| 摘要： | National Highways' Net Zero Plan is based on three headline commitments: net zero for National Highways operations by 2030, net zero for maintenance and construction by 2040 and net zero carbon travel on its roads by 2050. Hill and Smith is firmly committed to supporting the plan. Our own net zero target is aligned with National Highways' pledge to achieve net zero carbon emissions for maintenance and construction operations on the strategic road network by 2040. To help realise this, the company has been working to deliver product innovations as well as ensuring its manufacturing and installation systems are as efficient as possible. This was demonstrated recently with the launch of the REBLOC H1 Barrier. Transforming our precast H2 containment Rigid Concrete Barrier [RCB), RB 80XA, through value engineering we have successfully delivered a new H1 RCB product, which removes material cost and mitigates carbon impact. The new barrier has been successfully crash tested to the required performance level of H1 containment and requires 50% less steel and 20% less concrete per unit compared to the original H2 REBLOC RB 80XA. An installation of 1,000 metres of the new H1 barrier realises a 5,250kg reduction in steel and requires 40m3 less concrete. |
