An excellent example of the kind or work we do at AtkinsRéalis! Engineering and ensuring a sustainable environment, hand in hand

Great news that these homes are better than OPERATIONAL net zero. If you are interested I can help introduce you to construction products that would take your homes to Genuine embodied net zero . Operational net Zero ✅ Embodied net zero ✅ We can even introduce you to a soon to be launched solution that grows carbon credits … which could mean your houses pay for themselves in 13 yrs .

I was honored to join New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell, members of the Sewerage & Water Board of New Orleans (SWBNO), Veolia employees and other officials to celebrate the launch of the new Hubgrade center at the New Orleans East Bank Wastewater Treatment Plant today. For over 30 years, Veolia has been a proud partner to the City of New Orleans and the Sewerage and Water Board. Our enduring relationship, built on trust and a shared vision, has only been strengthened through our collaborative response to challenges, including devastating natural disasters. Throughout our partnership, we've consistently discussed how to transform this vital asset into a force for positive change. As part of our GreenUp strategy, we are consistently finding ways to accelerate the deployment of affordable, replicable solutions that depollute, decarbonize and regenerate our resources. A city like New Orleans, facing unique challenges like rising sea levels and #climatechange, is a prime example of how GreenUp can support a community to develop a high-performing, sustainable wastewater system. The Hubgrade center, the first of its kind in America, represents a significant step towards that goal. By leveraging real-time data and advanced analytics, we can optimize #wastewater treatment for greater efficiency, cost savings, #energy conservation and reduced emissions. This initiative will drive economic growth, enhance quality of life and help build a brighter future for generations to come.

Multiple projects within our #planetpassionate initiative, pushing towards our targets across the four focus areas: #carbon #energy #circularity and #water #kingspan

I'm looking forward to seeing the outcomes of this project and contributing to DCWW’s ambitious goals. The water industry is such an important part of the drive to reduce carbon emissions, and it's a major and exciting challenge to manage carbon while delivering the necessary benefits to people and the environment. In particular, gathering and managing data on existing and future assets is such a major undertaking and yet so critical to meeting carbon reduction goals. The more we can streamline and support that process as engineers, the more the whole industry will be able to move towards where we want to be. #Decarbonisation #DigitalInnovation #CarbonReduction

At a time when pressure is growing for more treatment with greater resilience to major uncertain externalities such as climate change, our investment needs to be more nuanced to deliver much wider benefits; not least, lower carbon, greater flexibility and virtually no wastes such as sludge or media. Nature-based approaches are not new - they are just finding their moment as we accept that the trade-off of more land is not so much of a trade off when they can also be cheaper, and in this case much less land than a Reed Bed. Some approaches such as AERO-FAC® are not even a trade off on performance. We also need to reimagine how they are used - as side stream for pass forward issues or even taking off entire network flows at CSOs to address not only the discharge but also restoring greater capacity downstream. AERO-FAC® is a great example of a technology that lands in the sweet spot of certainty over efficacy, flexibility and resilience, cost and ease of permitting - yet there only a handful in existence in the UK. Are we serious about a transition in the water industry? If so why aren't we using this approach more? Discuss!

Learn how together Xylem & City of South Bend cut sewer overflows, saved costs and delivered on environmental targets 💚💧👍🏻 The results of our partnership with the city have been transformative, read more @ https://lnkd.in/et9__Ts6 🤝🏻 🦾 By leveraging digital technologies like smart sensors, we were able to tell continuously how to best manage each sewer’s capacity. 💰From a pure numbers perspective, the city spent $400 million less than originally expected. For South Bend, with a population of just over 100,000, if they hadn’t optimised their system by working with Xylem, the original cost estimate would have equated to about $10,000 per citizen. That's just the finances but there have also been additional benefits for the community. 🏞️ The city have been able to protect and enhance their flagship parks as well as improve the community aesthetics with green infrastructure thanks to the sewer sensor data that has helped inform the city where best to install new features. 💚 #AMP8 #EnvironmentAct2021 #CSOs #SpillsReduction #SmartSewers #RiversRevived #GetRiverPositive

Here's a preview of a slide for the presentation on Virginia Clean Cities webinar 'Idle Reduction Strategies' for you, tomorrow, Thursday, June 20, 3:00pm ET. The presentation is a collection of perspective from some of the leading fleet management subject matter experts on the topic of idle management in the U.S. The foundational lesson? It sounds obvious: if the funders of your idle reduction strategy aren't enthusiastic or on board, your strategy will likely get zero MPG and go nowhere.  Hope you can join us on Thursday at 3:00pm ET. And if not, register and get the recording at https://lnkd.in/gSKawjak *** Sharing the skills and perspective of 20 years of sustainability communications. #Sustainability #SustainableDevelopment #ClimateChange #RenewableEnergy #GreenEnergy #CircularEconomy #CorporateSocialResponsibility #CSR #ESG #SustainableLiving #EcoFriendly #SustainableBusiness #GreenBusiness #NetZero #CarbonFootprint #SustainableFinance #CleanEnergy #EnvironmentalImpact #SustainableInnovation #GreenTech SwitchPACE CIC North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality City of Raleigh Municipal Government NC Clean Energy Technology Center North Carolina State University State of NC DOT & Triangle Clean Cities Coalition Centralina Clean Fuels Coalition NAFA Fleet Management Association Land of Sky Clean Vehicles Coalition Geotab

Relationship Mangement is crucial.

Decarbonization plans and roadmaps should be adaptable with event triggers in place to bring forward change at opportune times: "One of the worst things we can see happen is an emergency equipment failure with no plan in place. The equipment gets replaced like-for-like with its fossil fuel equivalent and then you're in the same position for another 15-20 years. Planning for it now means you're ready when goals come around and you're ready for unplanned events." #sustainabledevelopment #sustainableinfrastructure #sustainablebuildings
