Working to protect the environment
Environment First
OMGD was created and GD handling grabs invented to comply with the 1985 French standard prohibiting any possibility of making
holes on concrete products used in a sewerage system as a result of the handling process. This is because holes made in the past were not correctly filled and subsequently caused pollution of the underground waters through seepage of the effluents into the natural environment.
Addressing environmental issues has become a company ethic.
Through the systematic recycling of waste materials, with thoughtful product design, and a business philosophy of repairing equipment rather than throwing it to the scrap heap, OMGD always act to limit the direct or indirect impact of our processes on the environment.
As an example, for equipment used in a sewerage industry, OMGD explored the problem of broken edges on concrete sections resulting in leaks from the interlocking sections, and devised a way of preventing leaks with waterproof seals. results : a simple and efficient way of preventing environmental damage to underground waters.
