MPBA Member Industry Case Study 💡 Check out the video from McAvoy on their pioneering ‘Low Carbon Pathfinder’ project, minimising #energy usage by implementing the ‘Be Lean, Be Clean, Be Green’ energy hierarchy which focuses on reducing the demand for energy at source through passive measures before considering #efficient systems and #renewable #technology The adoption of an #offsite solution provided a number of important #benefits, not least of which was the ability to deliver a high-quality, low #carbon #school within a much shorter time frame than would have been the case if traditional #construction had been chosen. Speed of delivery was crucial as the #school had been operating in temporary accommodation on a neighbouring site, since it opened in 2018 Furthermore, with much of the #manufacturing taking place #offsite, there was significantly less site #traffic movements and disruption which was a significant advantage as the site was in a #residential area and the #school was fully operational during #construction

From the results of the dynamic analysis carried out using #OasysGSA on a pedestrian footbridge in Bad Hersfeld, Germany, schlaich bergermann partner sbp agreed with the client to provide two accessible and lockable reservations in the bridge deck. This would allow for tuned mass dampers to be installed after a joint evaluation of the constructed bridge. The use of #GSA on this project provided the engineers with confidence in the bridge design as they were able to predict the dynamic behaviour of the bridge very accurately and discuss the comfort behaviour with the client.

RESULTS OF OFSTED ARE IN

Shout out to New Mexico Department of Transportation, Idaho Transportation Department, Montana Department of Transportation, and WYOMING DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION on their recent “Tracking to Zero ” awards. BNSF Railway announced it is honoring the four state Departments of Transportation for their dedication to improving grade crossing safety. These awards are for averaging less than one grade crossing incident per one million BNSF train miles traveled in their respective states. Examples of actions taken by the winning state DOTs to improve railroad crossing safety include, but are not limited to: - Installing grade-crossing separations; - Enhancing signal systems at existing crossings; - Researching and piloting new crossing safety technologies; - Utilizing both state and federal funding to maximize railroad crossing safety improvements; - Prioritizing community education and utilizing land use planning and awareness campaigns; - Implementing various measures to reduce railroad trespassing. GoRail works closely with the railroad industry to promote public safety at road-rail intersections through supporting and educating on grants like the Grade Crossing Elimination Program (RCE), CRISI, RAISE, INFRA, and more. We look forward to doing what we can to put even more state's on this list in 2025! https://lnkd.in/geEgMXDt
