Overview
This lecture will help to demystify sustainability by firstly identifying the core elements of what sustainability means. We will describe how these topics might be considered relevant from a tunnels and underground space perspective.
We will introduce BREEAM Infrastructure which is the world leading sustainability assessment, rating and awards scheme for civil engineering, infrastructure, landscaping and public realm projects.
We will demonstrate how this best practice framework can help in identifying the key sustainability topics to address, what does good and best practice look like.
We will illustrate the topic with examples of where we have applied the BREEAM approach on some interesting case studies including in the Antarctic for the British Antarctic Survey and our work for High-speed rail.
Following the lecture, there will be a networking session, with food and drinks sponsored by Ramboll at the ICE Kendal's Cafe.
