With the issue of sustainability becoming higher on the agenda of both Government and society, there is a need to consider sustainable ground engineering solutions that fulfil the engineering requirements, but at the same time make use of more sustainable practices and materials (e.g. bio piles and composites).
A new CIRIA project, Embedding sustainability in ground engineering solutions (P2505) will review the techniques currently undertaken in ground engineering contained within the suite of published CIRIA guidance to assess the sustainability credentials of these techniques and investigate how they can be adapted to meet changing perceptions.
