BIRMINGHAM SUSTAINABILITY FORUM & BEIC TOUR In February, we attended the Sustainability Forum at the Millennium Point Birmingham, hosted by Hill & Smith PLC. On day one, we covered many ESG topics along with strategies for sustainable practices within asset HQ. We also took part in some fantastic brainstorming sessions with other businesses within the group. It was great to see what each company has already put in place in terms of sustainability, as well as future plans for continued improvement. On day two, we went on an informative tour of the Birmingham Energy Innovation Centre (BEIC) & Tyseley Energy Park, and came away with a wealth of knowledge and ideas that we’re looking forward to implementing.

RADISSON BLU, GLASGOW | 2ND MARCH 2023 We had a fantastic time at the one-day Rail Scotland Conference in March, discussing our rail product range with exhibitors. We had several products to demonstrate on the day, including our FRP Rail Platform 3D models and FRP panel samples. On display we also had one of our BaFixTM Ballast Retention Systems, which has been specifically designed to reduce the levels of maintenance caused by the loss of the ballast shoulder over time. Attending events such as this put us at the heart of the rail infrastructure industry, and enable us to showcase our growing portfolio of innovative products.

WE SIT DOWN WITH VICTORIA MCTAVISH TO EMBRACE EQUITY In support of International Women’s Day, we sat down with our Senior Brand Designer & Project Coordinator Victoria McTavish to discuss her take on workplace equity. Although Victoria has come from the design industry, as part of her role at asset, she also gets involved in many different projects including recruitment, HR, employee wellbeing as well as health & safety. The industries Victoria has been a part of over the years have been predominantly male orientated, and ensuring that everyone (regardless of gender) is respected and treated equally has always been her main goal throughout her career. Victoria also commented on the increase she has experienced in the number of females entering the design and engineering sectors in recent years. She believes the key to diversification is educating the industry, employers and employees on the equity of an individual, in terms of ensuring that everybody has equal rights and is treated fairly.

CBS ARENA, COVENTRY | 8TH - 9TH MARCH 2023 Bridges 2023 was a great experience for all who attended the 2-day event. Being the design & supply consultants for such large structures, it was great to be able to show our customers actual parts that are used in infrastructure projects across the UK and beyond. Our new cross section of an FRP Bridge Girder was a big hit with attendees, as it showed a crucial component in the manufacture of FRP bridges. Our experienced sales team were also on hand to present our steel and concrete bridge solutions.

LONG MARSTON RAIL INNOVATION CENTRE | 21ST - 22ND JUNE 2023 The sun was shining for us at Rail Live this year, and we had a great time showcasing our innovative rail product range with exhibitors.

AIS SHORTLISTED FOR CARBON REDUCTION COMPETITION We are thrilled to announce that we have been shortlisted for the National Highways carbon reduction competition! The competition (in collaboration with Connected Places Catapult) aims at finding innovative solutions for net zero carbon maintenance and construction. THE PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED Transporting heavy loads continues to be an issue within the infrastructure market, along with limited maintenance access/monitoring of assets in the field over its design life. OUR SOLUTION The asset FRP Bridge Girder with embedded smart monitoring reduces full lifecycle costs as well as maintenance visits through access to real-time data. Through our collaboration with University of Southampton, we very much look forward to developing our innovative, sustainable asset FRP solution and carry out load testing. At asset, we focus strongly on carbon reduction and modern methods of construction. Partnering with National Highways allows us to further develop our asset FRP solutions and deliver on our ESG promises.
