CIRCLE, a poured in-place shell concrete with draining properties

Climate change and the increasing urbanisation of European cities make the management of rainwater and run-off water a major challenge for urban planners, such as: the environmental risks of localised flooding, personal insecurity due to flood damage and the considerable pollution of the natural environment. 

In the face of this threat, the drainage of road structures is one of the solutions. However, it also contributes to the depletion of natural resources (aggregates).

This project aims to develop a solution to limit the environmental impact while recycling waste.

The partners

This project was made possible thanks to the financial support of the Interreg VA France (Channel) England to the tune of 2.5M(E) for a total budget of approximately 3.7M(E) (69% co-financing).
