Bam Nuttall Limited

This project aims to deliver a novel technology for in-situ repair of existing infrastructure, such as coastal and flood defences, based on Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP). MICP can provide a sustainable alternative to demolishing, disposing of, and rebuilding infrastructure using high carbon materials such as steel and concrete.

**TRAMS-Enterprise** will develop a consistent, sector-wide framework (rules, guidance) to manage trusted and responsible data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning-based solutions for the construction sector. In doing this, it draws on the requirements, experience and expertise of leading construction contractors and other industry bodies and ex...

**PRISM** will develop a digitally-enabled construction planning and management solution that delivers step-change productivity improvements for on-site construction. On-site construction is impacted by multiple issues that can accrue over time to cause overall programme delays and increase project risk. Short-term (Lookahead) planning aims to avoid/minim...

Construction has not seen productivity improvements common to other industrial sectors. The sector is responding to this, aiming to optimise the productivity of the end-to-end process via digitalisation, automation and off-site manufacturing. On-site construction presents a unique, challenging environment but opportunities for digitalisation and automatio...

Occupational hearing loss is the most prevalent occupational disease in industrialised countries with up to 24% of hearing impairment attributed to occupational noise. It is a Global challenge with significant economic social and physiological impacts-that results in preventable ill health for millions of people. In the US over 10 million workers suffer f...

It may be annoying for you when it rains, you get your brolly out and move on, but for the construction industry it raises a whole host of questions. Is this above or below the 10 year average? Is it disrupting work, by how long and what's the cost? As it stands today weather related disputes in contracts last up to and over 12 months and can have million...

The project’s goal is to investigate and develop innovative approaches to nuclear power station design that will enable the development of a new type of nuclear power station that can provide electricity at rates competitive with other technologies such as renewables and Gas with carbon capture and storage (CCS). The project focusses on incorporating the ...

The Sustainable Asphalt project proposed by BAM will reduce the environmental impact of constructing and maintaining highways in the UK, directly contributing to Highways England's Theme 4 Energy and Environment objectives. Compared with "hot mix asphalt" traditionally used on the UK network, Sustainable Asphalt: - is produced at lower temparatures (reduc...

"**Challenge** - Understanding and accurately predicting concrete curing time is critical to construction projects as curing dictates subsequent build and fitting activity. But concrete curing time cannot be predicted given site-specific complex variables and human error. This results in time wastage, fines and poor productivity. **Project** -- CORE will ...

"The construction industry has poor productivity compared to other sectors in part as a result of the diverse and changing project environments. Often it is constrained by the reluctance to explore and adopt technology that is more accepted and mature in other sectors. However recently there is increasing focus on thinking of construction as a manufacturi...

Civil engineers inject cement grouts into the ground for a wide range of applications including ground strengthening and the creation of underground barriers to contain pollutants in rocks and soils. At present, it is not possible to detect where grouts go in the ground. This can result in too much grout being injected (to be on the safe side), drilling o...
