Well done Andrew!!! Amazing effort.

[Gareth Atkinson @StructEngineer_]

@andymatthews Yeah .. that too

[Gareth Atkinson @StructEngineer_]

@andymatthews It’s wrong. Bricks only work on soffits when they are an arch. It’s faux and doesn’t make sense.

Finally, hopefully!
The UK’s first Electric Arc Furnace to enable the production of much greener steelwork.

@strava now counts your “carbon saved” on commute selected rides

Be interesting to know for the 0.22kg C02/km base calculation Strava use, what type of motor vehicle it’s compared against and the assumption of riders fuel/diet.

@ClubPeloton .. a useful tool for next years C2M

Come and join us at the @BuildingCentre tomorrow night to discuss how to successfully retrofit a residential estate with the main aim to save carbon.

Retrofit to resi or urban mine the vast amount of steel in these buildings for viable developments elsewhere? Has Canary Wharf had its day as a commercial giant. Big change is afoot by the looks of it.

@jamie_th @uncommonmartyn @ben_derbyshire If that’s the case then we have to say “so be it” and plant some more. Living in a metropolis is not simple for many … thankful it’s just a tree. Go again.
