𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 #𝗔𝗨𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 We recently attended the Autodesk University Conference, gaining valuable insights into the future of AEC technology. Our Digital Platforms Lead, Adrian Worboys, representing Robert Bird Group alongside Adam Freer and Dr. Erezi Utiome, PMP from SMEC. Adrian, Adam and Erezi are all members of the SJ Group Digital Council, chaired by Paul Mullett. A discussion with Brandon LaCourciere (VP of Customer Success, ACC) highlighted plans for AI integration within key applications, CDE improvements, and optimised server response times. We also spoke with Mike Haley (SVP of Research at Autodesk) about industry trends as foundations for future innovation. Notably, Artificial Intelligence (AI) was a central theme, sparking key conversations on data ownership and associated risks for consideration. These insights will inform our strategy for digital platforms and shape our future-focused solutions. We intend to utilise this knowledge to augment the value we deliver to our clients and partners, thereby solidifying our leadership in engineering innovation and enhancing productivity throughout our projects. #AutodeskUniversity #EngineeringInnovation #RobertBirdGroup #AEC #EngineeringExcellence

𝗟𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Watch as our Civil Structures team help to manoeuvre a Grade II listed footbridge, built in 1914, up and out of Stroud railway station! Acting as the permanent and temporary works designer, we teamed up with John Sisk & Son Ltd and Network Rail for a delicate operation: carefully crane-lifting the footbridge’s main span into the adjacent car park, where it will be refurbished. The lift was successfully completed ahead of schedule during a weekend night closure, ensuring no disruption to passengers. We can’t wait to see the footbridge restored to its former glory. Big shout out to Thomas Baker, Zoe Alexaki, Phillip Brumby and Edward Jodrell! #RobertBirdGroup #EngineeringExcellence #Rail #CivilStructures

Congratulations to BMS HEAVY CRANES and CPB Contractors & John Holland Group Joint Venture of the Westgate Tunnel Project for winning the Lift of the Year, more than 20 tonne award!
