Introduction

CEEQUAL and BREEAM Infrastructure

CEEQUAL Version 6 combines the legacy and track record of CEEQUAL with new thinking from BREEAM. It brings together the best of both schemes and challenges projects to deliver better outcomes in infrastructure sustainability.

Projects from around the world can also register using CEEQUAL Version 6 International.

About CEEQUAL

CEEQUAL is the sustainability assessment and rating methodology initiated by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) for the assessment of all types of civil engineering, infrastructure, landscaping, and public realm projects and contracts. CEEQUAL was launched publicly in 2003 with Version 2 of the methodology and has been progressively updated and upgraded to broaden and deepen the assessments.

As of 1 November 2015, CEEQUAL Ltd. was acquired by BRE Global Limited and CEEQUAL is now part of the BREEAM family of schemes.

Scope

CEEQUAL for Term Contracts should be used to assess the maintenance of assets or the construction of small repetitive works.

Can be used on any type of civil engineering, infrastructure, landscaping or public realm project. This includes the construction or refurbishment of assets such as roads, railways, ports, wind farms, flood alleviation schemes, wastewater treatment works, and utilities, plus specialist projects such as demolition or remediation works.
