About

Devon County Council is seeking a supplier for a study into the impact of highway construction activities on soil carbon levels and soil health as part of the A382 Link Road Development near Newton Abbot, Devon. Additional funding from the ADEPT Live Labs 2: Decarbonising Local Roads programme will support investigation of carbon reduction measures and demonstration projects that reduce and remove carbon emissions from highway construction. The study will examine the potential benefits of incorporating biochar, enhanced mineral weathering and mycorrhizal fungi into traditional highway earthworks operations, informed by emerging research on increased carbon sequestration rates, improved soil health and long-term carbon storage within highway verges and associated landscape areas. The available budget for this work is between £150,000 and £170,000, with further cost details provided in the project documentation.
