A road connects more than two points. It supports an operation, crosses a landscape and uses resources. Beyond brings these dimensions together — then measures what matters for your project.
A working method for infrastructure owners, businesses and their partners.
Four dimensions, one project
Beyond the cost of construction.
Comparing access solutions also means examining the service they provide, their relationship with the landscape and the value of assets over time. Indicators are selected around the project’s actual priorities.
01
Access and continuity
Connect road design with operational continuity: availability, maintenance, access to equipment and service recovery.
What to track
Days available and hours of closure
Delivery and service-recovery time
Documented maintenance and disruption costs
Comparison basis
Equivalent use, loads, period and comparable weather conditions.
02
Land and water
Assess the footprint, works and water flows at site and watershed scales. A hybrid configuration combines a conventional road with modules at strategic locations.
What to track
Footprint, excavated volumes and imported materials
Water levels, flows and water quality under a defined protocol
Soil condition and changes in vegetation
Comparison basis
Baseline conditions, site-specific monitoring and a reference scenario. Limiting disturbance and regenerating an ecosystem are distinct outcomes.
03
Asset circularity
Follow each module through its uses: deploy, inspect, clean, repair when needed and redeploy.
What to track
Actual deployment count and days of service
Modules reused, replaced or withdrawn
Masses of recovered and actually recycled materials
Comparison basis
Asset histories and treatment records. Recyclable material is not the same as material already recycled.
04
Local value and skills
Build local purchasing, paid work, training and dialogue with users and communities into project arrangements.
What to track
Local purchasing and paid working hours
Completed training and skills acquired
Participation agreements, feedback and corrective actions
Comparison basis
Agreed local boundaries, defined responsibilities and data shared with the consent of the parties concerned.
From event to result
A useful indicator can be traced to its source.
Define the period, scope and reference solution for each project. Then connect field events with results through an explicit calculation method.
01
Identify
Project, period, module or intervention area.
02
Document
Deployment, inspection, cleaning, repair or reuse, with supporting evidence.
03
Compare
Indicator, unit, method and reference scenario.
04
Review
Responsible person, uncertainties, review date and any verification.
Three statuses, always visible
Unit · method · source · period · owner · review status
Measured
A field observation, record or dated supporting document.
Modelled
A calculated result with assumptions, boundaries and uncertainties.
Target
An intended outcome, distinguished from results already achieved.
Example: a reuse event
A module removed from one site and installed at another can count as a new deployment when both events are documented. The associated benefit is then calculated against a reference solution, including the necessary transport, cleaning and refurbishment.
Data for decisions and reporting
From field indicators to your ESG reports.
The SDGs set a collective direction. ESG information describes an organisation’s environmental, social and governance issues. Our framework brings these perspectives together at project level.
E
Environmental
Materials, water, soils and emissions. A CO₂e comparison covers manufacturing, transport, installation, maintenance, relocations and end-of-life for an equivalent service.
S
Social
Paid work, training, participation and service quality. Community roles and arrangements are developed with the partners concerned.
G
Governance
Traceable data, named owners, inspections, incidents and action tracking. A verifiable record supports review; independent verification must be documented separately.
Scope of the method
This Beyond framework organises indicator selection and monitoring. It is neither United Nations certification nor certification of compliance with an ESG reporting standard. The final report’s requirements are to be defined with its intended recipient.
Estimated avoided emissions, inventory emissions and carbon removals are presented separately. A life-cycle comparison does not, by itself, establish eligibility for carbon credits.
Digital continuity
The Digital Pass: connect the asset to its story.
Dashboard planned for 2027 · Digital Pass v2 under development
The dashboard planned for 2027 and Digital Pass v2 under development are designed to connect module identity, assignments, inspections, cleaning, reuse and documents. Geolocation and field data can enrich this record according to the configuration deployed.
A basis for preparing usage reports for your clients or management, and informing operational, financial and ESG reporting.
Connect action with the Sustainable Development Goals.
We select the goals and targets that genuinely relate to the project’s priorities. The links below lead to the official United Nations goals; project indicators are defined for each application.
Footprint, ecological condition and outcomes of restoration work.
Urban, emergency-access or partnership contexts may call for additional targets. Selection relies on documented activities and outcomes, without assuming a contribution to every SDG.
Start with your use case, your site and the decisions ahead. Together, we can select indicators, identify the data to gather and define reporting suited to your teams.
