A platform connecting real materials to assess and support informed decision making
Whereas the choice of materials can influence up to 60% of the cost and 85% of the road project carbon footprint, material sourcing for road construction was historically considered at the last stages of a project. The complexity and the deep ground knowledge necessary for sourcing evaluations result in standardized designs based on assumptions and with little consideration for the local material availability. ORIS brings a new approach to the entire ecosystem with a deep local materials knowledge for all geographies. ORIS is a material intelligence platform gathering materials information and knowledge accessible for the construction ecosystem. Using local resources based on circularity enable to reduce the use of natural resources in road construction by up to 80% and the carbon footprint by up to 50%. ORIS enables each player of the road industry to collaborate better: - authorities to plan more sustainable road programs, - engineers to control the carbon emission of their project, - funders to follow their green finance objectives and KPIs - contractors to leverage more circular economy and recycling contents and materials suppliers to participate actively. ORIS services are paving the way to sustainable road construction providing circular, low-carbon, resource - and competitive solutions.

ORIS by Holcim
Implemented by Aggregate Industries in Carlisle (United Kingdom) in 2021
Aggregate Industries, a building material company, collaborated with ORIS for the 6-km reconstruction of an existing carriageway in Cumbria county. This £8 m project for National Highways was identified as the first UK Carbon Neutral Scheme. The tool was able to generate multiple design options within the pavement standards and shortlisted 3 options that showed significant improvement in terms of carbon performance, costs, resources and durability compared to the initial design.
