The debate over the degree to which human activities are affecting global warming still rages but at Roughton we are focused on practical realities, such as the consequences of the depletion of irreplaceable fossil fuels, the cost of inefficient energy use and flooding caused by inappropriate landscaping.
Roughton's services are based on a practical, common sense approach through which we aim to benefit the environments in which we work, both in the UK and overseas. We provide strategic and project specific advice and engineering design consultancy on the following:
