An insightful article by Helen McGarry in the latest issue of The Concrete Society Magazine, exploring a groundbreaking study aimed at addressing the data gap regarding the embodied carbon of precast concrete mixes. Helen collaborated with AG Paving and Building Products, Creagh Concrete, and Mannok Precast. Together, they gathered and analysed data on the embodied carbon of concrete used in various precasting methods and across a wide range of element types. It will be interesting to see how this collaborative effort drives more sustainable practices within the concrete industry. #concrete #construction #magazines #lowcarbon #ThinkDesignEngineer

Design ID is a creative & ambitious practice of engineers that have built a reputation for providing innovative design.
About us
Design ID has a reputation for producing innovative design solutions with a pro-active approach to working with Architects, Artists, Designers, Developers and Contractors. Our experience of working in multidisciplinary teams and lateral thinking enables us to make a positive contribution at an early stage in the design process, when engineering input can often be used to achieve an elegant and cost effective solution. We have developed the skills required to engineer geometrically and structurally complex projects. Three dimensional computer modelling is becoming an integral aspect in realising many design visions and we are able to use our skills in this area at conceptual stages to help other members of the design team and clients visualise various solutions. Our approach, along with our creative background allows us to work in harmony with Architects without compromising the integrity of their concept. This inspires and drives us to create ingenious, forward thinking but appropriate designs to overcome engineering difficulties and material limitations.

Thank you to Moore Concrete Products Ltd for hosting our apprentices at your Broughshane facility. Their highlights included: A project featuring 80% GGBS replacement and basalt replacement rods. A 6m tall retaining wall. A precast feeding trough for cattle, which sparked some creative ideas for bath tubs! We appreciate manufacturers providing the opportunity for our apprentices to gain insight into the design and production of precast concrete elements and explore innovative solutions in concrete manufacturing.
