Low carbon alkali activated cementitious materials (AACMs) have the potential to significantly reduce the environmental impact of concrete (upto **80% reduction in embodied carbon**). However, their uptake has been slow due to the limited evidence base for their performance in use, with suppliers consequently unwilling to invest to increase manufacturing ...

The South Wales Industrial Cluster (SWIC) is a diverse mix of critical industry from the Pembrokeshire coastline to the Welsh/English border. They have converged with common objectives for decarbonisation and clean growth. Some of the sectors represented include: §Steel making§Oil Refining§Power§Nickel manufacturing§Insulation manufacturing§Chemical§LNG i...

The South Wales Industrial Cluster (SWIC) is a diverse mix of critical industry that have come together to collaboratively achieve common objectives for decarbonisation and clean growth delivering job security. The regions diverse industrial base presents both common and unique challenges. Sectors represented include steel/oil-refining/power/ paper/Nickel...

Steelmaking slag from the integrated route, ie made from blast furnace hot metal, is demetalled, crushed and screened, and used to create tarmac for the top surface of roads. Its rate of arising in the UK is around 500ktpa. However, it's skid resistance is not high enough for the top grade of road surface. For these locations, virgin aggregate has to be i...

The proposed is a research and development project that aims to bring multiple stakeholders within the Foundation Industry South Wales Region together to analyze material and energy flows and identify potential opportunities for collaboration. Funding will support an industrial circular economy vision that will open new opportunities for improved energy a...

Awaiting Public Project Summary

"**AIMCH seeks to industrialise the housing sector**, applying design for manufacture and assembly solutions to become a global housing leader. Digital working and offsite construction have not broken through as viable mainstream alternative's to paper based design and masonry methods. **AIMCH's ambition will transform how we build homes,** through indust...

Concrete is widely used in construction due to its ability to provide structural capacity andfunction cost effectively and at scale. However, its role in construction does not lend itself tocreativity in design. High-end clients typically demand state-of-the-art designs, presenting achallenge in a sector where every building is essentially different to th...

RESCIND will harness the value in two continuously produced waste streams: Pulverised Fuel Ash (PFA, ‘fly ash’) from coal-fired power stations and Cement Kiln Dust (CKD) from the production of cement to develop a low-carbon building product. CKD is a by-product of cement clinker production which generates significant disposal costs for the cement industry...

Tag & track provides the controls needed for effective implementation of industrialised construction activities, leading to certainty of outcome & reduced costs. There are a number of tag/track approaches (RFID/Bluetooth enabled, QR, Barcodes) that can be used to collect real-time data on the status/location of a component during the construction and life...

This project seeks to apply cutting edge research to produce a novel floating material for environmental clean-up. Using high tech formulation technology an active surface can be coated onto floating granules. These are activated by light to degrade oil and other contaminants. A key feature of these new products is that they are active in the visible rang...

The main goals of this project were a) to identify, source and make ready for Decorative paint evaluation a range of mineral wastes b) to evaluate the identified and prepared mineral wastes in Decorative paint c) to identify the preferred mineral wastes for effective use in Decorative paint d) to quantify the environmental benefits of the use of mineral w...
