Low carbon smart pipes for use in large-scale buried infrastructure projects are to be developed in a new partnership between the University of Birmingham and manufacturing company, Aquaspira. Funded via a grant from Innovate UK, the £269,000, 9-month research programme has the potential to make a significant step-change in helping the construction sector achieve Government decarbonisation targets.

The University of Birmingham has launched a global search to appoint up to 50 Birmingham Fellows to enhance the University’s existing academic strengths and to contribute to a growing culture of collaboration.
