Construction also high speed🚅

https://lnkd.in/gS-G2dcE Costs to rectify RAAC hospitals are rapidly rising. "BCIS estimates that removing a RAAC-affected roof from a 10,000 sq m four-storey hospital and replacing it with a new metal roof is between £1.75m and £2m. Refurbishment of the rooms below is estimated at around £700-£800 per sq m." It is clear that the financial cost of dealing with RAAC is vast, and it will only increase as more buildings come to light. Therefore, a proactive approach must be taken towards identifying and addressing RAAC-affected roofs early before they become too costly to remediate.

Favorite Federal Quotes: Resurfacing, Restoration and Rehabilitation Projects (RRR) "provide an opportunity to update roadways at little additional cost and are therefore a key strategy for improving safe access for all road users... FHWA encourages the incorporation of a complete streets design model in RRR procedures or design criteria that are applicable to urban and suburban nonfreeway arterials with posted speed limits less than 50 miles per hour (mph), or to rural arterials that serve as main streets in smaller communities." From: "Guidance memorandum: "Review of State Geometric Design Procedures or Design Criteria for RRR Projects on the NHS." https://lnkd.in/eVi_-h8D

Witness the Remarkable EPD Results with Amvic ICF. Amvic Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) are revolutionizing the construction industry by significantly reducing energy consumption, labour requirements, and the need for wet trades. Their environmental benefits, including enhanced building performance and longevity, ability to withstand higher loads, and superior insulation, make them an ideal choice for construction projects. Furthermore, the time-saving aspect of using Amvic ICFs ensures that projects are completed faster without compromising on quality. These high-performance building materials are suitable for a variety of construction projects, including nursing homes, creches, primary care centres, and buildings up to 6 stories high.

New from FHWA! The Safe System Roadway Design Hierarchy is a tool that characterizes engineering and infrastructure-based countermeasures and strategies relative to their alignment with the Safe System Approach (SSA), toward the goal of eliminating traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries. https://lnkd.in/exefhnkk #completestreets

In a proactive effort to enhance road safety and inclusivity in Pimpri-Chinchwad City, engineers from the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) recently engaged in a comprehensive workshop. Collaborating with the Global Designing Cities Initiative (GDCI) as part of the Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety (BIGRS), the PCMC organized this capacity-building event, attended by over 60 engineers from the Roads Department of PCMC. With the active involvement of senior police officials from Pimpri Chinchwad City Police, key PCMC representatives, and GDCI team members, the workshop aimed to sensitize engineers to the diverse needs of road users and introduce them to evidence-based solutions for safer, more accessible streets. PCMC's Municipal Commissioner, emphasized the importance of implementing internationally recognized urban mobility and street design principles to benefit the growing city's citizens. The primary goal of this training was to empower PCMC engineers with the knowledge and skills necessary to execute infrastructure projects that transform streets into public spaces accessible to all, prioritizing the safety of vulnerable road users like pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. Executive Engineer for Roads, Traffic & Transportation Planning at PCMC, highlighted the significance of the workshop in their ongoing efforts to improve road safety, expressing gratitude for the collaboration with BIGRS and GDCI. This initiative underscores PCMC's commitment to creating safer streets with a specific focus on safeguarding those who are most at risk. #saudaghar #saudagharscoop #RoadSafety #Inclusivity #PCMC #GlobalDesigningCitiesInitiative #BIGRS #PimpriChinchwadCity #InfrastructureDevelopment #UrbanMobility #CommunitySafety #TrafficEngineering

With an impressive 𝟳𝟲% 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁 in consumer perception of construction among those aware of iCIRT, it's clear that this tool is making a substantial impact. Stay tuned as we explore how these ratings are transforming industry standards and consumer experiences. #iCIRT #BuiltByTrescon

Architectural practices need to find specialists they can rely upon from the earliest Work Stages, with the ability to follow projects through to the later Work Stages. A professional will tell you the things you might not want to hear. That is true for all aspects of building performance, and not only fire safety.

Exploring Innovation: Our latest post delves into how Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) are revolutionising the retrofitting process. Discover the transformative impact of MMC on upgrading existing structures efficiently and sustainably.

The need to scale MMC to meet the current demand in housing, healthcare and educational construction is one of the biggest challenges of the construction industry in the near future. Taking steps to ensure a smooth transition into primarily MMC based industry is essential to ensure the success of the roadmap to MMC plan. This is just one of the reasons why we're currently expanding our premises to increase the output of Thepodfactory and Metal frame construction to meet Irelands demand for modular construction. #MMCIreland #MMC #Modularconstruction #constructionindustry #roadmaptoMMC
