Event overview
Organiser: Environment Analyst / Brownfield Briefing
We're pleased to announce a new webinar featuring representatives from Heathrow Airport, Wood and Grimshaw, offering insights into the Heathrow Expansion programme, a project unparalleled in the UK for its scale and complexity - and one which incorporates sustainability at the heart of its design intent in keeping with the UK’s aim to be a global climate leader.
An Integrated Design Team (IDT) comprising seven companies (Arup, Atkins, Grimshaw, Jacobs, Mott MacDonald, Quod and Wood) was appointed in 2016 - tasked with delivering the mega infrastructure project and making Heathrow’s expansion an exemplar in terms of quality and sustainable development, aligning with Project 13 principles. The breadth of the IDT is unusual in that is also includes planning and environmental expertise as well as the standard engineering and design capabilities.
The webinar provides a forum for senior representatives of the IDT to share their experiences to date (and take Q&A) on the benefits, challenges and successful outcomes garnered through the innovative partnership model two years into the design process, with a focus on:
- Working in a way that is truly multidisciplinary, collaborative, efficient and agile over a sustained period of intensive design within a uniquely structured industry model
- Placing sustainability at the core of design: how the IDT is working with Heathrow to take a lead in addressing and reducing the environmental impact of the airport’s expansion and effecting genuine community engagement
- Facilitating a smooth transition from design and planning into the delivery and operation - championing the ICE blueprint for major infrastructure delivery programmes, Project 13
The webinar is free for corporate members of Environment Analyst's Market Intelligence Service or Development + Infrastructure Service. For non-members the price to attend is £99.
