Preserving embodied CO2e with resilience management systems
This webinar will highlight a collaborative venture to develop and manufacture a standardised modular component aiming to preserve structures for whole life with control and data-driven performance.
Background
Following 10 years of collaboration with Sheffield Hallam University, C-Probe further collaborated with The MTC to develop an alkali-activated cementitious (AACM ) restoration smart product with the capacity to provide electrochemical protection to steel for the control and prevention of corrosion during the whole life of a structure.
The collaboration has resulted in a lean manufacturing process of this product, which demonstrates value stream mapping and efficient use of equipment and labour.
The end result, LoCem®, incorporates industrial wastes into its production, which helps yield up to 90% less CO2e than CEM1. This is a vital contribution to net zero and decarbonisation of the built environment, with its ultimate objective being the long-term resilience and control of corrosion within concrete infrastructures.
Join this webinar to hear first-hand from the developers about the background to the concept, its journey from prototype to manufacturing capability, its success in restoring structures, and how this further developed into a product used for modular implementation into new build structures.
The speakers will present the:
- Development of a pilot plant to manufacture 250,000 components per year as a precursor to analysing market demand before scaling.
- Planned adoption of digital robot/cobot technology to take the pilot to a 5 million unit production facility.
This webinar will demonstrate the process and benefits of the collaboration from planning stages to the long-term resilience benefits of the end product for asset owners who seek to futureproof their structures from disrepair.
Why attend
- Understand innovations that are emerging to address the decarbonisation of the built environment using resilience management for structures, mitigating climate change risks.
- Gain knowledge around a topic that is relevant across the construction industry as it approaches Net Zero and move towards the adoption of modern methods of construction.
- Discover ways to build better structures as a legacy for next generational use and maintenance.
- Increase your awareness surrounding the process of cathodic protection and the impact corrosion has on the integrity and safety of existing structures.
- Earn valuable CPD
Who should attend
- Asset owners, engineers, architects, precasters, contractors.
- Designers, project managers, buyers.
- Professionals who wish to adopt technology to address climate change and provide sustainable resilience to their built assets.
