About this event
Below ground construction products and materials, such as foundations, piling systems, and utility infrastructure (e.g. pipes and tubes) are essential to most structural projects. These elements are 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. There is a huge opportunity to reduce material waste, decrease embodied carbon, and drive more circular construction practices.
Why attend this event?
- Hear from the experts who are already implementing below ground reuse, through novel engineering approaches, circular business models and innovative product development, such as screw pile foundations.
- Explore vital lessons learned from their experiences and hear top tips from a range of case studies – residential, commercial and infrastructure.
- Take part in a Q&A session where you’ll have the opportunity to ask the experts any key questions.
