A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Just £1m expended on research into large bored under-reamed piles, has made possible the construction of tall buildings on London clay to a value of £1.25bn. Pulverised fuel ash (PFA) which used to be a waste product is now used to replace about 350,000 tons of cement per annum at a saving of over nearly £9m per year as a result of £2.25m spent on research. These are just two of the examples of enormous returns on research investment in the construction industry in a report ‘Research Funding in the Construction Industry’, published by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).
