About
National Highways awarded a contract to Ove Arup & Partners Ltd - SPaTS for the validation and standardisation of lower-carbon binary and ternary blended cements to accelerate the decarbonisation of concrete.
The research project validated lower-carbon cement blends for incorporation into UK standards, defined assessment and validation work on binary and ternary blended formulations, and produced evidence to support changes to standards and specifications.
