This 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.
Joel presentation will explain on 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 ten miles of strategic road while achieving carbon savings of more than 400 tonnes of CO₂e compared to traditional approaches.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions as part of a Q&A session at the end of the presentation.
