There are a growing number of low and lower carbon concretes available on the market, with the potential for cutting the embodied carbon of new development. This session explores new product development and initiatives to help facilitate their specification and use at scale.
An expert panel from across the design, construction and supply chain will present discuss examples, projects, technologies and experiences including:
- Collaboration and trials to study and share performance for placing the concrete, striking times and finishes of in situ, post-tensioned and precast concrete structure.
- Use of remote digital sensors for real time data collection on site.
- Expanding the availability of local low carbon resources for manufacture through new labs and testing facilities
- SISK’s Demonstrator Project at Wembley Park Development aiming to accelerate the commercial viability of low carbon cement
