.
