Going Green

West Valley’s Fleet & Facilities Department was an early adopter of sustainable practices. Our Fleet Sustainability Program is focused on idle reduction, increased fuel economy, and conversion to clean fuel & zero-emission vehicles with the goal of having a zero-emission medium-and heavy-duty fleet by 2040. Our Facilities Sustainability Program is focused on recycling, waste reduction, water conservation and energy-efficient building improvements.

West Valley has put into service hybrid and battery-electric vehicles, solar-powered EV charging stations, is running renewable diesel on other vehicles, and will continue converting our fleet to low or zero emission vehicles.

“As an underground construction company our work, the tools and equipment we use along with the maintenance, repair and even the washing of these things is inherently dirty. We have found ways to use water more effectively so that our procedures are cleaner and safer not only for our employees but also for the environment.” Jolie Hughes, Fleet Administrator
