    • Carbonation in stabilised peat: an accelerated pilot study 

      Duggan, Alan R.; McCabe, Bryan A.; Clifford, Eoghan; Goggins, Jamie (ICE Institution of Civil Engineers, 2015)
      Due to stringent environmental regulations, embodied carbon estimates are being used increasingly to assess the environmental impact of major building and infrastructure projects, including their geotechnical components. ...

    • An embodied carbon and embodied energy appraisal of a section of Irish motorway constructed in peatlands 

      Duggan, Alan R.; McCabe, Bryan A.; Goggins, Jamie; Clifford, Eoghan (Elsevier, 2015-01-29)
      In addition to the customary drivers of cost and timely project delivery, embodied energy (EE) and embodied carbon (EC) have come to prominence in recent years as major design considerations in all aspects of large-scale ...

    • Evidence of stabilised peat as a net carbon sink 

      Duggan, Alan R.; McCabe, Bryan A.; Goggins, Jamie; Clifford, Eoghan (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019-01-09)
      Mass stabilization, a ground improvement solution used for construction in peatlands, involves mixing suitable dry binders into the peat, increasing strength and stiffness and reducing permeability. A previous pilot study ...

    • Factors affecting Embodied Carbon/Embodied Energy associated with ground improvements techniques for construction on peat 

      Duggan, Alan R.; McCabe, Bryan A.; Goggins, Jamie; Clifford, Eoghan (NUI Galway, 2012)
      In addition to the traditional drivers of cost and timely programme delivery, embodied energy (EE) and embodied carbon (EC) have emerged as major considerations in all aspects (including geotechnical) of large construction ...

    • Stabilisation for peat improvement: Extent of carbonation and environmental implications 

      Duggan, Alan R.; McCabe, Bryan A.; Goggins, Jamie; Clifford, Eoghan (Elsevier, 2020-06-13)
      The construction industry is a large contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. In recent years, the industry has begun to consider sustainability alongside technical merit, cost and programme when analysing construction ...

    • Use of carbon calculation tools for sustainable cycle network design 

      Manton, Richard; Duggan, Alan R.; Goggins, Jamie; McCabe, Bryan A.; Clifford, Eoghan (NUI Galway, 2012)
      In recent years European cycling has undergone a renaissance with various initiatives including the establishment of EuroVelo and the proposed European trans-border cycling infrastructure. Significant advances on this ...
