This year, we took steps to raise awareness for 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘆. We celebrated with socially conscious cakes from the amazing Luminary Bakery ( 👋 hi, fabulous cakes ), and even tried our hands at baking with the 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗵 𝗕𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗢𝗳𝗳 (turns out, we’re much better engineers than bakers!). We were inspired by the powerful voices of women in our industry, with special thanks to Yvonne Ainsworth from Taylor Woodrow and Katherine Evans, founder of as 𝗕𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘀. Their energy, passion, and insights were truly motivational. Beyond these activities (check out what we did here: https://lnkd.in/eWh7B89T), we know there is still much work to be done in prioritising equality, diversity, and inclusion. It is essential that we all strive for continuous improvement, ensuring that our values and teams truly reflect the communities we serve. We'd love to hear from you with details of your DEI initiatives! #INWED #WomenInEngineering #Equality #Diversity #Inclusion #Engineering #Construction #Innovation

During the visit, Patrick learned how to inspect the innovative temporary works strategy designed to support these walls, which includes buttress piles and plunge columns for stability and reduced congestion within the basement for the works to come. Our detailed Ground Movement Assessment has been crucial in refining this strategy, given the numerous sensitive assets surrounding the site. 👉 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 https://lnkd.in/gGS8NMQF) or contact Sarah Fu for more information on this project. ☀ 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗵?

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁: 𝟮 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗴𝗮𝗿 𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝗸𝘆𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻! We've reached an important milestone on the Trafalgar Way scheme, which sets a new benchmark with the largest Passivhaus PBSA project in Europe, for urbanest UK. The first primary plate girder beams were installed, which when completed will provide students with an amenity deck linking the two PBSA towers in spectacular style. Taking the the bold step of designing this bridge as a tie between the two towers in order to increase air-tightness for Passivhaus performance, we worked closely with the site team, developing an installation strategy that respected the design principle without impacting site programme. Kudos to a great client, design and construction team: urbanest UK RLB Rider Levett Bucknall JRL Group Ltd Midgard Ltd FMDC Ltd Apt Henriksen Studio MTT Limited Gerald Eve WSP For more information about our work on this project, read our case study https://lnkd.in/eahFHW6a or contact Charlie O'Reilly. #passivhaus #pbsa #structuralengineeringinnovation
