NEWS: UK-first trial of low carbon, 3D-printed substation foundations.
We’re working with Hyperion Robotics and the University of Sheffield on a UK-first trial of 3D-printed technology for low-carbon substation foundations.
This innovation project aims to manufacture, install, and test 3D-printed concrete foundations that could significantly reduce waste, carbon emissions, and costs for consumers. If rolled out across National Grid substations this work could save up to 705 tons of concrete and 323 tons of CO2 over the next decade, equating to £1.7 million in consumer savings.

In Sheffield, we are lucky to have pioneering businesses like AEGIQ and the @sheffielduni Centre for Nanoscience and Technology working together on developing semiconductors.
I was pleased to join them in Parliament to hear how this important industrial field has developed and grown and how it provides significant highly skilled jobs.
I look forward to visiting them again in Sheffield to support them to develop their worker further
