Energy Generation Infrastructure

In the consortium project “Energy generation and infrastructure”, the CBI, together with Hochtief and Eurovia, will identify possibilities for regenerative energy generation in the area of road infrastructure. Based on this, suitable application scenarios (locations, consumers) will be developed for selected applications and examined with regard to a practicable application (load curves, grid savings, utilization). The goal is the development of economic application concepts. The project is scientifically supported by the Institute of Highway Engineering at RWTH Aachen University. In addition, the Institute for High Voltage Equipment and Grids, Digitalization and Energy Economics at RWTH Aachen University is supporting this promising project.

Sustainability assessment of transport infrastructure out of town

In the consortium project „Sustainability assessment of transport infrastructure out ouf town“ the CBI will work together with the DGNB, Hochtief, Echterhoff, Heitkamp and Nesseler to develop findings on the sustainability assessment of road construction infrastructure. These findings will later lead to holistic sustainability criteria that will be incorporated into a certification system for sustainable transport infrastructure. Scientific support for the project is being provided by the Institute of Sustainability in Civil Engineering und dem Institute of Highway Engineering of the RWTH Aachen University. In addition, the project is supported by Autobahn GmbH.

Conducting large-scale fire tests of prefabricated buildings under ETK conditions to prove room closure

In the consortium and research project “Conducting large-scale fire tests of prefabricated buildings under ETK conditions to prove room closure”, which is funded by the Ministry for regional identity, communities and localgovernment, building and gender equality of the land of North Rhine-Westphalia (MHKBD), the CBI will conduct the investigations together with the consortium partners, which are also providing part of the funding, ALHO, CMS, Kleusberg, ALGECO, Bolle, ELA Container, Moravia Containers, SÄBU, Zeppelin Rental, AMTRA and Cadolto. The investigations will be carried out by the Materialprüfungsamt Nordrhein-Westfalen (MPA NRW) and supported by BFT Cognos and the Institute of Steel Construction at RWTH Aachen University.

CO2 – reduction through congestion avoidance

In the consortium project “CO2 – Reduction through Congestion Avoidance”, the CBI together with Echterhoff and Zeppelin Rental will determine CO2 saving potentials using real measures as examples. First of all, traffic effects will be determined and converted into CO2 emissions. The project is scientifically accompanied by the Institute of Highway Engineering
at RWTH Aachen University. In addition, the Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt) is supporting this promising project.

Clinker-Reduced Binders

In the consortium project “Clinker-reduced binders”, the CBI, together with Filigran, Nesseler and Solidian, is identifying a combination of binders that lead to the greatest possible CO2 savings and can be used for different applications. Scientific support for the project is provided by the Institute of Structural Concrete at RWTH Aachen University.
