The importance and role of buildings has evolved significantly in the past decade, now synonymous with health, well-being, and productivity. They also constitute more than 50% of global electricity consumption. Their interlinkage to cities and urban infrastructure further underscore the criticality of these assets. However, a transition is taking place in this critical space - disrupting status quo, and demanding a rethink in approach.

As a chairman of a local board of zoning appeals, I regularly hear, "That business has a huge roof, make them put solar panels up there instead of creating new solar farms." Not so fast, folks. Phil Dregger, PE, RRC explains how to do this in a responsible fashion this week. Be sure to catch his presentation!

Top-down building construction using the Liftbuild system in Chicago - I spend a lot of time thinking about how we can make construction safer: can we develop a solution that reduces the number of large crane lifts, or can we minimise works within deep excavations or confined spaces, or can we manufacture precast offsite rather than stick-building? Considering high-rise construction, my initial thoughts are “you could never build a high-rise without a tower crane”. Turns out I was wrong! The Exchange tower is a 16 storey building which is being built top-down using the new LIFTbuild system. Each floor is built on ground, and lifted into place. It significantly reduces the fall hazards and work required around suspended loads, and makes it possible to build a high-rise mostly from ground level. Could this be something we see more of in the high-rise construction industry, or perhaps even in other applications? #safety #engineering #safetyinconstruction https://lnkd.in/geKk-2FY

I’d like to take a minute and reflect on the incredible impact that committee work has had and continues to have on the Virginia Transportation Construction Alliance (VTCA), and more so, the industry as a whole. Things are always changing and evolving. As a result, challenges, issues, unintentional consequences, whatever the case may be, an intentional look into the impacts are critical to forward progress. These committees exemplify the true spirit of collaboration. Whether it's addressing industry challenges, or shaping and re-tweaking specifications and policies, the work of these committees often goes quietly unnoticed by most people, yet the benefits are felt throughout the Commonwealth by all. The reality is that they are the heartbeat of progress and transformation. So…, a heartfelt thank you to the passionate individuals who dedicate their time, energy, and expertise to VTCA’s committees. Your commitment is the driving force behind the positive impact we as a group make in the transportation arena. I might add, interested in being a catalyst for change and contributing to the future of Virginia's transportation landscape? Explore VTCA’s committees, engage with peers in the industry, and be a part of keeping Virginia moving. There is important work yet to be done.
