📢 In case you missed it! Our latest Commercial Buildings Report was featured on RTE Radio1 last week, discussing a pressing question: "Why do we have so many vacant commercial buildings nationwide?" 🏢 Catch up on the key insights and what this means for businesses across Ireland. 🎧 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/e-HcZkPg #CommercialProperty #VacancyRates #GeoDirectory #BusinessInsights #RTE #CommercialRealEstate

Scale down, demobilization and closeout of a broadband project must be done correctly to ensure successful completion.

49 years ago, the UK Government cancelled the Channel Tunnel - they didn't want to underwrite the costs following an increase in estimates. Sound familiar? Watch this fascinating (ok, I nerd out on this kind of thing) segment from the BBC Archives of sentiment at the time following the news. This reinforces another point, where there is a clear need for an #infrastructure project - the question is not if it will be built, but when. All these years later, and now with the National Infrastructure Commission in place, is the strategic case given a fair shout in debates in the UK? Or does the financial case still drive decision making? One of the other things I love is how many civil and infrastructure engineers were involved in the eventual build of the Chunnel, and the expertise that they have then been able to share on similar projects around the world.

Great to support Virgin Media O2 with the launch of its new Countryside in Crisis research. It reveals the UK is sleepwalking into a countryside crisis, with 4.6 million rural residents considering moving to a town or city in the next 12 months. Last month VMO2 completed Phase 1 of its commitment to the Shared Rural Network (SRN), building and upgrading more shared sites than any other operator. It is now calling on the new Labour government to ensure the new Planning and Infrastructure Bill makes it faster and easier to deliver new mobile infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/e8-_ZnTr

As Traffic Signals and ITS professionals, we are often accused of not shouting loud enough about the importance of the work we do to the to the people at the top! So here goes!! At Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council over the next 2 years, we will be upgrading around 50 sets of traffic signals. This includes 10 sets of Signals along the A630 key bus corridor as part of our Traffic Signals Obsolescence Grant (TSOG) from the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom! All new and refurbished sites will be brought back onto our Traffic Management System via Wi-Fi, fibre optics or 4G communications. This will make our network easier to manage and detect faults quickly to ensure traffic flows smoothly in the borough! We are also keen to become a Smart Mobility Living Laboratory as we feel Rotherham is the perfect test bed for new technologies (give us a shout for more info 😉)! Non of this would be possible if we didn't have a head of transport that sees the importance of the work the mere traffic signals and ITS professionals do! I therefore urge you all to get in front of yours and shout from the rooftops about all the amazing work we do and the importance of our roles! Without us, your towns and cities will grind to a halt... Just think of the impact that will have on your economy! #trafficsignals #ITS #modility #smartmobility #CCAM #cits

Finally, we have coverage underground! It's truly gratifying to be part of a company that plays a crucial role in delivering 5G services to both the public and emergency responders throughout the London Underground. The system will host the new Emergency Services Network (ESN), which when fully operational, will give first responders immediate access to life-saving data, images and information in live situations and emergencies on the frontline. https://lnkd.in/eU7JrkyB #TfL #5G Transport for London LB Foster Europe

📢Last chance to register! Roadways and Bridges - To Toll or Not to Toll After many years of both Availability Payment and Revenue Risk transportation projects sharing the limelight, the public sector is increasingly favoring tolled facilities as a solution to the financial hurdles encountered by many Departments of Transportation. What are the drivers of these emerging projects; how are they different from legacy toll facilities; and what needs to happen to make them viable now and in the future? Join our panel of transportation experts as they discuss the near term and long view of P3 toll road facilities and what to expect (or not) from this new pipeline of projects.
