Let's Talk Sustainability - The decarbonisation challenge - May 2024
Learn how to help address the challenge of decarbonising construction projects with the latest in our series of free online events aimed at everyone in the construction sector with an interest in the topic including contractors, local authorities, highways professionals, architects, engineers, and housebuilders.
It will showcase how we are leading the construction materials industry in decarbonising our products and includes:
- An update on our industry-leading carbon capture and storage project at our Padeswood cement works in north Wales.
- How we demonstrated a world first using hydrogen to fuel cement production and what this might mean for future fuel switching to low carbon/net zero mixes.
- An introduction to evoZero, the world’s first carbon captured net zero cement.
Lets Talk Sustainability - The decarbonisation challenge
Let's Talk Sustainability - Biodiversity webinar held November 2023
Learn about the importance of considering biodiversity in your construction projects with the latest in our series of free online Let’s Talk Sustainability events. This free webinar is aimed at everyone in the construction sector with an interest in the topic including local authorities, highways professionals, architects and housebuilders.
The event included a discussion about what biodiversity is, why it’s important and what the government’s plan for new housing, commercial and infrastructure developments to be ‘nature positive’ looks like.
Decarbonisation - April 2023
Aimed at everyone involved in the construction sector this webinar includes what we are doing to decarbonise cement to enable us to produce net zero carbon concrete in the future as well as what low carbon concrete products are available right now to help reduce the carbon footprint of construction projects.
Social Value - September 2022
Learn the importance of social value, what it is and how our learnings and activities can be applied across the construction industry with our free online webinar.
Specifying Reduced Emission Asphalt (REA)
The webinar discusses how emissions in road construction can be reduced through specifying REA.
GGBS webinar
Reducing the carbon emissions associated with concrete is now of critical importance throughout the construction supply chain. This presentation focuses on how the use of cement additions such as GGBS can produce sustainable, low carbon concrete.
Specifying sustainable concrete using GGBS
Reducing the carbon emissions associated with concrete is now of critical importance throughout the construction supply chain. This presentation focuses on how the use of cement additions such as GGBS can produce sustainable, low carbon concrete.
Sustainable road construction using crack resisting asphalt
This webinar focuses on using crack resisting asphalt for concrete overlays to reduce maintenance and create a long-lasting surface for a more sustainable road construction.
Improve air quality using photocatalytic cements
Urban air quality is of critical concern in built-up areas nationwide. This presentation demonstrates how photocatalytic cements and concretes can be used to remove pollutants from the air and improve quality of life in urban environments, and how you can be involved in implementing these in your areas.
Improving power transmission efficiency
Increasing the efficiency of power transmission networks is important for sustainability, financial and operational reasons. This presentation highlights how specialist concretes can be used in these networks, and how they can be specified.
Road construction using single layer asphalt
This webinar discusses the benefits of using single layer asphalt in various applications to achieve a sustainable solution.
Low carbon road construction using warm-mix asphalt
This webinar focuses on how carbon savings can be achieved through using warm-mix asphalt.
Using new cement types in sustainable concrete
Reducing the carbon emissions associated with concrete is now of critical importance throughout the construction supply chain. This presentation focuses on how the use of new types of cement can produce sustainable, low carbon concrete.
