| 摘要： | Production of cement, a key ingredient in concrete, currently accounts for around 7% of the world's C02 emissions, although in the UK this figure is less than 1.5%. The £282m M42 Junction 6 improvement project is trialling the use of low carbon concrete and basalt fibre reinforcement on a temporary haul road for construction vehicles, comparing it against traditional steel-reinforced concrete. The trial is being led by Skanska in partnership with the National Composites Centre. Glennan Blackmore, Skanska UK's operations director (highways), says the combination of low carbon concrete and the replacement of the steel with a lightweight composite reinforcement reduces the carbon footprint by more than 50%. 'With support and funding from customer National Highways, we have been able to bring together the knowledge, skills and innovative thinking from expert teams within Skanska, the National Composites Centre and supply chain partners Basalt Technologies and Tarmac to carry out this exciting trial,' he says. Through using a unique combination of materials, we are working to not only cut carbon but also aiming to improve the structural performance of reinforced concrete and deliver better productivity, safety and cost outcomes. |
