In this thought-provoking Podcast episode, hosted by Ben Wakeling, Rob Houlston, Structural Engineer and Shawn Galliers, Director of Sustainability, explores how structural engineering can play a pivotal role in the reuse of existing buildings, offering both sustainability and cost-efficiency benefits. Drawing parallels with other industries-like fashion, electronics, and automotives.
As the climate emergency intensifies, the role of structural engineers is evolving rapidly. No longer confined to ensuring buildings stand strong, today’s engineers are being called upon to help shape a low-carbon, sustainable future.
Developers often focus on design, budget and planning, but the ground underfoot can be a silent deal-breaker. In fact, it’s estimated that roughly 80% of construction problems arise from unexpected soil or rock conditions that proper investigation could have revealed.
