In 2023, Austin completed approximately 1.9 million SF and one million SF of LEED Gold and Platinum space respectively. Austin Commercial has delivered LEED Gold or Platinum facilities for several Fortune 500 companies, including American Airlines, AMD, AT&T, Noble Energy, Pioneer Natural Resources, Texas Instruments, and Toyota.

AuSTIN BRIDGE & ROAD

In 2023, Austin Bridge & Road used approximately 15% of recycled products, including materials, in its asphalt production. Additionally, Austin used 19% recycled oil in this process, reducing the amount of virgin oil required for new asphalt production.

AuSTIN INDUSTRIAL

Austin Industrial’s refinery work aims to lower the sulfur content in diesel fuels and produce cleaner-burning gasoline. Both new and revamped gas facilities are designed to meet stringent emission standards, use renewable resources, reduce oil consumption, ensure proper handling and disposal of materials, and use preventive maintenance to meet Austin’s zero-emissions standard. Austin Industrial is also steadfast in its approach for leak-free start-ups of plant operations on turnaround and outage contracts.

"At Austin, I’m proud to say that we are doing our part to protect the environment by using recycled products in our hot mix asphalt plants."
