NEW PROJECT FOR THE GENERAL DIRECTORATE OF ROADS   On June 10, we signed with the General Directorate of Roads, in UTE FHECOR INGENIEROS CONSULTORES, S.A. - VSING INNOVA 2016, S.L., the contract for the DRAFTING OF THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE THIRD LANE OF THE A-4 HIGHWAY. SECTION : CONNECTION WITH SE-40 - CONNECTION WITH AP-4 IN DOS HERMANAS (SEVILLA) with an execution term of 18 months.   The works will consist of the drafting and preparation of the necessary documents to define in detail the works to be carried out to increase the capacity of the A-4 highway with a third lane between the junction with the SE-40 ring road and the junction with the AP-4 and N-4/A-4 freeways.   One of the most important aspects of the project are the structures of the section, which are formed by the viaduct of the Lower Guadalquivir Canal with a maximum span of 36 m and a single isostatic span and six overpasses with spans of about 31 meters.   This new award adds to FHECOR's extensive experience in this type of work, with contracts with the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility (former Ministry of Public Works) for more than 25 years.

HS2 (High Speed Two) Ltd has today started the hunt for a contractor to lead the enabling works programme for the new Automated People Mover (APM) at Interchange Station in Solihull. HS2 expects to award the enabling works contract early next year, with works to commence in the spring. This is the first package of work to be procured for the £65m elevated mass transit system build. Two further procurement opportunities will also begin next year, as HS2 invites suppliers to tender for the contract to design and supply a transport system and the 25-year transport operation and maintenance contract. Market engagement will also continue throughout 2024 as HS2 steps up its search for a supplier to deliver the APM’s infrastructure components. Once complete the transit will transport thousands of passengers, every hour, between Interchange Station, the National Exhibition Centre , Birmingham International Railway Station, and Birmingham Airport. The £2m enabling contract is being procured through the government’s Crown Commercial Services Framework, which enables registered suppliers to bid for the work. The APM enabling works programme includes topographical surveys, ground investigations and utility surveys. Sean Butler’s Senior project manager - the APM, said the enabling works would take around 12 months to complete the works, paving the way for main construction which includes four stops, a 2.2km long viaduct, and a maintenance facility. The successful bidder for the enabling works contract will deliver a unique programme of work that spans the entire route the APM will follow, crossing the M42, West Coast Mainline, Birmingham Airport and Pendigo Lake. Findings from the ground investigation works, topographical and bathymetric surveys will help to inform the existing design for the APM and future works packages.

Atlas recently attended the 2024 Design-Build (DB) for Transportation/Aviation Conference in Cincinnati to connect with some of the nation’s top delivery partners — and gain insights into today’s burgeoning DB industry. Research indicates that DB is on a growth trajectory, projected to represent over 47% of spending by 2026, translating to $1.9 trillion in construction over a 2022-2026 forecast period. The West-South Central, South Atlantic, and Pacific regions are set to dominate DB spending, with highway/street, educational, and manufacturing sectors taking the lead through 2026. Alone, transportation will account for 18% of DB spending. These findings highlight the growing prominence of DB, especially progressive DB, as a preferred procurement method in managing cost uncertainty in a volatile market environment. With extensive expertise in DB, Progressive DB, and CMAR/CMGC — and having completed 118 Alternative Delivery (AD) projects nationwide totaling $80 billion in construction costs — we are proud to be a leading partner in Transportation and Infrastructure AD. Thank you to our colleagues at the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) for hosting us! 📷 From left to right: Mark Micikas, Brian McGowan, Jacob Beedle P.E., CFM, and Harshal Desai Explore our DB footprint here: https://loom.ly/w2kNmU4

The Q4 RICS-AACE USA Construction has now been released and can be found on both the RICS and AACE websites. https://lnkd.in/es6rqdYv The key points are: Infrastructure workloads remain particularly strong Profits picture appears to be stabilizing Labor shortages still a problem, particularly for skilled trades Shoshanna Fraizinger, CCP, PMP, AACE International 2023-24 Past-president noted "I found the Q4 2023 RICS-AACE Construction Monitor to reflect a cautiously optimistic outlook for our industry. Despite persistent financial and labor challenges, there appears to be a stabilizing trend that, coupled with the apparent resilience in facing higher borrowing costs and labor shortages, highlights our sector's adaptability. This data is pivotal for shaping our industry's decision-making and future strategies, and it is rewarding to see the value brought to the global sector through the efforts of RICS and AACE members."

There is no silver bullet to achieve carbon neutral and eventually carbon negative concrete. It will take death by a thousand cuts, all throughout the supply chain. But at Ozinga we’re convinced it’s doable and long before 2050. Our target is 2030 but it will require making incremental improvements every day until then. A goal has a much higher success rate when it is stated publicly. So that’s what we’re doing. #embodiedcarbon
