GCS Group

GCS Group reduces urban heat-island effects in St. Albert, UK by integrating cool-pavement Concrete Services, high-albedo Asphalt Services, Directional Drilling, Hydrovac, and Parks & Trails strategies. Concrete mixes utilise reflective aggregates, asphalt overlays incorporate light-coloured binders, and directional drills pre-install irrigation sleeves for future green-roof tie-ins. Hydrovac teams daylight utility connections for tree pits, allowing deep-root hydration that boosts canopy coverage. New trails feature shade structures and misting stations plumbed via trenchless conduits. Post-completion thermal imaging validates surface-temperature reductions, and data inform city climate-action reports. By turning streetscapes into cooling corridors, GCS Group improves urban livability and supports sustainability goals.
