Kate Jarritt, our Director and UK, India, Middle East, and Africa Lead of Strategy Consulting, was delighted to speak with Sir John Armitt on Tuesday at our 80 Charlotte Street auditorium, as part of a hybrid event organised by our Energy Early Careers team. As one of the UK’s most eminent civil engineers, Sir John shared invaluable insights on infrastructure, government policy, net zero opportunities, and the challenges of planning and judicial reviews. He also spoke about the formation of the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA) – a merger of the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) and the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) – which he has been instrumental in shaping. Reflecting on his diverse career, Sir John offered advice that resonates across industries: "Never say no. Because you never know what taking that opportunity you're being offered may open up that you can't see today." A huge thank you to Sir John and our Energy Early Careers team for making this event possible! #SustainableGrowth #NetZero #FutureofInfrastructure #ShapingABetterWorld

How do you create a business school that is both sustainable and tailored to the needs of staff and students? We are proud to have partnered with the University of Southampton to refurbish the former Lloyd’s Register Global Technology Centre into Building 175 - a modern, adaptable hub for Southampton Business School. Our multidisciplinary team reconfigured the internal layout and building systems to create flexible spaces that support both individual and group learning. Completed in early 2024, Building 175 has already welcomed its first cohort of students. A big thank you to the University of Southampton and our partners, Miltiadou Cook Mitzman architects LLP, for their collaboration on this project. Together, we’ve created a sustainable and innovative learning environment!

How resilient are our rail systems to the growing impacts of climate change? We conducted climate-proofing assessments for Deutsche Bahn on four cross-border railway projects linking Germany with Switzerland, Poland, the Netherlands, and Denmark. Our assessments examined the carbon footprint of each project, evaluated climate risks such as extreme heat, cold, flooding, and storms, and reviewed existing mitigation measures alongside potential improvements. The insights gained can help Deutsche Bahn and other rail infrastructure owners and operators understand how extreme weather events may affect their assets, and guide decisions on building and maintaining a more climate-resilient rail network.

Arup leads the way in the exploration of sustainable construction materials. The Tai Kok Tsui Pavilion, Hong Kong’s first laminated structural #bamboo project, is a stunning example of sustainable architecture and modern design intertwined with community spirit. Collaborating with the design team, we provided structural engineering services for this groundbreaking initiative, addressing various structural challenges while ensuring compliance with current building regulations set by the government. By utilising bamboo, a rapidly renewable resource, we underscore our commitment to a circular economy and environmental stewardship. Bamboo’s natural resilience and flexibility not only enhance sustainability but also contribute to the creation of an aesthetically pleasing and enduring structure that helps reduce our carbon footprint. By using bamboo, we save 75% embodied carbon if this pavilion is constructed by steel. Let’s celebrate this milestone together and explore the endless possibilities of sustainable living and innovative design!

As part of our commitment to becoming a net zero organisation, we set interim targets to reduce our absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions and our absolute Scope 3 emissions 30% by 2025 from a 2019 baseline. Our latest results show we have achieved an 86% reduction in our absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 29.5% reduction in our absolute Scope 3 emissions in 2024. Read about our journey to date and how we will get the rest of the way to being a science-based net zero organisation in our updated Net Zero Plan, published today. https://lnkd.in/daWzmtq6 #NetZero #WeAreArup

To mark the launch of the ETC’s latest report, Achieving Zero-Carbon Buildings: Electric, Efficient and Flexible, we are hosting a webinar, in partnership with Arup on Tuesday February 11th at 12:00 – 13:15 GMT. During this panel, you’ll hear global leaders in energy, engineering and policy discuss the cross-sector action needed to accelerate progress in decarbonising both new and existing global buildings. Our panellists will explore key questions: What is needed to tip the dial this decade on the electrification of building heating and uptake of low-cost insulation? How can electrified buildings be an asset within a clean energy system? How can we meet rising demand for cooling with efficient air conditioning and better building design? What is the opportunity to reduce the embodied carbon of new buildings through material decarbonisation and building better? Our lineup of speakers: Adair Turner (Chair, ETC) Greg Jackson (CEO, Octopus Energy) Dervilla Mitchell DBE (Director, Arup) Dr Stephen Richardson (Senior Impact Director, World Green Building Council) Roxana Slavcheva (Global Lead for Built Environment, World Resources Institute) Vincent Minier (VP Energy Transition Research, Schneider Electric Sustainability Research Institute) The ETC’s new report, due to publish on 4th February, draws a complete picture of the buildings sector’s emissions and energy use and describes how a combination of electric, efficient, and flexible solutions can decarbonise buildings, improve standards of living, and reduce energy bills if supported by ambitious policy.

Starting the year with progress for a healthier, safer, and more sustainable Peru! We're celebrating the official inauguration of three transformative projects by the Autoridad Nacional de Infraestructura (ANIN), designed and delivered to international standards with the support of the UK Delivery Team: Arup, Mace, and Gleeds. The Yungay Hospital, a modern and resilient facility built to withstand floods and earthquakes, is now providing state-of-the-art treatment for 50,000 people in a remote mountainous region. For many, this marks a dramatic improvement in access to quality healthcare, eliminating the need for long and arduous journeys to receive medical care. In Alto Piura, the San Miguel de El Faique health centre is bringing high-quality healthcare closer to home for 10,000 local residents with its modern infrastructure and improved services. In Trujillo, the Quebrada El León gully flood defence is already protecting 45,000 people living in vulnerable districts from flooding and mudslides. This large-scale infrastructure project includes a 19-kilometre canal to capture rainwater in the mountains, canal crossings, a retention pool, and a stepped ‘waterfall’ discharge leading to the sea. These measures are safeguarding communities and improving resilience to extreme weather events.
