AIC - American Institute of Constructors’ Post

Engineers Australia Webinar on Construction noise for major infrastructure projects   Presented by speakers Mattia Tabacchi, Tracy Gowen and Adrian Morris and hosted by Peter Karantonis, this webinar looks at construction noise modelling, design and impact management on some of Australia’s largest infrastructure projects.   Noise modelling of complex construction activity needs to take into consideration the model uncertainty, input selection and sensitivity analysis, noise propagation standards, and detailed review of outcomes. Design considerations include physical mitigation measures such as acoustic sheds, noise barriers, temporary noise barriers or enclosures, and ventilation mitigation. Planning and management measures for short-term night-time works are also described in the webinar. If you missed it, you could watch the webinar on EA OnDemand and collect your CPD points. https://lnkd.in/gD37cR6F or https://lnkd.in/gvJsyJtx

🎤 Listen: Engineering Matters Award Winners' Episode 🎤 We can only efficiently reduce those things that we can measure. The Whole Life Carbon Assessment standard, produced by the @Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), established a method for assessing the carbon impact of buildings. Its updated version, which came into effect in July, expanded its scope to include infrastructure, and was designed to be used around the world, not just in the UK. For this comprehensive and global impact on carbon reduction efforts, the Institution was named Net Zero Gold Champion in the Engineering Matters Awards. In this episode, we learn why the standard was revised, and how it has been developed for wider use around the world. The standard allows architects, engineers, and construction professionals to evaluate and reduce the climate impact of their work. And it provides a way to compete effectively to meet clients’ Net Zero goals. Thanks to Simon Sturgis, lead author, Whole Life Carbon Assessment, 2nd edition;  founder, Targeting Zero LLP, Mark Rogers, Head of Net Zero Carbon, Cost Management, Turner & Townsend, Amit Patel, Head of Professional Practice in Construction, Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and Sarah Perring, policy and strategy lead, Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom for Transport #NetZero #construction #architecture #engineering #carbon #carbon #assessment https://lnkd.in/eTSYUt4W
