Event info
Mark your calendars for Wednesday 15th September and Thursday 16th Ocotber 2025 at the NEC, Birmingham.
Stephen Callow, will be speaking at 12:40 in the Sustainability Theatre at Highways UK 2025.
His session, Smarter pipelines: improving standards and cutting costs and carbon in buried precast concrete, will share the outcomes of collaborative research with the National Buried Infrastructure Facility (NBIF).
The work demonstrates how updating bedding class standards can deliver real cost and carbon savings for contractors. Using Finite Element Analysis modelling, the research identified that existing bedding factors for rigid (concrete) pipeline systems were overly conservative. Testing and validating new factors highlights an opportunity to bring about significant change to standards and practices - reducing costs, improving efficiency and lowering the whole-life carbon impact of buried pipeline systems.
You will also be able to find us on the MPA Asphalt stand, B48.
