During our deep dive into 150 years of award winning, pioneering solutions we let you in on engineering’s best kept secret: the #ObservationalMethod. 🔊 Listen to the episode of our #heritage podcast with Engineering Matters, here: https://mottm.ac/3VOv20x For decades, the Observational Method has enabled engineers to overcome geotechnical challenges while reducing cost, minimising carbon and maximising safety. Our guests discussed its evolution through impactful projects, including Boston's ‘Big Dig’, the new Wembley Stadium, and the Channel Tunnel, which celebrated its 30th anniversary this year. We were joined by: - Alan Powderham, former Mott MacDonald director of transportation - Tony O’Brien, Mott MacDonald Fellow and global practice leader for geotechnics - Hock Liong Liew, technical principal - Dr Rob Talby, project principal #ThenNowTomorrow #DeliveringExcellence

Did you know that we designed the landmark bridge that forms the backdrop to the popular TV show Derry Girls? 🌉 On 18 July 1933, the Craigavon Bridge in Derry/Londonderry was officially opened in front an audience of over 20,000 spectators and declared a gift to the people of the city. The bridge designer David Anderson of our predecessor company Mott, Hay & Anderson participated in the opening ceremony of the unique 390m long, double deck, steel truss crossing that was delivered in collaboration with contractor, Dorman, Long & Co. As one of the most iconic projects we've helped to deliver, our work on Craigavon Bridge laid the foundation for over 70 years of engineering innovation on the island. Today, we’re applying technical expertise to help lay strong foundations for growth, maintain and improve essential infrastructure, and guide the transition to a low carbon energy future. Explore the impact we're making across Ireland, here. 👇 https://mottm.ac/4iOldcG #ThenNowTomorrow #DeliveringExcellence #Heritage

Reflecting on our first-ever #CarbonCrunch in the Middle East 🗺️ Middle East organisations face tougher local #climate legislation as countries respond to international commitments and frameworks. From May 2025, the UAE’s Federal Decree-Law on the Reduction of #ClimateChange Effects will require entities covered by the regulation to measure and report emissions or face a penalty. At our inaugural Carbon Crunch event in the #MiddleEast in November, we brought together senior leaders from across the built environment, infrastructure, water and energy sectors to discuss practical steps towards #decarbonisation. It was a brilliant opportunity to share knowledge on how to overcome common technical, strategic, financial and cultural barriers to change. In this article Lisa Terry, Middle East climate change practice lead, shares advice on how to convert ambitious net-zero targets into practical steps to cut emissions and drive progress towards a #sustainable future. 👇 https://mottm.ac/4eMb3XQ 👀 Watch this space as we’ll be sharing more with you in the new year. #CarbonCrunchMiddleEast #MottMacDonaldMiddleEast

In a recent article by Construction Management magazine, Eszter A Gulacsy, technical director, explains how smart sensors can improve the #operation and #functionality of new and existing buildings. In the past, it has often been difficult to obtain building performance data, but the installation of smart sensors can unlock that. That’s why the #DigitalSolutions enabled by smart sensors are increasingly seen as an essential tool for building owners and operators. Eszter explains the types of data that can be extracted from smart sensors to improve a building’s energy performance, as well as improving the wellbeing of people using the spaces. For example, air-quality sensors are increasingly common in schools, healthcare settings and offices for CO2 monitoring as increased concentrations can lead to cognitive impairment. As research shows that even at the top end of ‘good’ air quality at 1,000ppm concentration of CO2, there is a 15% drop in cognitive functions, while at 1,400ppm the drop is as much as 50%. Eszter also discusses the potential of future space planning by using smart sensors and what building owners and operators need to do to use this data to its fullest potential.

In 1964, John Bartlett of Mott, Hay & Anderson pioneered a visionary idea that led to the invention of a new methodology that changed #tunnelling history forever. 🚇 Hear the full story from John Bartlett’s family and our specialists in this #heritage podcast episode with Engineering Matters: https://mottm.ac/3DoWZWn The bentonite tunnelling shield transformed the way tunnels are excavated and contributed to a subsequent rise in safer, more cost-effective designs in challenging ground conditions worldwide. We discuss how this innovation paved the way for a new generation of metros and subaqueous crossings that would not have been possible without pressurised face machines, such as Denmark’s Storebaelt Tunnel and the East Side Access project in New York. Our guests include: - Mike Bartlett, son of engineer John Bartlett - Michael Savill, global practice leader for tunnels - Andy Thompson, head of tunnel design for the US eastern region - Sam Lo Grasso, principal structural engineer for tunnels - Emily Farmer MICE, tunnelling engineer #ThenNowTomorrow #DeliveringExcellence

We’re excited to be supporting Transport for New South Wales in their upgrade of the Princes Highway in a joint venture with RPS and BG&E. We’ve been awarded the contract for the concept design and environmental assessment of the Princes Highway upgrade between Jervis Bay Road and Hawken Road. This project will support regional growth, connect communities and provide safer and more reliable travel. As part of our joint venture, we will be exploring the project's impacts on the surrounding area and proposed mitigation measures for those impacts, such as flora and fauna, noise and vibration and First Nations heritage.

The projected pace and scale of growth in Australian defence spending is significant, and stakes are high to manage the ramp up. How can the industry respond to this rapid surge without escalating costs, causing project delays or compromising on scope? Peter Colacino, our project strategy and delivery leader for NSW, shared his insights in the recent Australian British Chamber of Commerce Defence x Infrastructure magazine. In his article, Peter explores the comparison that can be made to surges in civil infrastructure spending in Australia where tight timeframes and fixed funding has seen contractors motivated to reduce scope in order to deliver projects on time and on budget. Alternative solutions such as collaborative contracting and private investment could be the key to mitigating these risks and managing the growth in defence.

🏆Our team recently took home Bentley Systems 2024 Going Digital Award in the enterprise engineering category for our work on Metrolinx's Ontario Line, a nearly 16-kilometer subway through downtown Toronto. We were honored to accept the award alongside our partners at HDR for our comprehensive digital delivery strategy to improve information sharing across a multi-team program. “This project has demonstrated the value of a digital approach. Consistent data creation and sharing drives collaboration,” said Michael Gaunt, our digital implementation leader for North America. Interested in our work on the Ontario Line?

For the past few years, we have been working with Drill Tech Drilling & Shoring, Inc. to repair and rehabilitate the historic Carlton Tunnel near Leadville, Colorado, in order to improve water flow. 🏔️ The tunnel is used to carry snowmelt from the Rocky Mountains to Turquoise Lake. Major collapses over time had reduced water flow significantly, and the Busk Ivanhoe Water System Authority needed a solution to improve access and operation. 💧 With the tunnel being located at nearly 11,000 ft. elevation and 14 miles from a paved road, our team is utilizing a small fleet of conventional tunnel construction equipment during short summer construction seasons to efficiently excavate and stabilize large collapses. Following the observational approach, we are making field decisions to address encountered conditions and make significant progress in challenging conditions. Read more about the Carlton Tunnel and how our team is rising to the unique challenge in this article in TBM: Tunnel Business Magazine: https://mottm.ac/4iHDkB1 #Engineering #Construction #WaterAccess #Innovation
