Reducing our environmental impact
Sustainability is our driver of innovation for remaining environmentally responsible, supportive to our employees, and fiscally responsible with our business decisions. New England is the forefront for environmental conservation and as our home, we have an obligation to continue our promise to our environment and communities we serve.

We take a number of steps to reduce our environmental impact, including:

- Educating our employees about sustainability
In the field, recycled elements are incorporated into all aspects of our projects wherever possible and excellent waste management behaviors boast creativity and cost-effective solutions. The Midway fleet is comprised of vehicles that meet even the most stringent emission regulations. Each vehicle and motorized piece of equipment is maintained and serviced regularly to the highest of standards, providing the best fuel efficiency and ensuring the machinery is running cleanly.
In the office, locations in Seabrook and Bow, NH were built with conservative energy consumption in mind. Outfitted with Hi-Efficiency HVAC units coupled with effective insulation and energy rated windows and doors, both locations draw minimum energy use during all seasons. We have upgraded our lighting systems to more energy-efficient LED models. Company policies regarding garbage disposal and separate recycling receptacle use promotes workplace cleanliness and responsible environmental practices. Our Fleet Maintenance facility is equipped with disposal and containment systems promoting clean recycling of fluids and excellent spill protection. All chemicals, cleaners, greases, and fuels are stored in approved containers and inspected regularly.
