On 17 November 2022, the penultimate COPIL of the CIRCLE project took place in Preston, hosted by partner UCLan.

As the project ends in March 2023, this was an opportunity to take stock of the final stages of the project.

We also had the opportunity to visit the English pilot site and to see its progress.

The last COPIL will take place in Norwich on 1 March 2023.

Since October 4th, 2022, ESITC Caen, lead partner of the CIRCLE project, became BUILDERS School of Civil Engineering.

Work on the Eurovéloroute V4 pilot site is progressing well!

As a reminder, within the framework of the CIRCLE project, 1.2 kilometres of the cycle track will be used to implement the method of draining concrete based on cast-in-place shellfish co-products.

This pilot site is supported by the Communauté d’Agglomération des 2 Baies en Montreuillois, a partner in the CIRCLE project.

From the 8th to 11th of August 2022, the ICAE conference (International Conference on Applied Energy) was held in Bochum, Germany.

The conference provided the opportunity for our CIRCLE project partners at UEA to highlight and present the work titled “Sustainable Business Models for Sustainable Concrete – The Triple Layered Proposition”.

The presented work is to be published as a conference paper submitted and accepted by ICAE 2022. Once published, It will be available in the Energy Proceedings journal.

On Tuesday 21th of June 2022, the CIRCLE project event took place in Conchil-Le-Temple (FR).

Organised by and at EQIOM, A CRH Company, this event was an opportunity to present and highlight the CIRCLE project to an audience of elected officials, community representatives and industrialists….

The program included a visit to the concrete plant of EQIOM, A CRH Company, with an explanation of the washing and crushing of the shells, followed by a visit to the pilot site of the Eurovéloroute V4 by CA2BM with a demonstration of the draining quality of CIRCLE concrete.

This day was a real moment of exchange between the partners of the CIRCLE project finally together and the visitors invited to the event.

Thank you to EQIOM, A CRH Company and CA2BM for the organisation and to everyone for your participation !
