    The NCE and Bentley really need to figure out the sound quality. Had Michael Warren on one ear only and it’s s so off putting that one stops listening.

  • Very Poor

    - Very poor

    Don’t bother. Wooly, fluffed up old chat, with too much “ err, umm, sort of, you know, padding and little of substance.

Engineering in Antarctica
Q: Can you explain the pre-mobilisation process and how staff are prepared for deployment to Antarctica?
We identify the works for the season, select the people who want to go, then run a week-long pre-deployment in Scotland where we brief everyone, discuss the project details, address questions, and set expectations about life on station and the remote environment.
Assessing dam failure risk with WTW
Q: How worried about dam failure should we be?
We should definitely be concerned, and not take it lightly as the rate of dam failures is ticking up.
Integrating artificial intelligence into structural maintenance and management
Q: What would you say to those resistant to AI in infrastructure?
I sympathize and encourage everyone to become conversant with AI technologies and understand how they can improve infrastructure management.
Integrating artificial intelligence into structural maintenance and management
