Here's a career path that doesn't even come to mind when you hear “Structural Engineering,” but uses the same basic knowledge and it's just as lucrative — Telecommunications.

Originally from Kuwait, Reshmi Ramesh moved to Adelaide in February 2022 to study her Master of Civil & Structural Engineering at the University of Adelaide. She is what we call an ‘Arrow,' someone who is originally from interstate or overseas and has moved to Adelaide, South Australia. Since relocating to Adelaide, Reshmi has worked part time while studying and after her final exams, commenced with the Department for Infrastructure and Transport where she has worked on several major infrastructure and transport projects including the Torrens to Darlington. We chat to Reshmi about what lured her to Adelaide, her first impressions and what she loves about living, studying and working in Adelaide, South Australia.

In this special episode, four of us sit down in Austin Texas to discuss the State of Civil Engineering, Infrastructure, entrepreneurship and the future of the A&E career. We also take a deep dive into Scott's career and the origins of Level Engineering & Architecture, as well as Level Design Partners.Scott Zurn (Founder and CEO of Level Engineering & Level Design Partners) observed some serious issues in his profession. His peers were dissatisfied and things started heading in the wrong direction.In 2015, Scott Zurn founded Level Engineering, a national firm of independent design professionals collaborating and ensuring that our built world is positively impacting the planet we live on. Level Engineering & Architecture aims to create a new level of entrepreneurial success for designers while simultaneously creating designs that contribute to a thriving planet.The idea for Level Engineering didn't come to fruition without the extensive experience he had in the engineering and public works sector. Scott has worked as the Public Works Director for the City of Estes Park, Civil Engineer for the City of Longmont, and a Project manager for the City of Thornton. In 2013, Scott was named the Transportation Professional of the Year by ITE. He was also designated as a Public Works Leadership Fellow by the American Public Works Association (APWA). He has secured and managed 100s of millions of federal grants and grant-funded NEPA studies and transportation projects. He earned the ENR Best Project of 09, for a 300-acre Brownfield Redevelopment including $250 million dollars in infrastructure bridges and 650,000 sf of retail development.We're also joined by Peter Modica, P.E. (Structural Engineer in Austin, Texas) who joined Level in 2024 and Andrew Dominguez (Entrepreneur and Growth Strategist) to extract unique perspectives of Scott's story and paint a picture of the future.Some of what we discuss includes:Interstates, pollution and the state of infrastructurePolitical impactLeaning into technologyGoing out on your own as an EngineerHow Scott got the idea for Level and how he proved it could work110k salary director level (after 30 year career) to making $450k on his ownStarting and building a new business model in A&EThe Human ConvenienceFor Benefit business modelWhy Peter (PE) joined LevelStamping for the first time (and the stress that can come with it)Being connected to the work + mentorshipMarketinghttps://levelengineering.com/about-scott-zurnConnect with us: The Level Design Podcast is a podcast for Architects and Engineers who want to thrive in this industry by creating more freedom, fulfillment and financial security.Dive deeper, fill out the form, and our leadership team will personally connect with you, address your questions and explore reclaiming your professional independence.www.levelengineering.com

In today's podcast we take a deep dive into embodied carbon and try to get a better understanding of why infrastructure professionals need to make its assessment more than just a nice add on but a fundamental part of the design process.The construction and infrastructure sectors are undergoing a major transformation as the industry seeks to reduce its carbon footprint and meet global net-zero targets. While operational carbon—emissions from heating, cooling, and electricity use—has traditionally been the focus of sustainability efforts, embodied carbon - emissions that are locked in at the point of construction and cannot be reduced over time - is now taking centre stage. To discuss this issue, my guest today is Adrian Campbell, founder of the Change Building consultancy and someone that I like to describe as an industry sustainability guru and my go-to expert when it comes to reducing carbon across the infrastructure lifecycle.  Full disclosure; I have known Adrian since we studied Civil Engineering together at the University of Southampton back in the 1980s. Well, he did the studying as I remember! Adrian has made a return to the University of Southampton as a tutor and lecturer and as Royal Academy of Engineering Visiting Professor in Sustainable Development and Climate Impact He  has just produced a new guide to help students get to grips with assessing embodied carbon - a rapidly developing area of professional competence which should provide the skills and judgment to help improve designs and help move us towards the goal of net zero carbon.For students entering the fields of architecture, engineering, and construction, embracing embodied carbon assessment is no longer optional—it is a vital skill for shaping a sustainable built environment. As Adrian puts it, having an awareness of the reasons for its adoption (the ‘why') and some experience of assessment (the ‘how') is now expected as part of the role of the engineer.However, this presents challenges: data inconsistencies, limited industry knowledge, and balancing carbon reductions with performance and cost make it a complex area to navigate. So let's find out why students should engage with embodied carbon thinking early in their careers.ResourcesAdrian Campbell Linked in Southampton University Embodied Carbon guideChange Building websiteUniversity of Southampton websitePositive Collective Royal Academy of Engineering Institution of Structural Engineers - how to calculate embodied carbon

A structural engineer is warning it may be too difficult to rescue some of the earthquake survivors still trapped in Vanuatu's badly damaged buildings. Nicolas Brooke spoke to Corin Dann.

Maddie was born and raised in Brevard County, Florida, about 30 minutes from Kennedy Space Center. From a young age Maddie remembers visiting the space center with her grandfather, who was a Radio Frequency Engineer for General Electric in the 1960s on the Saturn V program.  Though exposed to it from a young age, Maddie was not initially interested in aerospace. She attended Edgewood Jr/Sr High School in Merritt Island, Florida, where she developed a strong passion for the arts and was avid participant in theatre, choir, and drawing/painting. Though her passions were centralized around the arts, Maddie always had an affinity for math and science. After high school, she enrolled as a Civil Engineering student at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida as a means to merge her artistic creativity with her passion for STEM. Maddie's introduction into the aerospace industry came with her first internship in Civil Engineering, where she was hired as a Civil Engineering Intern at RS&H, a national architecture and engineering firm with a vast range of engineering contracts supporting many different industries. Maddie worked at RS&H's aerospace and defense office in Merritt Island, where she worked on a wide variety of projects across Kennedy Space Center, including designs supporting NASA's SLS Rocket. It was through this internship that Maddie discovered a deep passion for all things space. In her junior year of college, Maddie was hired as a Civil Engineering Intern once again, but this time working for United Launch Alliance's Engineering & Infrastructure team at Cape Canaveral Space Force Base. In this role, she worked on projects supporting the maintenance of facility infrastructure for Atlas and Delta rockets, while also supporting the development of new site infrastructure to support the new Vulcan rocket. Maddie adored working in the launch environment and was able to expand her launch site knowledge with a second United Launch Alliance internship at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California the following year. Similar to her previous internship, she supported the Engineering & Infrastructure team in development of new site infrastructure for the Vulcan Program. Maddie graduated from the University of South Florida in December of 2021 with her bachelor's in civil engineering, and in January of 2022 began work as a Structural Engineer for ULA's Engineering & Infrastructure team in Cape Canaveral. She spent two and a half years gaining valuable, hands-on experience in analysis and design engineering continuing to develop and maintain launch pads and integration facilities on both coasts in support of the Atlas, Delta, and Vulcan programs. In March of this year, Maddie decided to take her United Launch Alliance career in a new direction when she accepted a new role as a Strength Analyst Engineer here in Denver working exclusively on analysis for the future upgrades to the Vulcan rocket.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ryan-m-seely/support

This week's episode is all about the lessons learned in carrying out a low-carbon retrofit. Natalie Black (Enbee Architecture + Design) and Toby McLean (Allt Environmental Structural Engineers) joined us to talk through their experiments and experiences on the renovation of a derelict house in Muswell Hill, London that was shortlisted for the Architects Journal Retrofit and Reuse awards this year.This is a project that could easily be misrepresented as a Grand Designs-style endeavour that's only representative of what you can do if you've got loads of capital and capacity, but that wouldn't be fair. This project should really be seen as an example of what you can achieve when you've got loads of capital and the capacity to experiment. The lessons learned here aren't going to solve the housing crisis but they can contribute to resolving the climate crisis, and this is what's motivating our guests. Like many of our listeners, Natalie and Toby are built environment professionals who have become increasingly driven to change how they work by the dawning realisation that the climate crisis is upon us. We also discuss whether you can actually have a low-carbon basement.Links for the PhD applications are below too.Notes from the showNatalie Black on LinkedIn The Muswell Hill low-carbon houseThe Enbee Architecture + Design websiteThe Allt Environmental Structural Engineers' websiteNatalie's LinkedIn post about low-carbon basementsEnbee's 12-minute diary film about the Muswell Hill projectEnbee's short film (under 2 mins) about the Muswell Hill projectNatalie's blog about her workPhD #1 - Balancing Supply and Demand: Developing a Net Zero Energy Framework for Difficult-to-Retrofit Buildings in NottinghamshireNottingham Trent University deadline 8th Dec, start Apr 2025, Led by: Dr Orla Williams (UoN), Co-Supervisors: Dr Kate Simpson (NTU) and Prof Richard Bull (NTU); Community Supervisor(s): Phil Berrill (Nottinghamshire County Council), Chris Beattie (Inspire)PhD #2 - Sustainable Construction UK: Investigating the UK construction industry's culture in relation to meeting long-term social, economic and environmental goalsNottingham Trent University, deadline 14th Feb, start Sep 2025, led by Prof Gavin Killip and Dr Ani RaidenPhD #3 - Re-imagining energy retrofit and home adaptation to deliver safe and resilient homes during interconnected energy, health, housing and climate crisesNottingham Trent University, deadline 14th Feb, start Sep 2025, led by myself with Dr Penelope Siebert and Prof Rowena Hill**SOME SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**We don't actually earn anything from this, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.Follow us on the Zero Ambitions LinkedIn page (we still don't have a proper website)Jeff, Alex, and Dan about websites, branding, and communications - zap@eiux.agency; Everything is User ExperienceSubscribe and advertise with Passive House Plus (UK edition here too)Check Lloyd's Substack: Carbon UpfrontJoin ACANJoin the AECB Join the IGBCCheck out Her Own Space, the renovation and retrofit platform for women**END OF SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**

Are you just a few years into your career and thinking about going down the Structural Engineering route?

Past National President of the Society of American Magicians, Mark Weidhaas, is a jolly old man. Well, he may not really be “that” old, but he is jolly! A Structural Engineer by day, Mark “moonlights” as “Inspector Magic” for children at birthday parties, family gatherings, libraries and schools. But during the Christmas holidays, he dons his red cap and cape to become Colorado's Santa Claus. He is also very involved with planning magic conventions for the S.A.M. and in particular, he is one of the co-organizers for MAGIC Texas in Arlington, Texas, later this year. This week Mark Weidhaas tells us about his first magic convention and the importance of attending these gatherings. One of the topics discussed this week is “magic exposure” and how the national organizations handle it. He also tells us about how he developed his “Inspector Magic” character, but perhaps most importantly, we discuss how to enter into the lucrative field of making appearances as Santa Claus.

About 1:30AM local time, the Francis Scott Key Bridge in the US city of Baltimore collapsed after being struck by a container ship. The loaded ship reportedly suffered a power issue just prior to the incident, alerting a mayday just in time to stop traffic from crossing the bridge. Tragically, eight roadworkers were still working on the bridge at the time of the collapse. Two were rescued, one body has been recovered, while searches for the remaining have been suspended until morning. Authorities have said they are presumed dead. On this episode of The Briefing, Bension Siebert speaks with the Chair of the Insititute of Structural Engineers, Colin Caprani, about why the bridge collapsed, and whether the same could happen here in Australia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lloyd has been in Paris. He came back very enthused and excited by his experience there and wanted to communicate why to our listeners.“In the face of the climate emergency, a swift transition of the buildings sector is a direct requirement to achieve the goals set by the Paris Agreement”.Approximately, 1,400 people from 70 countries gathered in Paris for the Buildings and Climate Global Forum and the Declaration de Chaillot was the resultLloyd Alter, Will Arnold, and Kelly Alvarez Doran were there. The question is, what does this declaration mean? Will it actually have a real impact on the way we build, or is it just another bit of paper that will be quickly forgotten? This feels like a very positive sign because it's pulling together the usually loose strands of how we appreciate the built environment and what needs to be done to make it work better for everyone in it, as well as the environment around us.Notes from the showLloyd Alter on LinkedInKelly Alvarez Doran on LinkedInWill Arnold on LinkedInThe UNEP page on the Declaration de ChaillotThe Institution of Structural Engineers web pageThe Buildings and Climate Global Forum web page**SOME SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**We don't actually earn anything from this, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.Follow us on the Zero Ambitions LinkedIn pageJeff, Alex, and Dan about websites, branding, and communications - zap@eiux.agency; Everything is User ExperienceSubscribe and advertise with Passive House Plus (UK edition here too)Check Lloyd's Substack: Carbon UpfrontJoin ACANJoin the AECB Join the IGBCCheck out Her Own Space, the renovation and retrofit platform for women (but not in a patronizing way)**END OF SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**

This Episode will be the first part of our Louisiana Pacific series put together when Zack and Max visited LP at their Tennessee headquarters and tried to learn everything we could manage in a few short days. This first conversation is with Neil Freidberg, a building scientist at LP, and an absolute expert in building science and moisture and thermal control in a structure. We start with the intro of what exactly a building scientist does for the other Structural Engineers that can only guess, and move into some of the detailing items and questions we should be addressing in every design. Enjoy, and feel free to write in if you have any questions for us or Neil. Reach out to us:InstagramLinkedInEmail: info@theengineeringpodcast.com

In this conversation, Trevor Acorn, a structural engineer, discusses his background and experience in the field. He explains his interest in structural masonry and how he became familiar with it through restoration work. The conversation also covers the strength and durability of masonry compared to other construction materials. Trevor emphasizes the importance of designing buildings that we love and the role of aesthetics in the longevity of structures. He provides an overview of structural engineering and the different approaches to structural analysis. The use of graphic statics in engineering is discussed, including its application in finding the shape of arches. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the efficiency of different arch shapes and the flow of forces within arches. This conversation covers various topics related to masonry construction, including load distribution in masonry walls, challenges with brick veneer, lintel design and cracking, cracks in masonry, different types of mortars, forces in masonry walls, Hyman's rules for structural masonry, using lime-based mortars, natural hydraulic lime mortars, harder bricks and mortars, steel and concrete lobbying, availability of lime in the US, and limitations of steel in masonry. The conversation provides insights into the behavior of masonry structures and the importance of selecting appropriate materials and design techniques. The conversation covers various topics related to construction materials and techniques. The main themes include hydraulic set and mortar, the longevity of steel structures, GFRP rebar, an innovative concrete floor system, and the future of engineering. Structural masonry is a field that requires specialized knowledge and experience, particularly in restoration work. Masonry structures can be more durable and have fewer vulnerabilities compared to other construction materials. Designing buildings that we love and appreciate can lead to better maintenance and longevity. Structural engineering involves designing the structural elements of a building to ensure its stability and safety. Different approaches to structural analysis, such as allowable stress design and load resistance factor design, are used depending on the material and project requirements. Graphic statics is a useful tool for form finding and understanding the flow of forces in structures, but it is not commonly used in the final calculations submitted for building permits. The efficiency and strength of arches depend on their shape and the flow of forces within them. Hydraulic set and mortar are important for quickly building walls as they allow the curing process to occur properly. Steel structures can last for hundreds of years with proper maintenance and care. GFRP rebar is a lightweight alternative to steel reinforcement and can be used in various applications. An innovative concrete floor system using graphic statics can reduce the amount of steel and concrete needed for construction. There is still much to be explored and pioneered in the field of engineering, with new materials and techniques constantly emerging.

Yesterday the government published a list of over a hundred schools in England which are fully or partially shut because of safety fears over RAAC – a type of concrete that's started to crumble. Has the government done 'a f***ing good job', as the education secretary put it? Or did it fail to heed the warnings?This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times. Subscribe today: thetimes.co.uk/storiesofourtimes.
