Calling all Civil Engineers! Dive into our latest case study from a recent webinar where we tackled a challenging project – providing a large underground detention system within contaminated soils at a rail terminal in Chicago.  #civilengineering #stormwatermanagement #construction

On Monday I attended the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE)'s 'Question Time Debate: Can the UK do major infrastructure projects anymore?'. Organised jointly with the Civil Engineers Club (CEC). Chaired by Gavin Pearson of the New Civil Engineer, the panel (John Pelton MBE, Svetlana João, Prof Jennifer Schooling, Mace's Mark Reynolds, David Prout, and Jan Bessell) provided great insights into #designmanagement, #riskmanagement, and #procurement strategies, as well as political foresight, that can improve the success of large projects such as #HS2. From a technical perspective, a key takeaway was the need to acquire and curate data more strategically, e.g improve the reliability of ground investigations and other surveys at planning stage to reduce risk to all parties.

Participating in this Question Time debate in Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) in London: Can the UK do major infrastructure projects anymore? The cancellation of the northern leg of HS2 in Oct 2023 dominated UK headlines and spotlighted weaknesses in the UK’s capability to plan and deliver major infrastructure projects. Questions have emerged on infrastructure planning, procurement and delivery, as well as the role of different stakeholders in this process. Lots of things to cover.

Thrilled to have participated as a member in the Communication Forum for Civil Engineers conference under the patronage of His Excellency the Minister of Public Works and Housing. The main objectives of the conference were to enhance communication among civil engineers, discuss the challenges they face, provide experiences that help improve the development of civil engineers, and engage in trade union activities and sector committees. #civil_engineer #civil_engineering_division #Jordan_Engineers_Association

Our expert, Keith Simpson shares key strategies for minimizing construction delays and boosting project efficiency. With 20+ years of experience, he highlights the power of thorough site civil due diligence, offering practical tips like utility profiling to prevent underground conflicts, early geotechnical assessments to uncover hidden challenges, and the importance of detailed construction documents to avoid errors and costly changes.
