Spanning the "Kleine Blau" river and connecting the "Lautenberg" road to a park, this bridge is equipped with smart sensors that monitor the construction's behavior in real-time. This project is part of the Interreg Europe NWE project: Smart Circular Bridge, with the municipality of Stadt Ulm playing a crucial role. Choosing this category highlights the groundbreaking application of bio-based materials in a functional traffic bridge, contributing to the circular economy and sustainable infrastructure 🌍. ✨ This project introduces two significant innovations: the scaling up of bio-composites to full-fledged traffic bridges and the use of an economically attractive and sustainable unsaturated polyester resin. This unique combination positions the bridge as a pioneer in the application of bio-based materials in infrastructure. The bridge offers a sustainable and high-quality alternative to existing glass fiber bridges. The use of natural fibers and smart technologies not only provides financial benefits but also enhances quality and craftsmanship within the construction sector. Furthermore, the bridge contributes to the development of sustainable infrastructure and strengthens the market position of bio-based materials. https://lnkd.in/dUanuXBw The film is made by our partner Proesler Kommunikation Engineering en production: Eindhoven University of Technology, Witteveen+Bos, Delft Infra Composites B.V.

Shout out to Nicholas Callegari, founder of EIC client VeruStruct, for catching Mayor Elicker’s attention at ClimateHaven’s press conference last week! Nick left his engineering role with SpaceX to attend Yale School of Management and form VeruStruct (formerly Impact3D), a public benefit corporation with a mission to tackle housing insecurity driven by soaring housing costs and the environmental impacts of current construction methods. VeruStruct is developing a 3D printer that uses sustainable materials to print the structural walls for affordable housing at a fraction of the cost of traditional construction methods. It’s first pilot site: New Haven!   VeruStruct is just one of the many pioneering ventures that the EIC has supported over the years dedicated to creating innovative solutions to the social, environmental, and economic challenges of a warming planet. We take immense pride in our commitment to helping these ventures in their fight against climate change.
