Tonsley is Australia’s first innovation district, and home to some of South Australia’s best and brightest minds. The new facility will be home to the Tonsley Technical College, a Department for Education, South Australia (DfE) initiative supporting students to complete the SACE while undertaking vocational education and training (VET) to help address the state’s skills shortages, including in the construction industry. The project also includes the Flinders University expansion of Factory of the Future – a world class advanced manufacturing facility designed to bring together industry, education and researchers. Sarah Constructions is proud to be the project’s construction partner, continuing a long relationship delivering world-class facilities for both DfE and Flinders University. Designed by Das Studio, the building is South Australia's first mass GLT & CLT project in the state, with the 4000m2 building’s columns, beams and floors constructed entirely of this innovative product, supplied by NeXTimber (by Timberlink) and Australian Sustainable Hardwoods (ASH), a local leader in sustainable construction materials. Led by Project Manager Hanan Jamal, our team is working closely with industry partners including Turner & Townsend , Rider Levett Bucknall RLB, WSP in Australia, INNOVIS Consulting, dsquared Consulting, and BuildSurv to deliver a project that will provide long-term benefits for South Australia’s economy and workforce. This blog explores the collaboration and innovation making this pioneering project a reality.

So, entries for the 2024 #WorldDemolitionAwards are now coming in and I have to say; the more I see the work that #demolitioncontractors are doing, the more I love it. And I know that if more people outside of the #demolition #deconstruction #dismantling and #decommissioning industry had the chance to see the incredible projects and the positive impact that they can have on our world and the environment, the bigger the positive change our industry could have in shaping the way we design, build and live. If you're a #contractor planning on entering this year's awards 🏆 (run by the #WorldDemolitionSummit: https://lnkd.in/eU7jUSMG), I encourage you (if you're not bound by non-disclosure agreement) to NOT check the box that opts you out of Demolition and Recycling International (D&Ri) being able to publish case studies about your projects. We have to take every opportunity to educate the wider world on what the industry is really like, the opportunities it presents and how it enables a #sustainablefuture.

Civiltech’s Jennifer Hyman, P.E., and Phillip Hutchinson, PLA, LEED AP, lead a breakout session at the 110th Annual Transportation and Highway Engineering (THE) Conference, held February 27 and 28 in Champaign, IL. Jen and Phil together with CDOT’s David Miller and IDOT’s Kimberly Murphy presented, “Overview of the North DuSable Lake Shore Drive Phase I Study.” The presentation included the history and importance of the corridor, major project components, and the transformational opportunities that the project creates. It also provided a summary of community and stakeholder outreach efforts, as well as an update on project costs, construction, funding, and schedule. Kimberly opened the presentation with an introduction and overview. Jen then covered the history of the corridor and highlighted current safety and design deficiencies and challenges. She also presented overall project goals and shared information on the shoreline modeling. Phil walked through existing and proposed renderings illustrating existing challenges and proposed solutions. Phil included both aerial and pedestrian eye-level perspectives for discussion of the user experience. Dave then summarized the critical and involved public engagement efforts and spoke on project funding, costs, and the anticipated project schedule.
