Innovation, sustainability, and collaboration intersect in the newly completed Northern Memorial Park Depot. Lucid is proud to have provided comprehensive engineering services—mechanical, electrical, hydraulics, fire protection, vertical transport, and sustainability & energy services—to support this landmark facility for The Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust (GMCT). Working alongside Building Engineering and Searle x Waldron Architecture, this project stands as a showcase of what is possible when expertise and shared vision align. The depot’s mass-timber structure, use of locally sourced recycled materials, and integration of renewable energy systems highlight GMCT’s commitment to reducing environmental impact. It’s an exemplar of functional and sustainable design, paving the way for innovative infrastructure in community-focused spaces. Thank you to Building Engineering for sharing this excellent video of the finished project. We’re thrilled to see the final result and the positive impact it will have on Melbourne's Northern Memorial Park. #Sustainability #Engineering #Innovation #Collaboration #LucidConsultingAustralia #SagesRoadDepot #CreatingABetterWorld

Exciting developments in the modular construction industry were shared at Modular Building Institutes #WOMEUROPE24 at a recent presentation by Michael Hough The evolution rather than revolution in this field is paving the way for innovative solutions to address global housing and affordability issues. Working closely with Tide and VISION MODULAR SYSTEMS UK LIMITED Michael highlighted remarkable projects, including a staggering 50-storey building in College Road and other significant developments across the UK. The presentation showcased the flexibility and efficiency of modular systems, which allow for varied designs while maintaining high standards of quality and safety. With a commitment to R&D and a focus on sustainability, Vision is continuously pushing the boundaries of modular construction. The results speak for themselves: shorter build times, reduced waste, and impressive architectural outcomes. As we look to the future, it’s clear that modular construction is not just a trend, but a vital part of the solution to creating affordable housing in urban areas. Let’s continue to champion these advancements in our industry and share all of the positive, good news stories!! #ModularConstruction #HousingSolutions #Innovation #Sustainability

The Central Business District (CBD) in the Village of Glen Ellyn is a historic downtown dearly loved by its residents. The CBD features an exciting mix of uses including commercial, civic, and residential and is served not only by automobiles, but by robust transit, bike, and pedestrian usage. Civiltech provided Design Engineering, Landscape Architecture, and extensive public engagement services on the Village’s CBD Streetscape and Utility Improvements project, creating a revitalized downtown with exciting and sustainable streetscape and landscape features. Prior to Design, Civiltech conducted a Phase I Environmental Study with extensive community collaboration. The Study looked at relieving congestion, improving safety, and providing better bike and pedestrian access. The pedestrian-focused design is forward-looking while preserving the CBD’s historic feel. The project was selected to receive a Special Achievement Award as part of the ACEC Illinois 2025 Engineering Excellence Awards. Also, the project received the APWA Suburban Branch Project of the Year for Transportation, $5 million to $25 million. Civiltech submitted the project for the ACEC award and the project’s Phase III consultant, BLA, Inc., submitted the project for the APWA Award.

🌍 Not Every Meeting Achieves the Initial Goal—But It Can Still Be Valuable 🏗️ This week, we met with a potential client whose vans, scaffolding, and cranes are a familiar sight across Scotland and the North of England. Having been involved in the construction of some of Manchester, Glasgow, and Leeds’ most iconic buildings, their work has helped shape the urban landscape for over 15 years. As their focus is on fitting and managing projects—using designs developed by external teams—they aren’t currently eligible for R&D relief or grants. However, through our discussions, we identified potential routes to complement their strategic inward investment. The client is now exploring the possibility of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) to bring in engineering talent and grow their in-house design capabilities, potentially unlocking new opportunities with funding support to reduce financial risk. 🚀 Sometimes, the meeting doesn’t go as planned, but it opens up new possibilities for long-term growth. #Construction #Architecture #BusinessGrowth #ArchitecturalInnovation #StrategicInvestment #KTP #Glasgow #Manchester #Leeds #Scotland #NorthOfEngland

The #architecturaldesign of this part of the #building draws the eye forward.

As the #Nebula project nears completion, it’s clear how vital high-quality visualisations played its part in the success—from design and planning stages through to marketing. Our team at Monolith Visuals is proud to have produced the architectural visualisations that have played a role in shaping the journey of this research and development scheme at Milton Park (Oxfordshire). As Fiona J. Cooper highlights, the progress of Nebula is significant, no thanks to the expertise of a great client Milton Park, architect SRA Architects Ltd, and Barnwood Limited, as part of the project team that also includes ASA Landscape Architects and Ridge and Partners LLP. During the construction phase, visualisations act as vital representations of the project. They allow key stakeholders and prospective tenants to understand its full potential and align their vision with what’s to come. Without this initial investment in visualisation, it would be much more challenging to market and promote such innovative developments, let alone secure interest and future tenants. The value of these visuals is felt across the board—whether it’s providing clarity during planning, showcasing design intent to partners, or giving agents and professionals like Fiona the tools they need to elevate the project further, even before the final touches are complete.
