Can you imagine living in a city without roads on the surface? We've already put trains underground successfully, but the idea of building roads underground is now inspiring urban planners and engineers. Bradley Garrett, author of 'Subterranean London', says that there's something magical about things happening out of sight, that it "gives the illusion of seamlessness". So, how might underground roads reshape our cities and redefine the daily commute?你能想象生活在一个没有路面的城市里吗？ 我们已经成功地将火车埋入地下，但在地下修建道路的想法现在正在激发城市规划者和工程师的灵感。 《伦敦地下》一书的作者布拉德利·加勒特 (Bradley Garrett) 表示，在视线之外发生的事情有一些神奇之处，它“给人一种无缝的错觉”。 那么，地下道路将如何重塑我们的城市并重新定义日常通勤？"If you want to revitalise the city centre, you pedestrianise the roads," says Tom Ireland, the director of tunnelling at engineering company Aurecon. Moving roads below the surface can free up space for parks, pavement cafes, and other public amenities, improving the urban environment and mental health of the population. Not only that, it could reduce traffic congestion above ground, and who doesn't want to be freed from noise pollution and the sight of gridlocked traffic? “如果你想振兴市中心，你就需要在道路上修建步行街，”工程公司 Aurecon 的隧道工程总监汤姆·爱尔兰 (Tom Ireland) 说道。 将道路移至地下可以为公园、路边咖啡馆和其他公共设施腾出空间，从而改善城市环境和人们的心理健康。 不仅如此，它还可以减少地面交通拥堵，谁不想摆脱噪音污染和交通拥堵的困扰呢？Underground roads could also make self-driving cars more popular, which are often more energy-efficient, and less prone to collisions. This, in a world trying to reduce its fuel consumption, is appealing. But if driverless cars end up becoming more attractive than public transport, it could actually make traffic worse, because cars take up more space than trains and buses.地下道路还可以让自动驾驶汽车更受欢迎，因为自动驾驶汽车通常更节能，而且更不容易发生碰撞。 在一个努力减少燃料消耗的世界中，这一点很有吸引力。 但如果无人驾驶汽车最终变得比公共交通更有吸引力，它实际上可能会使交通状况变得更糟，因为汽车比火车和公共汽车占用更多的空间。That's not the only drawback that may come with a motorised world beneath our feet. The construction and maintenance of underground infrastructure are both hazardous and energy-intensive processes. On top of that, most people don't like the feeling of confinement you get when you're travelling through underground tunnels, which may affect public perception.这并不是我们脚下的机动世界可能带来的唯一缺点。 地下基础设施的建设和维护既危险又耗能。 最重要的是，大多数人不喜欢穿过地下隧道时的封闭感，这可能会影响公众的看法。Dreams of roadless, car-free cities bring both excitement and scepticism. We may fantasise about cityscapes made for pedestrians, but perhaps getting more people to use public transport rather than private vehicles would be more worth our time and resources.无路、无车城市的梦想既让人兴奋，也让人怀疑。 我们可能会幻想为行人打造的城市景观，但也许让更多的人使用公共交通工具而不是私家车更值得我们花时间和资源。词汇表urban planner 城市规划师the illusion of seamlessness 完美连贯的假象，无缝的错觉commute 上下班往返，通勤pedestrianise 设立步行街free up space 腾出空间public amenities 公共设施congestion 拥堵，堵塞noise pollution 噪声污染gridlocked traffic 交通堵塞self-driving car 自动驾驶汽车energy-efficient 节能的collision（车辆）碰撞，相撞fuel consumption 燃油消耗量，耗油量motorised 机动（化）的infrastructure 基础设施hazardous 危险的energy-intensive 耗能的roadless 无道路的car-free 无车的，车辆禁行的vehicle 车辆，交通工具

Yesterday, I was contacted by someone who, I think it's fair to say, has had a gutsful of the Christchurch City Council. They are someone who is involved with business groups and community groups in Christchurch and they've felt compelled to get in touch after all the goings-on over the last couple of weeks. We've had the chief executive quitting, the chief financial officer quitting, the KPMG report which looked into that $6.5 million budget blowout in the Three Waters division - where we had a whole lot of unapproved spending on hiring more staff. Not to mention all the other comings and goings —generally goings— throughout this year. To the point where the council in New Zealand's second-largest city has no chief executive and no CFO. And other senior people away on “leave”. There's been a lot of that this year. It seems that if you're on leave at the Christchurch City Council, it generally means you've left. Then there's the other crazy stuff going on. Stuff like the money being blown on that beautification trial on Gloucester Street, in the centre of town, near the Turanga central library and where the new Court Theatre's being built. So, quite rightly, people are scratching their heads and wondering what the hell's going on at that outfit. You may have heard that the new Local Government Minister is keeping an eye on things and wants to find out more. It's also being reported that the Auditor-General's office is taking an interest. It says it's been in touch with the council and wants to “further understand” what's going on. Particularly, the $6.5 million in unapproved spending, and the other issue that's emerged in the last few days. This leaked report by external consultants Aurecon which says a lack of leadership and accountability at the council is putting billions of dollars of public assets at risk. These are things like underground pipes, roads, parks and playgrounds, as well as facilities such as libraries, pools and community centres. I understand the report that was leaked is still in draft and not yet finalised. But the council's had the draft since September. As it's being reported, the report talks about the council's ongoing failure to document the condition of many of its core assets and some maintenance is understood to be years behind schedule. So, when you consider all of these things, you can see why this person involved in business and community groups has had enough. They say the majority of Christchurch citizens are sick and tired of the incompetence, and lack of accountability and common sense at the council. And they think the Government needs to step-in and appoint commissioners to take over.We know the Local Government Minister is aware of reports about the city council and is taking his time to get across all the details. He also expects to be briefed on the resignations of the chief executive and the chief financial officer. Personally, I think we're close to needing government intervention. But I don't think we're at that point just yet. Because I think we need to know first whether the departures of the chief executive and the chief financial officer were more than just “resignations”. Because if they were given their marching orders, then that would give me a little bit of confidence that there is some hope that the council can sort out its own mess. But, I tell you what, I'm not far away from joining the call for commissioners to take over. Not far away at all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Grandes projetos de Capital recebem muita atenção nas organizações – e não é para menos: são os projetos que trarão retorno financeiro futuro e envolvem diferentes áreas durante a sua definição e execução. Mas além da carteira de novos investimentos, as empresas possuem uma série de outros projetos – às vezes milhares deles, dependendo do porte – que são os chamados projetos de Sustaining, ou Projetos Correntes. São projetos de suporte à operação, projetos de manutenção, projetos de melhorias operacionais ou de infraestrutura, que são necessários para manter a empresa operando. E nem sempre esses desafios estão recebendo o destaque merecido no foco da organização. Sobre esse tema, hoje eu converso sobre a importância dos projetos de Sustaining com o Elizeu Boto. Elizeu é o Líder da equipe de Sustaining Capital da Aurecon na Austrália. Possui formação em Engenharia Química e Sistemas de Informação no Brasil, onde também obteve mestrado em gerenciamento de projetos e MBA em estratégia corporativa.

She holds a degree in Bachelor of Business Administration (2017) from Milpark Education and a Marketing Management Diploma (2010).                 Kate has been part of the APMP family and a member of the APMP South African Chapter since 2014, and now appointed the Chair for APMP South African Chapter. She has an APMP Foundation accreditation and is currently pursuing her next, which is the Practitioner, hoping to bag it by June 2022.                  This bid professional is purpose-driven, that is, she acts on things bigger than the services she provides in her career. Within the organization she works for, IQbusiness, she drives and leads as part of corporate social responsibility, an initiative within the education space called the Alexandra Education Committee (AEC), mentoring young people and raising funds towards their education. This way creates an impact and empowers young people's lives and their future to create and embrace lasting positive changes. She has served on this NPO, on the AEC Council and the AEC Alumni Committee as the Alumni Chairperson since 2013 (on the committee since 2009).              Kate is an independent, ambitious, well-spoken, well-groomed and vibrant woman, who faces life with courage and determination. She is a widow and a mother of three (1 girl, now late as of June 2021 and two boys). Never mind “a series of her unfortunate events”, she carries on living a purpose filled life, with her shoulders up and a smile on her face. She keeps on thriving and her plan is to obtain her PGDip in Business Management. One day she hopes to run her own organization training people in entrepreneurial skills and business acumen.               Before her boys wake up, she jogs, 2kg of weights, 30 minutes of exercise and she is ready to conquer the day. When she is not taking over the world, you will find her at some park or some fun-fair event with her boys being playful, in a world of superheroes, unicorns, rainbows and jelly tots. What she likes doing for fun, is to watch the same episode of “Peppa Pig” and pretend she has never seen it before

Apart from Antarctica, Australia is the driest continent on earth, but the purification of wastewater for drinking hasn't really caught on just yet. Toowoomba famously flushed the idea in 2006, even as it stared down the worst drought on record. But according to a case study by engineering group Aurecon, a proposed facility in Greater Melbourne could produce water that's cheaper and purer, than the desalinated version you've been paying for.

Cohost Matthew Cutler-Welsh interviews Victoria, Australia-based architect Pablo Sepulveda, of the engineering and design firm Aurecon. The two discuss Pablo's affinity for engineering due to the design power it confers, as well as his work on the pioneering Ngā Kāinga Anamata project in Auckland, New Zealand. Ngā Kāinga Anamata is a pilot social housing project whose five buildings (30 units total) explore various approaches to reducing both operational and embodied carbon, including Passive House.  See this flythrough video of the project's design and program: https://youtu.be/FDt_89d02cY After the interview, Matthew and cohost Zack Semke discuss upcoming events, links to which can be found here: https://passivehouseaccelerator.com/articles/passive-house-weekly-march-7-2022 

In this episode, Maithili Ghadge, podcast host, talks with Rudi Vermaak, a Professional Structural Technologist specializing in the design of the water retaining structure's team in the Water Unit at Zutari (Formerly known as Aurecon). He is responsible for structural analysis, design, and coordination. He has done the structural design (including reinforcement detailing and supervision) of numerous structures including three hydro-power stations, settlement analysis of a reservoir, pump stations, biological reactors and even a tiny pre-cast slab for a chamber. Rudi talks about the stigma around structural Engineers, agility, and adaptation of structural engineers to the environment and why structural engineers are underappreciated and misunderstood. He also shares some insights on how modern structural engineers fit into an organization. Tune in to learn more about the soft sides of Structural Engineers.

[08:51] Why structural Engineers are underappreciated and misunderstood [11:43] The agility and adaptation of Structural Engineers to the environment [16:29] How the modern structural Engineers fit into an organization [22:42] Rudi's conclusion Quotes ● Structural Engineers are good technical, analogical thinkers but have weak intrapersonal skills. ● The new generation is willing to work more as long as there is a tangible benefit. ● Structural Engineers are difficult. They are not the easiest people to work with. They are always asking questions. ● Don't stop talking. You need to make sure that people are aware of your feelings and needs. ● As Structural Engineers, we need to be part of the bigger picture. We need to be involved in every component of a project.

Matt is an Environmental Engineer with Aurecon and an American ex-pat living in Sydney, Australia. We have a great chat about his work as an environmental engineer and the differences in his work on these 2 continents. Both are topics I have wanted to know more about. So, I suppose that means this episode has ** BONUS CONTENT **

On this episode I am joined by Matt Gurr, Industry Leader Data Centers for Aurecon. Matt started his career in the UK working for the MOD and a pocket dial from a friend resulted in a career changing move to Australia. Matt is now based in Sydney and he leads the data center division for Aurecon who are a leading consultancy in data centre design. We discuss how Matt started his career within the MOD and how this initial training has helped his career, how he first made the move to Australia and in to the data center sector, how he feels the industry is adapting as it rapidly expands, people centric design of data centers, and what advice he would give to people looking to work in the sector. Matt gives a great insight into the data center sector and he has some great ideas on how to attract new talent to the industry.
