HS2 Ltd<\/a> has signed an agreement with the UK Collaboratorium for Research on Infrastructure and Cities<\/a> (UKCRIC), which will enable it to access leading research capabilities, knowledge and facilities<\/h2>\n

The agreement will first look to identify key areas for collaboration on low carbon concrete, such as alternative reinforcement methods, reducing embedded carbon in production, and re-use of materials.<\/p>\n

HS2 Ltd\u2019s agreement<\/a> with the UKCRIC will enable the project to draw upon key centres of British academic excellence to help drive new insight and technologies across the broad range of disciplines involved in building affordable, low carbon, modern infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The agreement will first look to identify key areas for collaboration on low carbon concrete, such as alternative reinforcement methods, reducing embedded carbon in production, and re-use of materials<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It will also provide a channel for the 15 academic institutions involved to put forward research findings that could be employed on the project.<\/p>\n

Promoting collaborations<\/h3>\n

Andrew Pestana, innovation strategy manager at HS2, said: \u201cHS2 is a major opportunity for Britain\u2019s university and business sectors to collaborate at the leading edge of innovation to meet the challenge of delivering Britain\u2019s new high speed rail network.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project\u2019s size and 20-year delivery programme provides the perfect environment in which to develop solutions for High Speed 2 and the wider rail industry \u2013 both of which are crucial in helping Britain\u2019s transport network to decarbonise<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sergio Cavalaro, skills lead for UKCRIC, added: \u201cWith this agreement, we will promote collaborations between HS2 and UKCRIC partners aimed at answering the myriad of challenges that must be addressed in the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis ambitious and comprehensive endeavour acknowledges the complementary roles of research and training in providing the know-how to address such challenges while developing the research-minded experts and embedding the skills that will enable continued progress in and beyond HS2.\u201d<\/p>\n
