After this presentation was well received by Eastern Branch, we are pleased to welcome Joel to present to our branch.
The presentation explores the delivery of the A47 Acle Straight low-carbon exemplar road reinstatement; a major highways scheme delivered in partnership with National Highways and WSP.
Joels presentation will explain how innovative design choices and construction methods including evobuild foamed asphalt (CRBM), high levels of recycling, electrified plant and local supply solutions were combined to resurface over 10 miles of strategic road while achieving carbon savings that Joel will expand on.
