Concrete in Practice: Decarbonisation at One North Quay, London

The new Concrete in Practice series of webinars aim to share learning and progress being made using concrete today, with project team presentations from buildings currently on-site.

This first event in the series focused on learning from One North Quay, an under construction skyscraper laboratory (the first in Britain) which is working towards achieving ambitious embodied carbon budgets.

Steve Brown and Simon Banfield from Ramboll reflect on how sustainability ambitions are being realised at One North Quay. The project is due to save ~20,000 tCO2e; and the presentation discusses how an innovative approach to the construction stages of the project through initiatives such as early collaboration across the design team and effective measurement and reporting can serve this and future projects in reducing carbon.
