Listen Later

Another episode of The Engineers Collective by New Civil Engineer, and another week spent working from home for most of us.

This week Claire Smith, editor of NCE, is back with Rob Horgan, NCE’s news editor. The pair discuss TfL funding woes and pending spending reviews by central government.

Hammersmith Bridge and the need for turning plans into action for the benefit of the industry are the main parts of a discussion on why 2020 is not shaping up to be as expected in the world of engineering and infrastructure.

Then, the pair are joined by Tim Wood, director of Northern Power House Rail. Tim talks about what the North needs to do to ensure a lasting future of those with expert skills, and why we need to avoid falling back into a boom, bust, skills landscape.

He addresses the need to keep the North moving throughout the next decade or more of pending rail revolution, and how the UK’s economy needs rebalancing.

The Engineers Collective is powered by Bentley Systems. Around the world, engineers and architects, constructors and owner-operators are using Bentley’s software solutions to accelerate project delivery and improve asset performance for transportation infrastructure that sustains our economy and our environment. Together, we are advancing infrastructure.
