HTS+ is our self-funded research initiative.
This research piece by Ben Gardner in collaboration with Utsav Paudel from our Highways and Transport team looks into reducing embodied carbon in transport infrastructure.
Where should we locate our industrial buildings? We take a look at the implications of building up on tight urban sites versus building out on unconstrained sites.
With current guidance based on concrete and steel, are we at risk of overspecifying timber structures?
Senior Materials Scientist Benjamin Gardner delves deeper into the production rebar, investigating the global market and how much the UK imports.

An in-depth discussion of the key moves involved in designing and delivering this exceptionally low carbon structural steel frame.
As global demand for low-carbon materials grows, GGBS supply may tighten. Read our latest approach note on limits and alternatives.
With 60% lower emissions than new concrete and potential for huge resource savings, why aren't we reusing more salvaged concrete?
Around half the steel in London’s buildings is encased in concrete, but how easy is it to justify encased steel for reclamation and reuse?
What happens to aggregates in UK construction? This study explores the wider impacts of raw material extraction.
