Aquaspira

We acquired AquaSpira as a brand new client in 2021 and they are just the sort of business that the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference are trying to promote as they make a significant contribution to carbon reduction in the field where they operate.

Our first assignment with the business was to produce a fast-moving video to explain their company at the 2021 Rail Live convention held in the UK:

 

Aquaspira is on course to deliver on ambitious targets to reduce embodied carbon by half, with its sights set on a zero-carbon product by the end of the decade.

A six-figure investment into R&D is already paying dividends with Aquaspira boasting its first drainage product using 20 per cent recycled material. Heavy investment has already been committed to a new research laboratory which is already up and running.

The company is a specialist manufacturer of large diameter drainage pipes working in close partnership with the University of Birmingham and the UKCRIC National Buried Infrastructure Facility, to develop a lower carbon smart pipe for sustainable large-scale buried infrastructure projects.

The research has the potential to make a significant step-change in helping the construction sector achieve Government de-carbonisation targets. It will explore the use of recycled materials for storm and drainage water pipes and the backfill required for their installation, as well as incorporating innovative sensing equipment for long-term asset monitoring.
