Sustainability at Ames: Working in Harmony with Nature

Ames Construction got its start with soil conservation projects, leading to an early commitment of “Working in Harmony with Nature.” Six decades later, here’s how we live up to that commitment:

→ We devise ways to reduce truck trips and lower emissions.

→ We create buffer zones to prevent encroachment on nesting birds and other wildlife.

→ We operate late-model heavy equipment with the most advanced environmental features.

→ We find ways to recycle construction materials and reduce waste. 

→ We leave our project sites and communities better than we found them.
