On 17 October, we will host a free webinar on 'Decarbonising the construction industry: data quality in the value chain'. Drawing on our extensive experience with construction and infrastructure clients, the webinar will delve into: 👷 The relationship between construction companies and materials manufacturers and the roles both can play in improving value chain data quality. 📊 Solutions to improving data quality and driving decarbonisation. 🎯 Opportunities available to organisations on their Net Zero journey.

Engineering and Construction sites ought to incorporate ways of reducing carbon emissions. Literature states that about 11% of GHG emissions come from construction sites in their preliminary phases. #climatechangefight #Gogreen

We began the year with a clear objective: to help fulfil the increasing demand for greener approaches to construction and to establish standards for the transition to a more sustainable future. Six months ahead, we are proud to share our carbon-saving triumphs. It's been a collective effort, with each of us playing a crucial role in championing recycled materials and processes, using solar-powered generators for site operations, and, where possible, fueling heavy plant with HVO fuel. These initiatives have not only resulted in substantial carbon savings for us and our clients, but they have also made a significant positive impact on the environment, underscoring our commitment to sustainable construction.

The construction industry can be difficult to understand in terms of emissions. A shout out to Hall & Hart one of the leaders in the industry who have put the effort in to understand their baseline emissions, and are actively working to minimise the impact through design and technology. For unavoidable emissions offsetting into emission reduction projects. https://lnkd.in/g-xK8CxD

Exited to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Infrastructure LCA Online course from One Click LCA! Highlights: - An industry benchmark for calculating carbon emissions from construction activities for rail projects is 700 kgCO2e per £100,000. - One Click LCA supports Revit, Bentley iTwin, and CIVIL3D. - 92% of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can impact the infrastructure sector. - Construction is responsible for 40% of global carbon emissions, 50% of extracted materials, and 33% of water consumption, among other things. #sustainability #LCA #OneClickLCA #SDG #Carbon #Emissions #Infrastructure #materials #GreenBuilding #EcoFriendly #ClimateAction #CircularEconomy #GreenConstruction #NetZero #SustainableDevelopment #EnvironmentalImpact #LowCarbon #SustainableInfrastructure #EcoInnovation #BuildingSustainably

Reducing embodied carbon within a building’s structure is becoming far more important in the quest to decarbonise and minimise carbon emissions. Lynsey Laycock, an expert in our civils and structures team, unpacks 10 ways you can achieve this at concept stage.

Really interesting talk on Sustainable Earthworks last night organised by the ICE North East branch and the British Geotechnical Association given by Alan Phear from Arup and Niall Fraser from Blackwell Earthmoving Limited. Probably the first such event I’ve attended, certainly in person, since my early days of Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) membership and it was really encouraging to see how much of a focus there is on carbon reduction in earthworks as opposed to cost which was traditionally the predominant concern of clients. Also learned a few new things such as the value of topsoil, the greenwashing nature of HVO’s and the prospect of hydrogen and electric powered plant. Also interesting to see the prospect of increased automation and the efficiencies this can bring. Key take home though was how important it is to think about earthworks in the concept phase of a scheme and how this can have a significant impact on carbon reduction. #CivilEngineering #Sustainability #Eathworks Turner & Townsend

The Biden administration has recently pledged a substantial $2 billion investment towards materials that significantly reduce carbon emissions. This strategy focuses on the procurement of asphalt, concrete, glass, and steel, which are produced and disposed of with considerably lower greenhouse gas emissions than industry standards. This initiative capitalises on the extensive market influence of the US government, aiming to propel the industry towards cutting-edge innovations in low-carbon technology. The investment opportunity supports the growing market for low and zero-carbon materials, fostering their broader adoption across various construction projects. At Firstplanit, we’re leading the way in this transformative shift. With our thorough evaluation of thousands of low and zero-carbon materials, we harness this data to distinctly outline the benefits of these options. Our intuitive tools facilitate effortless comparisons of low-carbon materials against industry standards, using detailed data analysis and visualizations. These tailored reports are designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the holistic impacts of your projects, guiding you towards informed and sustainable decision-making.
