Description:
The ARLI project offers funded
advice and technical support to eligible SMEs within the Greater Birmingham
and Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership (GBSLEP) area, on developing
innovative low-carbon products and processes.
ARLI
brings together a team of experienced academics and engineers to support
businesses in developing cost-effective products and processes, which provide
energy-efficiency gains in the use of raw and waste materials. The project, aims to identify waste streams, or
other materials that could be transformed into higher value goods for
construction and other manufacturing industry applications.
The ARLI areas of expertise are:
- Reducing raw material use
- Material substitution &
waste reduction
- Reuse of waste streams
- Geotechnical engineering
including buried infrastructure
- Infrastructure monitoring
and assessment
- Erosion detection and
monitoring
- Design for disassembly
- Sustainability in the supply
chain
Resulting in:
- Generation of new materials
from waste – spurring growth through the commercialisation of novel
products
- Address acute raw material
deficiencies which are crippling industrial supply chains.
- Aid efficiency and improve
environmental impact, with cost-effective solutions realised through
reduced carbon emissions
- Better infrastructure asset
management
- Preventative
maintenance
