Infrastructure growth is a significant contributor to carbon emissions, but new policies and engineering innovation are leading to notable reductions. In our latest podcast (https://lnkd.in/ecfDSSur), Senior Associate Elizabeth Brownell, an expert in embodied carbon reduction in bridge projects, discusses the key role structural engineers play in designing and building more sustainable bridges. Hosted by Corporate Responsibility Officer Amy Hattan, this episode explores why it’s important to consider embodied carbon in bridge projects, how it’s measured, and the differences between bridge and building projects when it comes to carbon reduction.

From the day the planes hit the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, engineers played a crucial role at Ground Zero. Working as “second responders,” engineers supported police, firefighters and other volunteers with the search and rescue effort, assessing the stability of structures and buildings. Many remained at the site for months to help with the cleanup and keep people safe. The documentary “Engineers at Ground Zero,” previewed by TIME Magazine today and scheduled for a full release in November, follows the stories of some of the Structural Engineers Association of New York members involved in the rescue and recovery. Among them are Thornton Tomasetti Managing Principal & Applied Science Practice Co-Leader Najib Abboud, Founding Principal Richard Tomasetti and Managing Principal James W. Feuerborn Jr. Combining oral history with footage from the site, the film follows the rescue and recovery through to the investigation into how and why the towers fell and the important lessons learned about building design and safety. #September11 #neverforget

Today is Skyscraper Day, a celebration of those iconic tall buildings that shape our skylines. Although first developed more than 100 years ago, skyscrapers continue to be some of the most innovative structures around. With advanced construction methods and eco-friendly materials, they are proving to be some of the most effective and sustainable solutions for urban settings. Whether it’s timber, steel or concrete, with well over five miles of tall, supertall and megatall building designs under our belt, and some of the world’s tallest underway, we’re proud to have contributed to the storied history of the skyscraper.

One of the world’s most iconic cities is getting a striking new tower—and one of its tallest at 1,032 feet. Reinforcing Miami’s status as a global destination for business, hedge fund Citadel and market maker Citadel Securities have unveiled plans for a new headquarters at 1201 Brickell Bay Drive. Thornton Tomasetti is providing structural design, protective design and security, and sustainability and resilience consulting services to architect Foster + Partners for the 54-story tapering supertall tower. The 1.75-million-square-foot building will feature class-A office space, a hotel, retail and dining and a public waterfront terrace. Construction is expected to begin in 2025.

Need a break from all of that summer reading? Why not try a podcast! Our “Here’s How: Embodied Carbon” series (https://lnkd.in/erTzfiwu) focuses on the challenges, progress and opportunities in reducing global CO2 emissions—more than 40% of which is generated by the built environment. From greener concrete and steel to carbon capture and storage and designing with timber, host Corporate Responsibility Officer Amy Hattan and guest experts explore how designers can apply fresh thinking and best practices to help us get to net zero. You can listen to “Here’s How: Embodied Carbon” on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, PodBean and Spotify. #Sustainability #EmbodiedCarbon #HeresHowClimateAction #HeresHowPodcast

As one of the most seismically active areas in the US, California often experiences a number of earthquakes each year, including a 4.4-magnitude quake that hit Los Angeles and Orange Counties last week. Thornton Tomasetti Principal Leonard Joseph recently spoke with Taylor Torregano of Spectrum News One about designing tall towers, like downtown LA’s Wilshire Grand Center (https://lnkd.in/gEZ9rb_e),?to withstand the effects of earthquakes.
