SLIDE 2 Profit Through Productivity 2016 - 2017 OPPORTUNITY The Scottish Government’s current productivity target is for Scotland to be at least equal to OECD top quartile competitors by 2017. Construction is slightly above the average of Scotland’s key industries. If our performance increased in line with this target, Construction GVA would grow by £2.6bn. PROJECT A range of awareness-raising PR and associated activity was delivered to generate interest and action within the industry around this issue and promote the support available to businesses. 16 engagement and development events were delivered throughout Scotland by the partners, around different productivity opportunities as Managing People for Growth; Leadership Development; Culture Development Waste Reduction; Manufacturing Optimisation and Efficiency. OUTCOMES

• 6 events
• 73 businesses engaged
• Trade and Broadsheet PR campaign

featuring 5 well known industry leaders describing their perspective; experiences and successes around improving productivity in their businesses.

• A useful platform for further development of

this initiative. SUPPORT Total Project Value £31,750 CSIC Contribution £N/A (in-kind) PROJECT DURATION October 2016 – March 2017 Innovation Support: Business & Process Innovation Sub Sector: Pan-Industry The KBriq OPPORTUNITY It is anticipated that all new homes in Scotland will be zero carbon by 2020. This, together with new UK house building targets

• f creating 200,000 homes by 2020, creates

both opportunities for more efficient waste management and the supply of building

• materials. 70% of building materials will

need to be recycled by 2025 and 0% to pass to landfill and with 120M tonnes annually produced in the UK, this will require innovation and circular economy thinking within the sector. PROJECT The project is to assess the feasibility and testing of a novel building material made from 90% recycled material from pilot production through to delivery of a demonstration structure with on-going monitoring. There is no equivalent product in the market with such credentials; highest recycled content and low energy required for production. The unique features of the construction unit will boost recycling and reduce carbon emissions in Scotland particularly initially as well as generating savings on energy costs and associated taxes. The building material has been tested and proved at laboratory scale and it is crucial that production is scaled-up and the material is tested in a real environment to validate its commercial viability and potential. OUTCOMES

• 2 New products
• 2 new processes
• A new service
• New business model
• £11m increased turnover for lead partner

and supply chain by year 5

• Creation of 20 high value jobs
• 5,355 tonnes of CO2eq per annum saved

SUPPORT Total Project Value - £45k CSIC Contribution - £20k PROJECT DURATION May 2017 - November 2017 Innovation Support: Service Innovation Sub Sector: Private Housebuilding Construction product search and comparison tool OPPORTUNITY Building product information is scattered across the Internet in an unstructured manner, it therefore takes around 20% of a project’s duration to find the right products which adds additional cost and inefficiency to a project. PROJECT This project aims to develop a data extraction technique for unstructured data that allows the lead partners product search & comparison site to both provide architects with a better digital solution to search, compare and specify products and to provide building product manufacturers with better exposure, higher quality sales leads and ultimately increased sales turnover. OUTCOMES

• 1 new product - a highly detailed

construction product search and comparison website which helps architects and construction professionals research the building products they specify.

• This will support construction product

manufacturers to independently transition their own technical construction product information into digital assets, and easily manage and use this within a digital construction industry.

• The availability of machine-readable,

structured product information is essential for modern, digital workflows within the construction industry, such as Building Information Modelling SUPPORT Total Project Value - £90k CSIC contribution - £20k The Datalab contribution - £20k PROJECT DURATION July 2017 – November 2017 Innovation Support: Process Innovation Sub Sector: Digitisation Wind turbine base reuse project OPPORTUNITY Approximately 3,000 onshore wind turbines are currently operating in Scotland. It is anticipated that the re-powering market for

• nshore wind will start to accelerate by 2020.

The reduction in subsidy for onshore wind will accelerate demand for re-powering and drive cost reduction to this process. This in turn will open new design, construction, engineering and manufacturing opportunities for redevelopment of end-of-life-cycle wind turbines, infrastructure and bases. PROJECT This project will identify the beneficial and detrimental effects that may arise if concrete wind turbine bases are removed,

• r conversely, are re-powered. Ecological,

hydrological, biogeochemical and security impacts will be considered. OUTCOMES

• ptions on Scotland’s major roads. At the

same time, Scotland has a major waste tyre

• challenge. This project seeks to investigate

the feasibility of a tyre-based noise barrier design which would reduce the volume of waste tyre stockpiles, which are present have a limited market in Scotland. PROJECT To carry out acoustic and non-acoustic testing

• f rubber crumb waste material that would

form the core material for a tyre environmental noise barrier in two forms. A gabion basket filled with 100% tyre derived rubber material (TDRM) and a stone-faced solution with an unbound TDRM core. OUTCOMES

• TDRM did have acoustic properties although

not of significant greater magnitude than more conventional acoustic barrier materials.

• Stone fronted gabion baskets were the

preferred option allowing a more structural robust solution and would be suitable for niche applications.

• Further research could determine whether

a bound tyre material would be a viable alternative to current plastic or timber solutions. SUPPORT Total Project value of £70,000 CSIC contribution - £21,215 PROJECT DURATION April 2015 - August 2015 Innovation Support: Product Innovation Sub Sector: Infrastructure The Emotional Gym OPPORTUNITY With an aging society, a political and societal preference for older people to live longer in their own homes, and pressure on NHS finances, opportunities exist for social housing providers to explore how they can adapt their existing building stock to help deliver this, improve their tenants wellbeing and enjoy higher quality care at a lower cost than specialist care. PROJECT The development and prototyping of a new mainstream preventative housing model that will re-design the currently disused drying areas (common within high rise buildings) into technology-equipped communal activity centres for older people (the “Emotional Gym”), to provide them with physical and mental stimulation in their own homes and communities.
