With the focus on the metropolitan areas of Ghent, Rotterdam and Northern France, by-products such as metallic slags and incineration ashes are used as alternative raw materials for the production of concrete. Replacing primary raw materials with by-products could save an estimated 84 million tonnes of mineral building materials per year.</p><h2>The main objectives</h2><ol><li><strong>Development of concretes with 100% by-products </strong>(aggregate) as well as with clinker-efficient cements</li><li>Networking of by-product providers and construction industry by means of<strong> a web-based platform</strong> for forecasting availability and considering the logistical chains underlying the construction demand;</li><li><strong>Testing of the concretes</strong> developed in the project (URBCON concretes) on the basis of three pilot projects (including a school building in Ghent);</li><li><strong>Preparation of a Strategic Technology Transfer Plan</strong>: proposals for policy frameworks, life cycle assessments, pre-normative work, economic feasibility studies.</li></ol> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--call-to-action paragraph--view-mode--full cta-block image-none link"> <div class="cta-block__content"> <div class="feature-block secondary"> <h2>More about the project</h2> <a href="https://www.nweurope.eu/projects/project-search/urbcon-by-products-for-sustainable-concrete-in-the-urban-environment/" class="button button-secondary">Visit the URBCON website</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--full"> <p>The City of Ghent and Ghent University are lead partners in the project, uniting 13 partners from 4 countries:</p><ul><li>Belgium: City of Ghent,<span> </span><a href="https://www.ugent.be/ea/structural-engineering/en/research/magnel">Ghent University</a>,<span> </span><a href="https://www.resourcefull.eu/">ResourceFull BVBA</a>,<span> </span><a href="https://www.cware.be/">CWare</a>,<span> </span><a href="https://www.kampc.be/">Kamp C</a><span> </span>and<span> </span><a href="https://belgium.arcelormittal.com/en/">ArcelorMittal Belgium NV</a></li><li>The Netherlands:<span> </span><a href="https://www.rotterdam.nl/bestuur-organisatie/stadsontwikkeling/">Stadsontwikkeling Rotterdam</a>,<span> </span><a href="https://www.tudelft.nl/en/ceg/about-faculty/departments/materials-mechanics-management-design-3md/sections-labs/materials-environment/microlab/">Technische Universiteit Delft</a>,<span> </span><a href="https://www.fdn-engineering.nl/">FDN Engineering</a></li><li>Germany:<span> </span><a href="https://www.mv.uni-kl.de/en/wkk/home/">Technische Universität Kaiserslautern</a>,<span> </span><a href="https://www.vdz-online.de/en/vdz/vdz-ggmbh/">VDZ gGmbH</a></li><li>United Kingdom:<span> </span><a href="https://www.imerys.com/">Imerys</a>, <a href="https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/materials/research/cements">University of Sheffield</a></li></ul><p>The total budget of the project amounts to €5.15 million, of which €3.09 is funded by the<span> </span><a href="http://www.nweurope.eu/">Interreg North-West Europe Programme</a><span> </span>under the EU Cohesion Policy and financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).</p><p>The duration of the URBCON project is 54 months:<strong> from October 2018 to October 2023.</strong></p> </div> " infopages.
