🚀 PLANNING APPROVED! 🎉 🙌 We are thrilled to announce that planning approval has been granted for the construction of the new Waterside Bridge in Nottingham, developed in partnership with Balfour Beatty and Ramboll UK. This landmark project is set to become the first bridge to span the River Trent in over 60 years! The Waterside Bridge will ease congestion by providing nearby residents with a new transport route for work commutes and offering easier access to greenspace for leisure and wellbeing. This vital connection will link the Waterside Regeneration Area, Colwick Park, and the Lady Bay and West Bridgford areas, enhancing both commuter and leisure travel. With an estimated cost of £12 million, this visionary project prioritises sustainability and connectivity, promising to enrich the community by providing better access to greenspaces and urban hubs. As we progress towards the completion of the technical design stages, we eagerly anticipate this collaborative effort transforming Nottingham’s urban landscape and delivering lasting benefits for residents and visitors alike.

The aim is to maintain optimal water flow, and minimise the risk of flooding, whilst also establishing additional connections to surrounding drainage systems 💦 We are thrilled to be part of this interesting project and look forward to watching it take shape over the coming months! 🙌
As we are committed to advancing sustainability in the construction industry, one of our key efforts is in the measurement and reduction of embodied carbon in projects. 📊 Leveraging the well-established Structural Carbon Tool, developed by the IStructE, we've taken a step further by integrating it with REVIT. Our goal is to automate and improve the accuracy of the volume data required for carbon calculations. Using REVIT’s BIM Interoperability Tools, combined with our own carbon classification numbering system, we’ve embedded relevant carbon information directly into building element families. Custom filters developed by Dice generate clear 3D visuals of projects, colour-coded to align with carbon classifications. 📈 These visuals are cross-referenced with structured schedules that seamlessly feed into the Structural Carbon Tool. This automated approach delivers precise volume data, which is then used to calculate a project's Carbon Impact score, making the process both efficient and user-friendly. By evolving this method with our tools, we hope to enhance the precision of carbon assessments, help projects move closer towards their sustainability goals while simplifying the process for our clients. 📉 #embodiedcarbon #carbon #sustainability #construction #REVIT #BIM #sustainable #IStructE #netzero
