The collapse of the Key Bridge in Baltimore following a ship strike is a stark reminder of the need to ensure these critical pieces of infrastructure are adequately protected. However, the challenge is far greater than just impact protection. More than a third of bridges in the United States require repair or complete replacement. Through traditional means this would cost over $160B, taking around 50 years. At Sidara, our innovators are pushing the boundaries in the way bridges are maintained. Experts from TYLin, Dar, and Para have collaborated to develop the very latest in bridge monitoring technology, dramatically decreasing the time needed to monitor, assess, and repair bridges. Digital twins and AI-powered sensors analyze the structure’s condition, alerting operators about faults before they arise. The platform can even simulate the likes of natural disasters, meaning they can be fortified before incidents occur. Through breakthrough technology, we can speed up maintenance, reduce congestion, and potentially save lives.

With the Olympic Games in Paris having just come to a thrilling conclusion, we’re reminded of the immense effort that goes into preparing a city for such an incredible, global event – and the long-lasting community impact it can have.  Now, with the Olympic torch heading to Los Angeles, the International Olympic Committee has made tackling the city’s growing problem of homelessness a condition of LA hosting the forthcoming games. At Sidara, we believe that innovation is about more than just technology and data, it’s about using new thinking to create a better home for all.  As part of LA’s A Bridge Home initiative, Perkins&Will’s Innovation Incubator team developed DOME – modular dwelling units designed to provide safety and hope for those in interim housing. Currently in use in South Los Angeles with 100 installations, they are a testament to the power of innovative design. With an estimated 75,000 of the city’s people affected by homelessness last year, these units offer additional comfort for those experiencing a challenging time in their lives.  We’re proud to support projects like DOME that uplift communities and drive lasting change.

August 1 marks a pivotal moment for our planet: Earth Overshoot Day. But what does this mean for us? Earth Overshoot Day represents the point when humanity’s demand for ecological resources surpasses what Earth can regenerate in a year, signaling that we are depleting natural resources faster than they can be replenished. At Sidara, we're committed to being part of the solution to create a more sustainable planet.  Driven by growing policy response and the acceleration of new technology, a fundamental transition is underway in the energy sector. Getting to net zero means decarbonizing where we get our energy from, as well as how it is distributed, stored, and used. From developing the first large-scale low-carbon hydrogen production hub in the UK (Penspen) to spearheading solar farms in West Africa (Dar & Penspen), we're making significant strides toward a healthier direction. With 37% of global emissions coming from the built environment according to the UN Environment Programme, the path to decarbonization is undoubtedly challenging. Earth Overshoot Day reminds us of our collective responsibility to #MoveTheDate.

The implementation of smart technology can revolutionize how we live and work, shaping a future more interconnected and efficient than ever before.      At our Sidara London headquarters, 150 Holborn, we are dedicated to fostering shared learning and innovation. This is brought to life not only by providing collaborative workspaces for our firms, but also by leveraging our building’s cutting-edge smart technology.      150 Holborn's smart technology learns from every person who walks through its doors, whether that be for an event we’re hosting, a building tour, or a normal day of work. A digital twin of the building utilizes sensors to measure energy usage and collect data about how people use each space. This allows continuous optimization of environmental performance over time and consistently ensures occupant comfort.      This “living lab” practice is the first time that intelligent building technology has been collected in such a way and for these purposes in the UK. Its scalable foundations also uphold our brand values by supporting collaboration, sustainability, productivity, and well-being.       150 Holborn is on track to achieve LEED Platinum certification with a target score of 86 credits. It was also certified under BREEAM New Construction 2014, and achieved a total design stage score of 89.9%, well above the “Outstanding” threshold of 85%. The building is projected to achieve 98% in BREEAM Post Construction Certification.      Learn more in-depth details about our HQ’s smart technology. ▶ https://lnkd.in/gJwQtrZM        Dar PARA Perkins&Will Currie & Brown Penspen Maffeis Engineering Introba Portland Design    #Sidara #SidaraCollaborative #HomeforHumanEndeavor #150Holborn #SmartTechnology #Innovation #Sustainability
