Coming at you with another great project update! Our team at the Quinsam Island Industrial Park have been working on a #Remediation project we've undertaken for Emterra. Here are some key highlights:   ✅ Scope of Work: Our dedicated team has been actively involved in the excavation, disposal, and relocation of soils that were placed during Emterra’s tenure on the lease site.  ✅ Quantity Update: Initially, we estimated around 3100m³ for off-site disposal and replacement with clean fill. However, due to the meticulous nature of our work and unforeseen conditions, we're now anticipating closer to 4500-5000 tons.  ✅ Future Vision: Post-completion, this site is earmarked to become the new Way Key office and yard complex, further strengthening our commitment to community development.  ✅ Timeline: Our project kicked off on September 11, 2023, and we're on track to wrap up by the end of November.    🤝 Community Involvement: We're incredibly proud to highlight that a quarter of our project workforce comprises of First Nations members. At Way Key LP, we believe in the power of community and are committed to inclusive growth.   Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to pave the way for a cleaner and more sustainable future! #siteremediation #firtnationbusiness #firstnationpartneship #communityled #sustainability

Combining nature with urban development is key for the future if we are to maintain biodiversity and preserve vital ecosystems. There are many examples of this worldwide but one that especially stood out to me was the "Bosco Verticale" located in Milan Italy. This beautiful piece of architecture stands tall containing 250 trees and 4,5000 shrubs which are embedded throughout the tower-block creating homes to many different species of wildlife and creating a greener city. I think this is not only a beautiful way of intertwining nature with our urban landscape but an innovative management strategy in combatting our current environmental management issues. I am hopeful that more urban areas undertake this idea and soon enough it will no longer be seen as an unusual display but a common one.

When Lightrock Power’s Paytherden #solar farm in Devon is operational it will be capable of powering up to 15,000 homes. Great news for the UK's push towards clean #energy. But good infrastructure design today means seeing a much bigger picture, and when it comes to solar this includes making the most of opportunities to deliver widespread ecological and social benefits. What makes Paytherden special is that for the first time a solar farm is being developed in partnership with the RSPB, with the #wildlife charity citing the project as an exemplar model for the solar industry when designing for #biodiversity at scale. So, the project will support under-threat local species. Barn owls will be encouraged to nest on site; and holts and habitat established for otters. The banks of the neighbouring River Clyst will be improved for wildlife including water voles; and existing ecological corridors for reptiles, amphibians and small mammals enhanced. An extensive landscape strategy includes new wildflower meadows, more than 600m of new hedgerows, plus woodland and orchard planting. Overall, this will result in a biodiversity net gain of 22%, significant for an organic site. Pioneering work by Lightrock Power, the RSPB, LDA Design and BSG Ecology. Well done to all, including LDA's Ed Salter Paul Connelly and Ruth Knight.

*Green HaVEN Project: Empowering Indigenous Communities* From September 4th to 7th, 2023, I had the privilege of joining a dedicated team of engineers from Taylor's University in a transformative initiative known as the Green HaVEN Project, located in Pahang. Our mission was clear: to make a positive impact on the lives of indigenous people in a village near Muadzam Shah. Challenges Faced: 1. The solar-powered water pump continuously flooded the area when the tank reached capacity. 2. The roof water collection system faced frequent clogging issues due to leaves and debris. 3. Children in the village lacked a suitable environment for studying. Innovative Solutions: 1. We automated the water pumping process, ensuring water levels were efficiently managed. 2. By installing gutters and implementing straightforward filtering systems, we resolved the clogging problem. 3. We constructed a dedicated study area powered by solar energy, providing children with a conducive learning space. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Prof. Madya. Ts. Dr. Chockalingam Aravind Vaithilingam for the opportunity to be part of this transformative project, Ms. Litness for her exceptional organizational skills, and the invaluable guidance provided by PhD students Kameswara Satya Prakash and Ramsundar throughout this endeavor. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of those in need, embodying the spirit of positive change and community empowerment. #GreenHaVENProject #CommunityEmpowerment #Sustainability #MakingADifference

Changing how we live with nature Wild places, such as savannas and forests, are a form of natural security for both the wildlife and human beings that call them home. Wild places drive the Earth’s systems of regeneration. They keep life safer from pandemics and allow for the process of adaptation and evolution of life on Earth to continue. Our work and grant-making will focus on the connectivity between people and their wild places. We will support the rich biodiversity of “living landscapes” Living landscapes is the term we use to describe a conservation approach that supports productive, resilient rural networks of people who are able to deter over-exploitation, while safeguarding wildlife and wild places. Our work in living landscapes also considers nature’s borders, such as river basins, and supports symbiotic relationships whereby community development, employment, and livelihoods can be provided while biodiversity can also thrive.

🌱 Reflecting on World Mangrove Day 🌱 Yesterday marked a special occasion as we celebrated #WorldMangroveDay, a day dedicated to raising awareness about the invaluable contributions of mangroves to our planet. For me, this day held personal significance as it brought back memories of my undergraduate thesis research focused on the mesmerizing landscapes of Sundarbans and the impact of mangroves on the people living there. What started as an academic pursuit soon turned into a profound introspection of my own career goals. As I delved into the ecological, cultural, and socioeconomic aspects of this unique region, I couldn't help but realize the immense potential to merge my passion for the built environment with the larger mission of sustainable development. The Sundarbans, with its lush mangrove forests and vibrant communities, taught me valuable lessons about the delicate balance between human progress and environmental preservation. It became evident that our future lies in creating innovative and sustainable solutions that benefit both people and nature. My journey through this research has ignited a strong desire to make a positive impact on the world. I am now more determined than ever to channel my expertise in the built environment towards projects that contribute to environmental conservation, empower local communities, and address pressing global challenges. Together, let's make a difference and create a sustainable world that future generations can thrive in. 🌏💚 #MangroveConservation #SustainableDevelopment #Sundarbans #EnvironmentalImpact #CommunityEmpowerment #WorldMangroveDay #PassionForChange

Creating and sustaining a positive relationship with our surrounding communities is of paramount importance to our team at Renishaw Coastal Precinct. In addition to our ongoing efforts aimed at uplifting the surrounding community, the development of Renishaw Coastal Precinct will reignite the local economy across several key sectors. One of these sectors is job creation, with significant employment opportunities poised to emerge within the skilled and unskilled labour market as security villages, office parks, retail developments and more take shape on the 2.6 million m2 of land set aside. Even in our current early stages, we’re proud to share that our upskilling efforts have already resulted in some impressive success stories, with three local community members working their way up within the precinct.
