NRB Modular Solutions is contributing to the rise of modular construction in California. The Golden State is leading the charge in modular off-site construction, and here's why: 1️⃣ Housing Crisis Solution: With a pressing need for affordable housing, modular construction offers a faster and more cost-effective solution to address California's housing shortage. 🏠💰 2️⃣ Seismic Safety: California's susceptibility to earthquakes makes modular construction an attractive option, as off-site fabrication ensures stringent quality control and adherence to seismic standards. 🚧🛠️ 3️⃣ Sustainability Drive: In alignment with California's green initiatives, modular construction minimizes waste, reduces energy consumption, and promotes eco-friendly building practices. 🌱♻️ 4️⃣ Tech-Savvy Culture: In a state known for its tech innovation, modular construction aligns perfectly with California's forward-thinking approach, leveraging cutting-edge technology to revolutionize the building industry. 🚀💡 California is embracing the modular revolution, paving the way for a more sustainable, affordable, and resilient built environment. 🌟 Let's build the future together! #ModularConstruction #CaliforniaInnovation #NRBModularSolutions #SustainableConstruction #ModularFuture

CalGreen. Did you know that California released its updated Building Standard this week, addressing carbon management. What did it do? - Mandated Carbon Life Cycle Analysis on all buildings over 930m2 (10,000 sqft.), and all residential buildings over 5 units and set - Set specific emission thresholds on concrete, steel, insulation & glass. They also provided three compliance pathways. 1. Re-use at least 45% of the existing structure 2. Use materials that meet specified emission limits 3. Conduct an LCA to evaluate the total embodied carbon project lifecycle V-Quest makes it easy for designers to respond to all 3 pathways. We are on our way to California! Same goes for the other progressive states releasing their updated standards. Colorado, Illinois, Oregon, Washington & North Carolina. Happy US Independence Day!

Very interesting although I have 2 questions. Does the binder pollute anything and what else could the subsoil be used for. Surely all soil is a valuable resource.

Yesterday I got to visit a park and ride off I-83 and got to listen to JMT talk about the stormwater management design of the project. One thing we learned about was a level spreader with an outlet structure to help manage water and where it ends up. This system works by water coming out of the outlet structure and being evenly distributed over the level spreader. This creates sheet flow and spreads the flow out, instead of it running in a single line, preventing erosion. The dispersed flow will then travel down through the vegetation and end up in the stream nearby. This system costs less than ten thousand dollars, making it significantly more budget friendly than other potential stormwater management systems. This is a great example of sheet flow, which we learned about in class. Sheet flow is runoff that flows over the surface in a thin, even layer, not in a concentrated channel.

How can we use our drainage designs to reduce the discharge from our Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO’s)? To reduce the number of times a CSO is required to discharge, we need to reduce the amount of surface water that is entering the system so that it does not become overwhelmed during those extreme events. At first glance, this does seem like a quite a challenge, as most combined sewers are quite simply large underground pipes, and if traditional methods were adopted, the only option would be to lay significant amounts of new pipework, which would not only involve large amounts of excavation but would also create a lot of disruption and be extremely costly. Luckily, we can avoid this by undertaking some clever drainage design and incorporating some super SuDS on to our projects. The key is to try and capture as much water at source on the surface as possible. This could be through the utilisation of pocket raingardens in the place of gullies, diverting surface water via swales into new attenuation features or retrofitting existing roofs with blue or green infrastructure. It is not just on a large scale that we can make a difference, however, as on those single residential projects, we can bring in technologies such as smart rainwater water butts or raised SuDS planters which can all provide a great range of benefits and help to reduce the amount of surface water entering our systems. Great examples of where SuDS have been incorporated to reduce CSO’s include Greener Grangetown in Cardiff, the Sheffield Grey to Green Project and Combe Martin in Devon (see links in the comments to some susdrain and SDS Limited case studies) or if you have your own great case study, why not add it below and let’s get the discussion around the power of SuDS to reduce CSO’s going.

We've analysed the government's Timber in Construction Roadmap that outlines its long-term goals for the industry. This includes... 1 - Improving data on timber and whole life carbon 2 - Promoting the safe, sustainable use of timber as a construction material 3 - Increasing skills, capacity, and competency across the supply chain 4 - Increasing the sustainable supply of timber 5 - Addressing fire safety and durability concerns to safely expand the use of engineered mass timber 6 - Increasing collaboration with insurers, lenders, and warranty providers 7 - Promoting innovation and high-performing timber construction systems Read all the details on the Timber in Construction Roadmap here: https://ow.ly/yrkA50RoMhp #Timber #ConstructionIndustry #BuildingMaterials #UKConstruction #TimberConstruction #TGEscapes #SustainableConstruction

The future of construction is mass timber. Our COO, Theodore Michell , met with Financial Times journalist Helen Barrett at Paradise to explore how mass timber is reshaping the future of construction.    From speed of construction and fewer people on-site to large beams surrounding the building for fire safety - timber is setting new standards for sustainable construction. 🌳 🏗️ Watch the conversation here, along with several other worldwide mass timber projects. https://lnkd.in/eSDwWxeG #FinancialTimes #TimberConstruction #BywaterProperties #SustainableConstruction
