Very exciting to see how the mindset towards reusing materials and re-purposing buildings is fast changing in the construction industry and the role that testing and condition surveys provide in offering certainty and minimising risk VINCI Technology Centre UK Ltd

🌍✨ Exciting Day at the 2nd International Engineering Conference on Research and Innovation! Today, I had the privilege of attending this incredible conference and participating in a session on Water Structures, where experts shared their insights and breakthroughs. The day was packed with valuable experiences and practical knowledge, especially in the field of Concrete Technology. From innovative solutions to real-world applications, it was inspiring to see how cutting-edge research is shaping the future of construction and infrastructure. Looking forward to implementing these ideas and staying updated with the latest in engineering! 💡👷♂ #EngineeringConference #Innovation #ConcreteTechnology #WaterStructures #KnowledgeSharing

Let's talk mass timber! Not only a visually striking design trend, but a renewable resource supporting sustainable development and diverse uses. Structural engineers, Matthew Zobel, PE and Nicholas Peterson, PE, dove into the topic at the South Dakota Engineering Society (SDES) Conference. Explore how mass timber can be integrated into your next building project. #ISGEngineers #MassTimber #MassTimberMovement #Presentation #Innovation

We got the chance to talk Mass Timber at the SDES 63rd Annual Conference last week! We were able to talk about some of the new IBC 2024 code updates, Fire Design with Mass Timber, and some additional considerations to look out for when designing with Mass Timber. If you are curious how you can incorporate Mass Timber on a project, lets chat!

Last week, our Engineer and Sustainability Lead, Arij Mroue, had the pleasure of attending the Net Zero Carbon Breakfast Panel hosted by Envision. The discussion emphasised the critical importance of early collaboration and involvement from designers and contractors in order to drive carbon reduction - something that is also a fundamental part to our Impact//Duty strategy at Jensen Hunt. It was great to see the upfront cost of carbon reduction discussed so openly across the panel alongside ways in which this can be overcome - something that the industry is yet to address. Another parallel between our strategy and the points raised was the importance of building a culture of incremental change across the work we do - rather than waiting for an opportunity for perfection. It was also inspiring to see the critical role of carbon reduction within the substructure and superstructure package of a project, further strengthening the argument that structural engineers must led the change within the industry for lower carbon design! #netzero #carbonreduction #futureofconstruction #impact #sustainableconstruction #sustainabledesign #structuralengineering

I’m excited to announce the publication of my latest work, a book chapter entitled “Innovating the Built Environment: Pioneering Architecture and Civil Engineering”, by Nobel Sciences!

Today marks the final post in our Structural Engineering Explained series! We're wrapping up by exploring monitoring of existing buildings, a crucial aspect—especially for the historic and often delicate structures we love working on. It's been a pleasure sharing insights with you throughout the year, and we hope you've found these posts as interesting as we've enjoyed creating them. Thanks for following along! #StructuralEngineering #BuildingMonitoring #HistoricBuildings #StructuralEngineeringExplained

Interesting to hear the perspectives from David Leversha CEng MIStructE Mst(Cantab) MEng and John Whittaker CEng, MiMMM at the Material Source event yesterday evening, where the discussions centered around the critical role of materiality in achieving net zero 🌱 The session reinforced the critical role materials play throughout the life cycle of a building, from design to construction, operation, and eventual deconstruction. The majority of a building's environmental impact is determined during the design phase, therefore early collaboration between disciplines - architects, structural engineers, and building services is essential! Engaging early ensures we can optimize the form and massing of a building, laying the foundation for sustainable outcomes and minimizing carbon impact from the outset. 🌍 #NetZero #Sustainability #BuiltEnvironment
