AIS SHORTLISTED FOR CARBON REDUCTION COMPETITION We are thrilled to announce that we have been shortlisted for the National Highways carbon reduction competition! The competition (in collaboration with Connected Places Catapult ) aims at finding innovative solutions for net zero carbon maintenance and construction. THE PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED Transporting heavy loads continues to be an issue within the infrastructure market, along with limited maintenance access/monitoring of assets in the field over its design life. OUR SOLUTION The asset FRP Bridge Girder with embedded smart monitoring reduces full lifecycle costs as well as maintenance visits through access to real-time data. Through our collaboration with University of Southampton , we very much look forward to developing our innovative, sustainable asset FRP solution and carry out load testing. At asset, we focus strongly on carbon reduction and modern methods of construction. Partnering with National Highways allows us to further develop our asset FRP solutions and deliver on our ESG promises.
