The preliminary program of the 3rd Annual Conference on Foundation Decarbonization and Re-use is now available! The conference will take place at the impressive Royal Tropical Institute (KIT) in Amsterdam.   Each day starts with a keynote lecture by an invited speaker, after the keynote lectures there will be several presentations, covering all types of foundation types (covering not only timber, steel and concrete piles, but also ground improvement) with speakers from around the world.   The themes of the conference are:   Session 1: The decision-making process regarding foundation decarbonization and reuse Session 2: The inspection and testing of existing foundations to assess their suitability for reuse Session 3: The design process when foundations are decarbonized or reused Session 4: The construction phase when foundations are decarbonized or reused More information and registration visit the conference website https://lnkd.in/em2axDu5 #foundationreuse #geotechnicalengineering #deepfoundations

Reusing foundations – are you making the most of the opportunities? Below ground construction is typically composed of high-volume, resource-intensive materials like concrete, steel, and polymers. While their durability and integrity is paramount, their potential for reuse can be overlooked, missing a huge opportunity to reduce material waste, decrease embodied carbon, and drive more circular construction practices. Andy Tyler, Head of Geotechnical at Heyne Tillett Steel, will be discussing the ‘why’, the ‘how’, and what to consider when it comes to reusing foundations at tomorrow’s Exploring Reuse Opportunities: Below Ground Products webinar, hosted by the Alliance for Sustainable Building Products. Joining Andy will be Roy Fishwick, Cleveland Steel & Tubes Ltd; Iain Bell, John Lawrie Tubulars UK & Europe; and PIOTR BABST, Winkelmann Foundation Screw. Date: Thursday 30th January Time: 12:30-14:00 Location: Online Register here, free for ASBP members: https://lnkd.in/esv5y3f3 #heynetillettsteel #hts #structuralengineering #geotechnicalengineering #engineer #engineering #foundationreuse #concreteconstruction #circulareconomy #londonproperty

The program of the conference on Foundation Decarbonization and Re-use is now available! The conference will take place at the impressive Royal Tropical Institute (KIT) in Amsterdam. Each day starts with a keynote lecture by an invited speaker, after the keynote lectures there will be a series of 15-minute presentations, covering all types of foundation types (covering not only timber, steel and concrete piles, but also ground improvement) with speakers from around the world.

Steel Structures in Context of Safety, Resilience & Sustainable Construction: Minimizing Environmental Impacts" has been published in the International Journal of Innovative Science and Research Technology (IJISRT). In this paper, we tried to drive the sustainable advantages of steel structures, accentuate their reusability, minimal waste, and enhanced seismic resilience. 🌱🏗️ Feel free to check it out and share your thoughts! Let's keep pushing the boundaries of sustainable construction together. 🌍🔧 #StructuralEngineering #Sustainability #SteelStructures #ResilientConstruction #Research #Innovation #CivilEngineering

With no single strategy available to reduce carbon in concrete, innovative approaches are needed in how projects are designed and built. From conversations with clients to more effective construction and use of materials, this online seminar will provide practical information and guidance on optimising design and construction decisions to aid in reducing carbon associated with the use of concrete. #Concrete #Sustainability #Construction #Decarbonisation #SustainableConstruction #SustainableDesign #Innovation #BuildingMaterials

The future of construction just got greener! Researchers have developed a climate-friendly concrete that significantly reduces carbon emissions, paving the way for more sustainable building practices. This innovative material not only lowers the carbon footprint of construction projects but also retains the strength and durability needed for infrastructure. It's a major step forward in the fight against climate change, offering a tangible solution for greener cities and communities. At Reade, we’re committed to supporting the development of eco-friendly materials that make a real difference.
