#NAEPerspective: Currently, much of the Los Angeles River is a concrete channel, but there is growing recognition that the river could be so much more. In a new NAE Perspective, Mitul Luhar details how revitalizing the LA River is a prime example of a large-scale infrastructure project that requires #engineers to work alongside #nature and #society.

National | As part of the recent Level Crossing Removal work in VIC this type of design philosophy was applied, to identify innovative methods of value capture for the State. Where else could this work, or otherwise? #spaceoptimisation #landmanagement #hiddengems

New paper with Jean-Paul Addie now out in Urban Studies! Through a case study of the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission, we question how infrastructural #futures are understood and materialized by the region’s central planning stakeholders.

Exceptional work by MsC University of Plymouth, School of Engineering, Science & Technology student Adam Ford. His research showcases how our retrofit Bouldnor model Vertipools effectively mitigate wave overtopping on seawalls. Adam's poster secured the best project award at the university poster day, and his dissertation achieved a remarkable first! 🎉 In a world grappling with sea-level rise and coastal flooding, which pose ongoing threats to urban infrastructure, homes, and businesses, Adam's findings hold profound implications. At a time when budgets for large infrastructure projects are constrained, the significance of his work cannot be overstated. At Artecology, we are dedicated to the continuation of research & development of multifunctional, handcrafted retrofit solutions. Our ongoing efforts focus on optimising the multi-functionality of retrofit Vertipools for habitat creation, coastal protection, and addressing issues related to change resilience in coastal communities. #ClimateChange #SeaLevelRise #WaveOvertopping #CoastalFlooding #CivilEngineering #SeaDefense #Seawall #BNG #Habitat #GreeningTheGrey #IntegratedGreyGreenInfrastructure #ClimateResilience #CoastalResilience #StudentResearch #UniversityOfPlymouth #AwardWinning #Dissertation #FirstClass #InnovativeSolutions #SustainableInfrastructure #AdaptiveDesign

Well done

significance of surveying📌 Surveying is the cornerstone of progress and precision in diverse fields. From shaping infrastructure projects to ensuring fair land distribution, it plays a pivotal role in our world's development. Surveying's impact extends to environmental monitoring, disaster management, and resource optimization. As professionals in this dynamic field, we contribute to creating accurate maps, supporting construction endeavors, and fostering sustainable urban development. Surveying isn't just about measurements; it's about shaping a better, more organized, and sustainable future. Proud to be a part of this transformative industry. #Surveying #Infrastructure #PrecisionMapping"
