Renovation projects are more complex than greenfield projects. That complexity grows exponentially when the facility has thousands of pieces of valuable, complex scientific equipment located on site. Hear first hand how Jacob Burke at SmithGroup keeps track of it all in Layer in this short video! Want to learn more about this project?

Yesterday I attended a roundtable event on behalf of PLACED with the The Save Construction Initiative organised by Andy Spooner discussing the skills gap in the construction sector. The sector is facing a severe skills shortage - which given the pressing need for new homes, retrofit of crumblin infrastructure, and investment in green technology amongst other things, is a massive challenge and one which greatly impacts our society and our economy. A great deal of the conversation focused on the image problem of the industry, and how we can attract young people to work within it. There are so many amazing opportunities and career paths, but there are also deeply embedded issues in terms of image and stereotypes. The fact is, some of these concerns and challenges do stem from genuine issues which need to be addressed for young people to consider - and stay in - a career in construction. From a lack of diversity to insecure pipelines of work, it can be an intimidating place. But also, with the right employer and support, incredibly rewarding. It seems the only way to solve the problems is through collaboration (always the best option in our view!) and a much more joined up, jointly funded and strategic approach. Together, we need to ensure this is a sector young people feel safe, secure, cared for, respected and supported at all levels. Thanks for the invite!

As building costs soar and economic uncertainty rises, tender price inflation continues to escalate, reflecting that Contractors are now passing on the soaring building cost inflation which we have witnessed since early 2021. Our panel, Alison Wring, Director, AECOM, James Latham MRICS, Director, Pioneer Group, Rupert Corbett, Director, Buro Four, Marion R., Director, The Fairhursts Design Group and Chris Shore, Project Director, John Innes Centre discuss procurement in a volatile market in a lively panel debate at the UKSPA - The United Kingdom Science Park Association Autumn Conference. #Procurement #investment #netzero #UKSPA  #TheUnitedKingdomScienceParkAssociation #netzero #investment #incubation #realestate #lifesciences #agritech #technology #digitech #science #scienceparks #innovation #research #development #healthtech #medtech #collaboration #innovationdistrict #clusters #realestate #sustainability

We are thrilled to share the successful start-up of a truly groundbreaking project that plays a crucial role in supporting the rapidly growing Stanton Springs area in Newton County, Georgia. As a renowned high-tech and bio-pharma industrial park, Stanton Springs is undergoing remarkable expansion, attracting major businesses like Takeda, Meta (Facebook), and Rivian. At GWES, we understand the significance of providing essential services to sustain the growth and development of such dynamic regions. To meet this demand, we took on the challenge of engineering an 86" casing pipe, with the remarkable feat of tunneling beneath I-20. This innovative infrastructure will carry 16" Industrial Wastewater, 16" Sanitary Sewer, and a 16" Re-Use Force Main, ensuring that the industries and businesses in the area have the necessary infrastructure to thrive. The collaboration with Newton County Water & Sewerage Authority, Strack, Inc., and LEGACY WATER GROUP, LLC was instrumental in delivering this project in a timely manner. Their expertise and dedication aligns perfectly with our commitment to engineering excellence and ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety. One of the most exciting aspects of this project is the inclusion of spare conduits, which provide the flexibility needed to accommodate future development and expansion. As Stanton Springs continues to grow, Newton County Water and Sewerage Authority’s (NCWSA) infrastructure will be readily available to support additional businesses and industries, fostering economic prosperity and job opportunities for the local community. At GWES, we firmly believe that projects like this go beyond construction; they pave the way for sustainable growth, economic vitality, and a brighter future for the entire region. We take immense pride in being part of Stanton Springs' journey towards becoming a global destination for future industries, and we remain committed to engineering excellence and service to communities across the region. #GWES #InfrastructureProject #StantonSprings #EngineeringExcellence #CommunityService #GeorgiaBusiness #Tunnelling #Innovation #Sustainability #BioPharma #HighTech #GeorgiaBioScience #Collaboration #FutureDevelopment #EconomicProsperity
