T0049 Collaborative research with industry partners

Descriptions

Undertake research into the evaluation of sustainability measures and benefits which, following successful outcomes of this research, may be added, or used in discussion on to the Highways England standards forward programme. The research will support the development of a generic UK approach to pavement sustainability measurement for pavement construction products and processes e.g. sustainability in design, procurement, specification, application and assessment of pavement materials and design assumptions. The research will also seek to, collate information on what other sectors and industries are doing, and take account of future targets e.g. "Net Zero".
