Project genesis
Context:
• No carbon calculator tool at European or International level for Deep
Foundation and Ground Improvement Works
EFFC and DFI Objectives:
• Provide all EFFC members with a Carbon calculator for Deep Foundation
and Ground Improvement Works, allowing for absolute calculation and
for comparisons
• The tool should be simple, open, though comprehensive,
methodologically sound and usable by all

Project genesis
Context:
• No carbon calculator tool at European or International level for Deep
Foundation and Ground Improvement Works
• Several National, European & International carbon standards and
databases do exist …
• Several carbon calculation tools have been developed by European
companies …

Phase 2 & dissemination
Preliminary information (March onwards)
• Presentations to Federations: FPS, SOFFONS, etc.
• Publications witing DFI / EFFC magazines, Seminars (ex.: The Hague)
Dedicated EFFC-DFI Website opening (April 2013)
• Calculator made available for download from a dedicated website
• Download process to include registration for later update
Dissemination within federations (from April 2013 onwards)
• Copies sent to each EFFC Member Federation and the DFI for distribution
• Each Federation and the DFI to publicise the calculator in their own area as
deemed necessary (press release to be prepared by EFFC-DFI)
• Coordination with leading bodies (of the carbon measurement
Training for Federations representatives (May 2013?- TBD)
General coordination of dissemination
