Concrete Attach Seminar Theatre – two days of perception, innovation and trade debate
Throughout each display days, the Concrete Attach Seminar Theatre will host greater than 20 free-to-attend periods inspecting the technical, industrial and strategic demanding situations shaping the United Kingdom concrete sector.
The 2-day programme combines professional displays, implemented case research and moderated panel discussions, bringing in combination representatives from analysis establishments, contractors, producers and trade our bodies to proportion sensible perception and measurable results.
Day One: From web 0 solution to complicated fabrics
The programme opens with From specification to web site: sustainable concrete in apply (10:00 – 11:30), exploring how net-zero ambition is being translated into measurable results on web site.
Dr Noushin Khosravi of MPA UK Concrete will supply an replace on growth underneath the United Kingdom Concrete Sustainable Building Technique Framework and the Roadmap to Past Internet 0, whilst Dr Vaishnav Kumar Shenbagam of the College of Leeds will define the advance of belitic calcium sulfoaluminate cement as a lower-emission UK choice to Portland cement. Virtual supply and real-time carbon visibility might be tested via Joe Kirwin of Tarmac, Lisa von Graevenitz of Converge and Christopher Wellgreen of J Coffey Staff, prior to Dr Ali Riza Erson and Professor Akbar Javadi of the College of Exeter provide advances in three-D concrete printing the use of recycled aggregates.
At lunchtime, Shaping a extra sustainable concrete infrastructure with complicated carbon fabrics (12:30 – 13:25) will assess the rising function of graphene and different complicated carbons in cementitious methods. Dr Chirag Ratwani of the Complex Carbons Council will center of attention on validated efficiency information and standardisation demanding situations, Mike Harrison of Concretene will deal with cost-effective scale-up, and Dr Lisa Scullion of the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre at The College of Manchester will proportion insights from translating graphene analysis into industrial development packages.
The afternoon consultation, Houses of ternary and calcined clay concretes (14:30 – 15:30), brings in combination individuals of The Concrete Society activity workforce updating TR74: Cementitious Fabrics. Gareth Wake of the British Able-Blended Concrete Affiliation will read about implementation of the Identical Efficiency of Combos Idea inside BS 8500, whilst Apostolos Tsoumelekas of Skanska UK will proportion findings from UK calcined clay trials, together with courses from the REAL and Ex-Clay initiatives. The consultation concludes with a technical panel together with Simon Chudley of LKAB Minerals and Professor Leon Black of the College of Leeds.
Day Two: Precast, restore, digitisation and talents
Day Two opens with Precast & concrete restore spotlights (10:30 – 11:30), specializing in sturdiness, design potency and whole-life efficiency. Andrea Charlson of The Concrete Centre will discover sensible pathways to lower-carbon precast design, whilst Christian Stone of Concrete Preservation Applied sciences will read about the incipient anode impact in patch maintenance and examine not unusual remedy methods.
Virtual verification and high quality assurance take centre degree in The use of adulthood tracking to ascertain component energy for id trying out (12:30 – 13:30). William Brentnall of Balfour Beatty Vinci will provide analysis into fit curing and the viability of adulthood strategies as an alternative choice to dice trying out, with Marcus Hine of OTB Concrete discussing wider adoption of virtual energy tracking in apply.
The programme closes with Attracting, creating and holding new skill within the concrete trade (14:30 – 15:15). Claire Ackerman of The Concrete Society, John Reddy of the Institute of Concrete Generation and Lauren Fairley of the Concrete Restore Affiliation will talk about how the field is responding to the talents hole and supporting skilled construction in an trade present process speedy decarbonisation and virtual transformation. The consultation concludes with the presentation of the 2026 Rising Skill Awards, recognising remarkable pros elderly 30 and underneath throughout Design Excellence, Fabrics Specialist, Sustainability, and Precast & Offsite.
