Professor, Cornell Program in Infrastructure Policy Founding Director; Educating the next generation of global infrastructure leaders at both the undergraduate and graduate levels
On June 24, in my interview to Scripps News, I talked about the following issues: - The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) passed in 2021, despite its benefits, has not had the full impact we hoped for because of high inflation in the cost of construction materials. - The value of infrastructure is hard to overestimate, since it's a legacy that we inherit, improve or create, and then pass to the younger generation. - Both rural and urban communities must have infrastructure in good repair to allow for the economic prosperity of the country. https://lnkd.in/gdX4dUCb

Extreme weather is impacting the quality and performance of Victorian roads. Yet, road materials such as sand and hard rock to fix potholes and other defects are getting harder to obtain as this Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Stateline report highlights. Research and development of alternative materials comprising of constructions / demolition waste and recycled glass becomes even more important. University of Technology Sydney has taken the lead in this three-year, SmartCrete co-funded research project with QLD Department of Environment, Science and Innovation and Scenic Rim Regional Council to investigate the feasibility of using these recycled materials as sub-base of sealed roads and base of unsealed roads. Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/gWJkiEFt #researchcollaboration #demolitionwaste #recycledmaterials #roadsafety https://lnkd.in/gqSrtqgn

Good to speak to Jane Garvey and Fi Glover this afternoon of Times Radio about hot homes, how we'll make sure Labour's 1.5m new homes are fit for climate change, and how existing homes are upgraded: A few points: ✅ Great that we've got Part O Building Regs, but we'll need planners that have the knowledge and capacity to enforce ✅ Government funded retrofit programmes like SHDF need to include measures to combat heat as well as cold, like external shutters ✅ Anyone working in construction should have a basic knowledge of how heat and moisture move through buildings - this should be part of vocational qualifications and upskilling ✅ Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards for the private rented sector must consider overheating as well as protecting from the cold. Ashden National Retrofit Hub Rachel Brown

What municipal power options are available for resiliency when gaseous fuel is not readily available? Hear what Colby Public Power chose...
Colby Public Power: A solution that ensures resiliency, delivers savings, and is built to meet future needs. As population and power demand increased and their equipment aged, the leadership of the city’s municipal utility, Colby Public Power, began to look for replacements. By installing and running a new Cat C175 diesel generator set during Winter Storm Uri in 2021, Colby saved the city $1.7 million by generating its own power and avoiding soaring utility rates.
