Ingqalasizinda iqhubekela phambili ekukhiqizweni kweqanda elinguziro
The UMkhandlu Wokusimama Kwengqalasizindaka- 2021 Umbiko Wonyaka Womthelela udalule ukuthi ngonyaka wezimali odlule, amaphrojekthi agunyazwe wumkhandlu anciphisa igesi ehlobene negesi ngo-43% kanye negesi ehlobene nempahla ngo-56%.
The report is confirmation that the sector is moving towards net zero emissions and a future with more sustainable, resilient, inclusive infrastructure, said Infrastructure Sustainability Council Chief Executive Officer Ainsley Simpson.
“Sesikufakazele ukuthi ukugxilisa izidingo zokusimama ezimeni zebhizinisi, ukuthengwa kwempahla kanye nezinkontileka kunganciphisa ukukhishwa kwethu kwegesi ngesigamu - impumelelo emangalisayo enikezwe ingqalasizinda ithathwe njengenye yemikhakha yomnotho 'okunzima ukuyishintsha'. ingqalasizinda esimeme ukululama, ukukhishwa kwe-zero yonke kungaphakathi kwethu,” kusho uSimpson.
Cishe u-70% wezinto ezikhishwayo zase-Australia zinikwe amandla yingqalasizinda, ngokusho kwe-Reshaping Infrastructure, iphepha elishicilelwe yi-Infrastructure Sustainability Council, ClimateWorks Australia kanye ne-Australian Sustainable. Indawo Ewakhiwe UMkhandlu ngo-2020.
Over the last four years the 34 As Built projects certified by the IS Rating Scheme have avoided 26.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent by meeting best-practice benchmarks for sustainable infrastructure design, construction and asset management.
"Lokhu kucishe kulingane namathani ayizigidi ezingama-26 wezinto ezikhishwayo ezikhishwe kuwo wonke umnotho wase-Australia ngo-2020," kusho uSimpson.
I-Infrastructure Sustainability Rating Scheme iyizinga lokubika elakhelwe ukuqinisekisa ukusimama kwemiphumela uma kuqhathaniswa nezilinganiso. Amandla akhishwayo, amanzi, imfucuza kanye namandla okunciphisa amandla ephrojekthi ngayinye yengqalasizinda anqunywa ngokwenqubo yebhizinisi njengenjwayelo njengengxenye yenqubo yokulinganisa. Yonke imiphumela ifakwe kumephu ye-UN Ukuthuthuka okungashabalali Imigomo.
Umbiko Wemithelela ka-2021 uqinisekise imiphumela ehlaba umxhwele yezenhlalo, amasiko, ezemvelo nezenhlalo ezivela kumaphrojekthi wengqalasizinda. Amaphrojekthi aqinisekisiwe aphambukisa u-95% wemfucuza endaweni yokulahla imfucumfucu, kuyilapho amanzi esetshenziswa ukwakhiwa nokusebenza kwamaphrojekthi alinganiswe yi-IS cishe bekuyingxenye yecala eliyisisekelo.
The list of certified projects on the Infrastructure Sustainability Council’s books includes the $1.2 billion CBD & South East Light Rail project in New South Wales, which replaced 33% of its emissions-intensive Portland cement with supplementary cementing materials like fly ash to reduce its environmental impact. Another project, ingxenye yeVictoria's Big Build, $1.4 billion Level Crossing Removal Programme, yaphambukisa u-100% wemfucuza yayo yokwakha - amathani amakhulu angama-61,817 - endaweni yokulahla imfucumfucu..
“Umyalezo wethu ucacile. Iziyalezo zikahulumeni ze-IS Rating Scheme ziyasebenza — sehlisa ukungcola ngesivinini. Inselelo yethu manje ukususa i-hand brake nenqubomgomo kazwelonke ehlanganisa ukusimama kuzo zonke izigaba zomjikelezo wephrojekthi yazo zonke izigaba zempahla,” kusho uSimpson.
“Sikubonile ukuzibophezela kwengqalasizinda esimeme ngenqubomgomo, ukuhlela kanye nokuthenga kuphindwe kabili onyakeni owodwa nje, kanye nokubhaliswa kwe-IS okusha okungu-55 ngemali elinganiselwa ku-$19.3 billion yokutshalwa kwezimali kwingqalasizinda.
“Infrastructure has a huge contribution to make in the decade of decarbonisation. We have positive proof that a holistic and transparent approach to sustainability can drive emissions reduction and workforce capability, and stimulate local and regional economies,” Simpson concludes.
