Reducing carbon emissions in underground infrastructure projects

How can carbon emissions from #UndergroundInfrastructure projects be reduced? Ian Whitehead, our decarbonizing tunnels lead in North America and member of the ASCE Infrastructure 2050 tunnel sub-committee, recently co-authored an article for the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure, where he shares: ➡️Three main contributors to carbon emissions ➡️How to establish a baseline for tunnel projects wanting to pursue the Envision credit CR1.1 ➡️Design considerations that result in lower carbon outcomes Read the full article: https://mottm.ac/47w8jfX

  • Two individuals wearing reflective safety vests and hard hats are standing in front of a large tunnel boring machine. The infographic includes a quote from Ian Whitehead, decarbonizing tunnels lead for North America at Mott MacDonald. The quote reads: There are a lot of opportunities to reduce embodied carbon on tunnel projects. From the number and size of tunnels, the type of tunnel lining and tunnel boring machine selection, to the construction means and methods. The first step is to start counting carbon.
