Cap Digital invites you to their event

Closing the Loop in Construction: Advancing Soil Remediation, Modular Design and Digital Traceability for a Circular Future

About this event

Circ-Boost presents Pilot 1 in Barcelona, which aims to demonstrate innovative circular solutions across different stages of the construction process, from soil remediation and material recovery to design for deconstruction and digital traceability of building components.

The pilot brings together complementary solutions to close material loops in construction. These include the treatment of contaminated soil to enable the production of new construction materials, the development of a modular concrete panel system incorporating recycled aggregates and designed for future deconstruction (DfD), and the use of embedded RFID technology to ensure the traceability of precast concrete elements throughout their life cycle.

The webinar will present the solutions developed and tested by the Pilot 1 team, bringing together expertise from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Control Demeter, TESIS srl, ACCIONA Construcción and Smart Engineering.
