Pragmatic engineering and advisory that supports decarbonisation, adaptation and sustainable outcomes for communities.
Sustainability built into advice and engineering
Asset owners face pressure to manage costs and emissions, meet rating obligations, build resilience to a changing climate and maintain social licence, while keeping projects on budget and on schedule.
At pitt&sherry, we approach sustainability as an integrated part of project delivery, harnessing our multidisciplinary teams to address each project's specific goals and risks. Whether that means considering resilient and efficient construction or operation, identifying opportunities to reduce cost through energy and carbon reductions, asset life extension, or developing and adapting infrastructure for a changing climate, our work spans decarbonisation, formal infrastructure ratings, lifecycle assessment and climate risk assessment. We focus on practical options that help balance your project’s engineering, community and sustainability requirements.

Our services
Our sustainability services
We support government departments, contractors, utilities, infrastructure providers and industrial operators across Australia. Our work spans early advice and strategy, through design and ratings, to verification on site, with experience across various project types.
Climate risk assessments and climate adaption
Climate risk assessments aligned to AS 5334-2013 and practical adaptation measures for infrastructure.
Decarbonisation
Carbon footprints, roadmaps, energy and carbon management plans, and target setting support from concept through to operation.
Disaster resilience and recovery
Engineering, environmental and community engagement support for communities responding to and recovering from natural disaster events.
Lifecycle assessments
Lifecycle assessments covering operational and embodied emissions to support carbon planning, reduction strategies and reporting.
Stakeholder engagement
Structured stakeholder engagement to help build community understanding and support project communication.
Sustainable and circular design
Design optimisation, design for re-use, materiality assessment and material selection, resource efficiency and strategies that may support longer asset life.
Accreditations and standards
Our work is informed by recognised accreditations and Australian standards, applied by suitably qualified consultants.
Industry accreditations across our team
Members of our team hold recognised accreditations across multiple sustainability disciplines. These include Infrastructure Sustainability Council Accredited Professional (ISAP), Climate Active, Certified Measurement and Verification Professional, AIRAH certified industrial energy auditor, and Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems Designer (CBOS), spanning infrastructure ratings, carbon neutral certification, energy verification and onsite wastewater design.
Climate risk under AS 5334-2013
Our team can deliver climate risk and adaptation assessments in accordance with AS 5334-2013 Climate change adaptation for settlements and infrastructure where relevant. This can involve assessing your infrastructure exposure to climate hazards, evaluating the vulnerability of assets and operations, and identifying adaptation measures.
