44:38What do engineers build? Often, the answer will be bridges and dams, apartment blocks and factories. But in everything they do, engineers are also helping to build communities. They are contributing to building people’s careers, and it is those jobs that are central to building a better world. In this episode, the last of four profiling shortlisted entries in the Engineering Matters Awards, we are looking at how engineers are helping to build better, more diverse workforces, and supporting the communities they work in.

59:31At the core of engineering and manufacturing, is the transformation of materials. A tree becomes a book. A stone is transformed into a concrete bridge, rocks into steel and glass skyscrapers. Each of these transformations are inefficient. Raw materials are lost to waste. Mechanical energy is converted into lost heat. In this inefficiency, we gradually chip away at our planet, and its liveability. If we are to maintain our planet, we must find new, more efficient ways to perform these transformations. We must move from a linear economy, where materials are extracted, transformed, used and then thrown away. Instead, we most focus on re-using, and build a truly circular economy. In this episode, the third of four profiling shortlisted entries in the Engineering Matters Awards, we are looking at how engineers are helping to transform the world, by making manufacturing and transport efficient and sustainable.

We live in a world where data and connectivity are essential to almost everything we do. Cable and satellite connections add value to business through trade and collaboration, and enrich our personal lives with the ability to engage with friends and family around the world. Maintaining these connections is a central aim of engineers in the 21st century. Little has changed in a hundred years. In the early years of the 20th Century, London was the backbone router of a communications network that was revolutionising the business and social lives of Britons. Information was transferred by letters and parcels, rather than data packets, but the need to ensure efficient data transmission was the same. In 1913, work commenced on a project that would smooth this transmission: the General Post Office’s underground railway. This allowed information to flow freely, minimising bandwidth constraints and enabling efficient handling. In March, attendees at the Engineering Matters Awards will have the opportunity to ride on the railway. In this episode, we tell the story of how it was planned, built and operated.

For many of us, now is a season of giving. A well chosen gift can bring lasting joy. But it’s easy to get wrong. One of the finest gifts anyone can give, is the gift of engineering. But how can engineers and designers ensure that when they share their gifts, they really meet the needs of users? This November, Engineers Without Borders UK brought together a diverse panel of experts to discuss the ‘Voices That Matter’ in engineering. In a conversation moderated by Jonathan Truslove, the panellists—Kamran Mallick, Marsha Ramroop, and Natalia Vasnier—discussed how engineers, and particularly those new to the industry, can work to ensure their work responds to the needs of all users. In this episode, featuring excerpts from the discussion, we offer a guide to the gift that keeps on giving—inclusive engineering, inspired from the start by the voices of users. This is our last episode of 2024. We’re taking a two week break for Christmas and the New Year. We’ll be back in January, with a mini-series on the shortlisted entries in this year’s Engineering Matters Awards.

This week, we are returning to Rothera, in the Antarctic, where, in 2021 the British Antarctic Survey had just completed work on a project it has called ‘the world’s most extreme construction site’. Pour yourself a warming drink, and enjoy the episode. We’ll be back with a new episode next week. Since the end of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, humanity has focused its activities in the southern continent on science and research. To do this effectively, logistics are critical. To prepare for the arrival of its new ship, the RRS Sir David Attenborough, the wharf at Rothera Research Station needed to be replaced. The new wharf needed to be built in the extreme conditions of Antarctica, and able to withstand impacts from 15,000 tonne icebergs. In this episode we speak to the people who made it happen, and find out what it’s like to work in the most desolate environment known.

39:11Nature-based solutions are emerging as vital tools to tackle the dual crises of climate change and biodiversity loss by leveraging nature’s inherent resilience to protect and restore ecosystems. This episode explores how innovative approaches can make these solutions mainstream and economically viable while addressing complex challenges like urban flooding, ecosystem restoration, and sustainable investment opportunities. As species vanish at unprecedented rates, ecosystems lose their resilience, diminishing their ability to mitigate climate impacts such as floods and heatwaves. Traditional grey engineering solutions, like concrete sea walls, often address a specific issue but can create long-term challenges. In contrast, nature-based solutions leverage the inherent adaptability and efficiency of natural systems, offering multifunctional benefits like enhanced biodiversity, flood management, and improved urban living conditions. Nature-based solutions integrate ecological processes into infrastructure and land management, delivering diverse benefits to urban and rural settings. However, scaling these methods requires overcoming challenges in measuring their long-term benefits, articulating their value, and shifting industry focus from short-term cost efficiencies to long-term systemic resilience. Economic viability is crucial for the widespread adoption of nature-based solutions. Companies like Nattergal are pioneering models that make nature restoration an investable asset, transforming public goods like carbon sequestration and clean water into marketable ecosystem services. Incentives like biodiversity net gain credits in the UK show how policy can direct funding toward environmental recovery. By demonstrating tangible financial returns alongside environmental benefits, these initiatives aim to align corporate interests with sustainable practices, ensuring businesses can protect their futures while contributing to global climate resilience. Guests Philip Hoare, Chief Operating Officer, AtkinsRéalis Stuart McLaren, Global Director for net zero innovation, AtkinsRéalis Claire Wansbury, Fellow and technical director for ecology, AtkinsRéalis Zoe Metcalfe, Client director for local and central government, AtkinsRéalis Francis Heil, Associate director for climate change and resilience, AtkinsRéalis Ben Hart, head of operations, Nattergal Ivan de Clay, head of natural capital, Nattergal The post #305 Making the Case for Nature-Based Solutions first appeared on Engineering Matters .…

43:55During the last Ice Age, glaciers scored huge trenches through the land beneath the Irish Sea. Today, those valleys are filled with softer material and sit between tracts of hard rock, creating a diverse landscape that wind farm developer Codling Wind Park has had to research in painstaking detail before it can begin installing its turbine foundations into the seabed. This challenge is explained by Ed Sly from Codling Wind Park, and Matthew Chappell, Melanie Zacheis, and Ross Frazer from Geo-data experts Fugro. They explain the innovative technologies deployed to combat the hazardous offshore conditions, while making the process as quick and efficient as possible when designing what is set to be Ireland’s biggest offshore wind farm, projected to produce 1,300 megawatts of power for homes in Dublin and beyond. With the wind power industry booming, the necessary ground investigation and construction equipment is in short supply, and financial stakes are high. Safety is always a priority when working offshore as well. Fugro made modifications to the jack-up platform from which it conducted its testing for the Codling project, cutting downtime, reducing overall time at sea, and enabling more tests to be run, giving a more accurate picture of the seabed. Guests Matthew Chappell, regional service line director nearshore, Fugro Ross Frazer, principal analysis engineer, Fugro Ed Sly, engineering manager, Codling Wind Park Melanie Zacheis, principal engineer – geotechnical team leader, Fugro Partner Fugro is the world’s leading Geo-data specialist, collecting and analysing comprehensive information about the Earth and the structures built upon it.

21:46Monitoring and maintaining an entire rail network can be costly, slow and, for those working on the track, very dangerous. Specialised trains were developed that could be mounted with sensors for collecting data on track gauging and track condition, however these couldn’t be mounted together. In this episode we look into the development of RILA or Rail Infrastructure Alignment Acquisition, which has been used on multiple rail networks to make data collection faster and safer. In 2006 Jos Berkers had the idea to combine all the existing technology for rail data collection and put them in a box small enough to fit on passenger trains. After years of working to develop the idea in his living room he was able to test the system that became known as RILA on the Dutch rail network. Since then RILA has continued to develop, with more sensors being added and more countries using it to monitor their networks. In 2021 RILA was used across the entire 2,000 miles of Scotland’s Rail network. It reduced the time taken from 27,500 hours to under 1,000 hours, and Network Rail estimates that RILA prevented 72 minor and three major injuries from ever occurring.
