#254 The Engineering Matters Awards – Sustainability

This March, the industry will gather at the Cutty Sark in Greenwich, London, for the inaugural Engineering Matters Awards. Over the next two weeks, we’ll be introducing all of the shortlisted entries. The Awards will demonstrate why engineering matters. We’ll be sharing some exciting innovations. And we will be looking at a range of ways engineers and those in related fields can have a wider impact on the world.  This episode is the first of two looking at the sustainability category. We’ll find out how drones can be used to ensure the efficiency of solar arrays. We’ll hear how Dutch engineers have tested levees to failure, to demonstrate how they can be built with efficient use of materials. We’ll learn how buildings can be made reusable, and can incorporate sustainable materials. And we’ll discover how cities can make space for efficient agriculture.
