Low Carbon Acoustic Barriers - Demonstrating Innovation in Railway Construction

该项目涉及编制一份可行性报告，概述通过与建造全球卓越铁路中心(GCRE)设施的团队合作，展示铁路建设声屏障设计创新的计划。该项目将演示使用再生塑料、纤维增强材料和吸收材料生产的低碳足迹纤维增强复合声屏障。可行性报告将详细说明将与GCRE牵头施工团队发展的工作关系将如何促进信息和成果的共享。它将展示这将如何导致铁路建设和基础设施管理的实际改进，并向全球观众展示创新和最佳实践。可行性报告中提出的计划将展示如何通过严格的设计、评估和演示，并通过与GCRE的合作，实现声屏障设计的创新。这些创新将导致降低整个生命周期的成本，降低碳足迹，提供更好的环境效益，提高弹性，并确保资源在铁路建设中的高效利用。

The project relates to the preparation of a feasibility report outlining plans to demonstrate innovation in acoustic barrier design for railway construction by working with teams building the Global Centre of Rail Excellence (GCRE) facility.The project will demonstrate the use of low carbon footprint fibre reinforced composite acoustic barriers produced using recycled plastics, fibre reinforcements and absorptive materials. It will also demonstrate innovative approaches to mitigate environmental impacts associated with railway infrastructure development.The feasibility report will detail how the working relationship that will be developed with the GCRE lead construction teams will enable sharing of information and results. It will show how this will lead to practical improvements in railway construction and infrastructure management, and demonstrations of innovation and best practice to a global audience.The plans presented in the feasibility report will demonstrate how, through rigorous design, evaluation and demonstration, and by working in partnership with the GCRE, innovations in acoustic barrier design will be delivered. These innovations will lead to a reduction in whole-life costs, lower carbon footprint, provide enhanced environmental benefits, increase resilience and ensure efficient use of resources in railway construction.
