In the realm of #WhatDoesItTake Engineering, split into expertise, courage, curiosity, collaboration, client focus, and community engagement stand as pillars of my success in my career and Aurecon. #WhatDoesItTake Expertise: working on the coal face in rail and understanding the various facets of the rail industry, expanding from asset management, systems engineering and operations. #WhatDoesItTake Courage: Living in regional Australia and leading maintenance operations for rollingstock to spearheading asset management initiatives across complex challenges and creating innovative solutions. #WhatDoesItTake Curiosity: from being developed as a young girl in pulling apart the family computer to showcasing my commitment to leveraging digital and GenAI innovations to enhance rail network efficiency and maintenance predictability. #WhatDoesItTake Collaboration: fostering a culture of collaboration to achieve project objectives effectively. #WhatDoesItTake Client Focus: delivering tailored solutions that align with client goals and industry standards. #WhatDoesItTake Community Engagement: From volunteering as part of CSIRO STEM Professionals in Schools Program to working on generation defining projects like the Suburban Rail Loop, its about improving the outcome for the community. In summary, my journey in #WhatDoesItTake engineering exemplifies the importance of expertise, courage, curiosity, collaboration, client focus, and community engagement in driving innovation and excellence within the industry. My contributions have not only shaped the projects that I've been involved in but have also left a lasting impact on the communities that I serve as part of Aurecon. #WhatDoesItTake #Aurecon #BringingIdeasToLife #RailEngineering #AssetManagement #SystemsEngineering #OperationsManagement #DigitalInnovation #ProjectLeadership #ClientFocus #CommunityEngagement #DiversityInSTEM #EngineeringExcellence #LeadershipDevelopment #InfrastructureProjects #CollaborativeTeamwork #ContinuousImprovement #Sustainability

South Wales is developing into one of the most interesting and creative places in the UK and Europe to be undertaking innovation to support the path to net zero. Just recently Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council announced exciting progress with the SWITCH Harbourside development. In partnership with Swansea University, SWITCH - the South Wales Industrial Transition from Carbon Hub - will be located close to Tata Steel’s Port Talbot plant and will be a high quality research facility for decarbonising the metals and steel industry. Just up the road, the Global Centre Of Rail Excellence is developing as a site for world class research, testing and innovation for rolling stock, infrastructure and cutting edge new technologies that will support the rail and transport sector's transition to net zero. Its great to see the innovation landscape in South Wales growing and to see these fantastic hubs of expertise and capacity developing. The opportunities for research and innovation cooperation are signifcant. https://lnkd.in/eBmMqQwe #NetZero #Innovation #GCRE #SWITCH

PORTS AND HARBORS: Onboard #carboncapture adoption is barred by low port readiness, Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) reports In collaboration with Lloyd's Register (LR) and Arup, the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) has released a report that has identified low port readiness as a major hurdle bottlenecking the adoption of onboard carbon capture and storage (#OCCS) systems as a practicable #decarbonization solution. Prof. Lynn Loo, CEO of GCMD, said, “While pilots have successfully demonstrated numerous capture technologies on board ships, it is still uncertain how captured carbon on #merchantships can be safely offloaded, and what the rest of the value chain looks like. This study sheds light on these challenges and highlights recommendations to holistically address these concerns for parties interested in advancing OCCS/ LCO2 offloading concepts.” Nicholas Brown, CEO of LR, said, "The #maritime industry requires a comprehensive understanding of the safety and operational challenges posed by all #emission-reduction technologies. This study, which focused on port readiness and considerations for the safe handling and offloading of LCO2, addresses some of the gaps that exist in the #carboncapture value chain and will support industry stakeholders in making informed investment decisions around carbon capture solutions and the creation of regulatory and operational guidelines." Robert Cooke, design lead of Arup, said, “As a result of the study, it has been promising to see how transferable existing CO2 industrial knowledge is to an offloading application.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eu5j75hq #Marine #Maritime #Electrification #Decarbonization #Sustainability #Environment #Technology #Transportation #EHMExpo #EHMXNA

How does your utility or facility achieve Sustainable Development Goals? As an urgent call to action for all countries, all industries and all organizations, these goals push us to think beyond monetary gain and what's convenient. How can we address problems and impact change for a better future? #ASTERRA technology fulfills several of the goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015. By adopting ours and other innovative solutions into your facility's standards, your role in this positive agenda grows exponentially. ASTERRA and our growing community of partners and innovators aren't going to stop at just 3 of these goals. What impact can you help us make next? Read more about ASTERRA's work on #SDG6, #SDG9, and #SDG13, and STAY TUNED for the a new goal we will announce soon! 👉 https://lnkd.in/gK8SY5BS #IntelligenceToAct #SustainableDevelopmentGoals #Recover #MasterPlan #EarthWorks #Wastewater #SatelliteTechnology #Infrastructure #LeakDetection

"With infrastructure responsible for 79% of total greenhouse gas emissions and 88% of all adaptation costs [according to UNOPS], the world needs rapid and unprecedented transformation to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs) and future-proof infrastructure," writes Bentley's Rodrigo Fernandes. In order to decarbonize, engineers first need to understand a project’s potential and realized upfront embodied carbon. Bentleys recently released embodied carbon assessment capabilities in #iTwin Experience helps with that first step by automating workflows, repetitive tasks, and calculations.

Honoured to have been invited back to Network Rail, as part of their Earth Month Series 🌍, to present key insights from Holgate Depot’s Solar Project to the Green Network🌳. Project Managers rarely get the opportunity to revisit projects after completion and share the valuable successes and lessons learned. It was great to have so much engagement from the 20+ sustainability professionals regarding the installation of over 1,000 panels across Network Rail’s largest depot, all without disrupting operations! By openly sharing such lessons and promoting best practice, we will bring significant tangible benefits to ongoing and future decarbonisation projects. This transparency empowers Network Rail to achieve their ambitious decarbonisation commitments. In the words of Albert Einstein, “The only mistake in life is the lesson not learned.” Let's continue to learn from each other and make progress towards a more sustainable future! #Decarbonisation #Sustainability #Environment #Solar #Infrastructure #Construction #ProjectManagement

Worth a read. The core baseline of the Live Lab programme.

With India’s economic growth strongly linked to #infrastructure projects, a #sustainabilityratings mechanism for these can help create the right balance between the nation’s economic, environmental and social goals. We thank The Infravision Foundation for collaborating with Envint to develop a sustainability ratings framework for infrastructure projects. The proposed mechanism adds to the existing regulations and embeds #environmental, #social & #governance (#esg) considerations in the project lifecycle. It outlines a governance mechanism including rating ownership and accreditation, applicability and adoption of ratings.

Infra projects are key to India's economic growth. This could lead to direct conflict in the achievement of India's social and environmental goals, unless a sustainable infrastructure development model is adopted for projects. Happy to share the summary of our work done on sustainability ratings for infra projects in India...Many thanks to The Infravision Foundation for collaborating with Envint on the same... Please read this piece by Nitin Zamre...More details to follow! #sustainabilityratings #infrastructureprojects #TheEnvintWay
