Advances in tunnelling techniques and technologies have opened up new applications and opportunities for a greater use of smaller tunnels, often built with automated tunnel boring machines (TBMs). Not that smaller tunnels are always so small. One such tunnel has a diameter of less than 5m but is 36.7km long…

Tanya de Hoog’s inaugural address on accepting her role as 2024 president of the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) in January, took as its theme “Engineering with purpose: aligning our values for global impact”.

Our industry is accustomed to working at scale. We deal with huge networks and facilities across countless sectors and specialisms that, despite often being made up of a million small things, add up to something gigantic.

Embodied carbon regulation is required to accelerate the decarbonisation of the built environment, says Institution of Structural Engineers head of climate action Will Arnold.

As net zero 2050 deadlines and their interim 2030 targets draw closer, the global structural engineering community is stepping up to meet the challenge of decarbonising the built environment.

Stakeholders in a new mixed-use development in the United States have cut embodied carbon during the project’s design phase thanks to an accessible calculation tool.
