Keltbray | HIPER® Pile Overview
We are the world’s inventors, innovators and practical problem solvers. With every passing day the challenges posed by climate change grow greater. It is on us to step up and figure out what we can do to help address the problem. Skinner, 2021 4
We are honoured to launch the HIPER® pile at the Institution of Civil Engineers, this product can actively contribute to decarbonising the UK construction market and tackle climate change head on. Now is the time for radical change and the UK is leading the way to meet net-zero carbon targets by setting the world’s most ambitious legislative targets to cut emissions by 78% by 2035, compared to 1990 levels (BEIS, 2021). 5
