Aggregate Industries has proven its unrivalled technical prowess once again having played a pivotal role in the development of a landmark new solution designed to provide automated, real-time reporting of embodied carbon emissions. Formed in Spring 2022, the Scope 3 initiative aims to drive real climate action by providing detailed, scientific embodied carbon emission calculations for the first time, as part of the automated invoice process. Headed up by construction software leader, Causeway Technologies, the project, which is due for completion next year, is being developed in collaboration with Balfour Beatty, Galliford Try and Morgan Sindall, alongside Aggregate Industries as major supplier. Dr Adam O’Rourke, Causeway’s emerging technologies consultant, comments: “As the net zero mandate grows, it’s vital that construction begins to tackle embodied carbon emissions head on. Unfortunately though, embodied carbon is incredibly difficult to measure and track due to the vast variants involved – the result being a lack of confidence in the various measurement systems available with firms often overestimating it as a precaution. “This Scope 3 initiative seeks to address the challenge by developing a solution which is able to provide wholly accurate, scientifically-led embodied carbon measurement in real-time reporting across projects as part of the invoice process.” In initial tests, Causeway worked with samples of 25,000 invoices from all involved stakeholders focusing on materials with the highest carbon impact. Crucially, Aggregate Industries’ unique Your Carbon Report provided a best practice example as part of the process – the system being capable of addressing embodied carbon figures down to the line-level items such as distance to plant, plant energy and distribution. Dr O’Rourke adds: “Aggregate Industries’ carbon reporting played a pivotal role in informing some of the strategic decision-making, thanks to the sheer level of detail and accuracy. While some suppliers tend to offer a standard carbon factor metric, with Aggregate Industries the measuring covers everything from the individual components of each different product and plant through to the distance to plant, raw material values, plant energy and distribution to site – and all in real-time.” Due for a formal launch next year, the Scope 3 initiative’s new software solution will offer a credible, verifiable, efficient and scalable way to measure Scope 3 emissions in real-time, using invoice data automatically extracted from Causeway Tradex. The companies collaborating on the initiative are currently engaging with suppliers, as well as validating and testing elements of this software. The project is also being supported via a knowledge partnership with the Engineering Department at the University of Bath. Kirstin McCarthy, Sustainability Director at Aggregate Industries, comments: “Talking to our customers, we know that sustainability is a priority and that they want to take progressive action in their approach to embodied carbon. However, we also know that the current way of doing things can be daunting and difficult. “With this, we purposely developed Your Carbon Report to provide our customers with the industry’s first true ‘cradle to grave’ measurement tool so they can see the embodied carbon impacts of their material choices quickly and with ease. “We are very proud to have been so heavily involved in the Scope 3 initiative, with our tool and our technical expertise helping to shape this important solution and we look forward to helping bring it to market in due course.” Aggregate Industries’ Your Carbon Report is the very first carbon reporting tool that enables customers to access a ‘cradle to site’ assessment to calculate, track and report embodied carbon with ease. The result is that construction professionals can easily access and view exacting material carbon-emissions data for products by manufactured Aggregate Industries, thus enabling carbon-smart choices during design and procurement.

Major progress is being made on the Hope Valley Railway Upgrade, with the majority of earthworks which set the foundations for a new passing track loop between Bamford and Hathersage stations completed. On completion of the major upgrade project between Manchester and Sheffield, the passing loop will enable passenger trains to pass slower freight trains, increasing the reliability of passenger journeys. The team on the ground has completed soil nailing and regrade work at Bamford to clear the land needed for the new track and to secure the adjoining rock face. This involves drilling nails into the embankment to stabilise the ground in advance of track installation. A total of 935 nails have been installed by the team as part of the work ready for track to be installed later in the year. LINK TO VIDEO Graeme Whitehead, Senior Sponsor on the Hope Valley Railway Upgrade said: “We’re very pleased with the progress of work that the team have made at Bamford, despite challenging ground conditions”. “Reaching this milestone means that we’re one step closer to completing the passing loop and delivering benefits to passengers travelling along the Hope Valley line.” The first phase of track installation on the loop was completed in Bamford between November 2022 and February 2023. This included the construction and placement of two turnout sections of track for the loop, which will eventually meet in the middle completing a passing loop for fast trains to pass, therefore reducing delays to services. The remainder of the loop is planned to be completed this year. Elsewhere on the project, work is progressing to build a second platform and a new footbridge at Dore & Totley station. Over 2355m of track has been installed in Dore & Totley since July 2022, and work has recently started to build the foundations for the platform and footbridge. The Hope Valley Railway Upgrade is due to complete in spring 2024.
There are many expenses related to running a business. They include paying for your team members’ salaries, benefits, and so on, utility bills for office electricity, water, and the like, and many more. Among that is paying for commercial insurance. What’s commercial insurance? It’s a type of insurance coverage targeted toward companies. Commercial insurance coverage varies depending on the insurer. If your business has commercial insurance, you must pay your premiums obligation regularly to stay protected. With the high inflation rates these days, unfortunately, your company may find it challenging to keep up with high premiums. Are you tired of paying high premiums for your commercial insurance? You’re not alone. Many business owners seek ways to reduce their insurance costs without sacrificing coverage. Luckily, this post will discuss some effective strategies for lowering your commercial insurance premiums. Read on to learn more. Work With A Licensed Insurance Broker One of the best ways to reduce commercial insurance costs is to work with a licensed insurance broker. Say you want to switch to a new insurer. Licensed insurance brokers have access to multiple insurance companies. They can aid you in your quest of finding the best coverage at the most competitive price. In case you’re content with your current commercial insurance but want to lower your premiums, licensed insurance brokers can help you identify any overlapping or unnecessary coverages, which can save you money. Before working with a specific insurance broker, check their license number to verify if they’re allowed to provide insurance services in your area, membership with different commercial insurance broker associations, and the like. Shop Around For Different Insurance Options If you’re looking for commercial insurance, don’t settle for the first quote you receive. Instead, shop around and compare rates from multiple insurance companies. Inquire and get in touch with various insurers, licensed insurance brokers, insurance sales agents, and the like for information such as insurance policy terms and conditions, quote on premiums, and others. You may be surprised at how much you can save by simply taking the time to compare prices. Buy Package Policies Another way to pay for lower commercial insurance is to buy package policies. These policies combine multiple types of coverage into one policy at a much lower cost. This move is more economically sound than purchasing individual coverage separately. A clear example of a bundled commercial insurance policy your business can avail of is the business owner’s policy (BOP). It typically includes coverage for commercial property insurance, general business liability, and business income insurance. Increase Your Deductible Increasing your deductible can also help lower your commercial insurance premiums. What’s a deductible, you may ask? It pertains to the money that you’re willing to pay with your own pocket prior to your insurance kicking in. By picking a higher deductible, you’re assuming more risk, which can result in lower premiums. Focus On Safety Did you know that focusing on safety can help reduce your commercial insurance costs as well? Implementing safety measures in the workplace like employee training, regular maintenance, and safety equipment can help prevent accidents and injuries, resulting in much lower premiums. Classify Your Workers Correctly Make sure your workers are classified correctly. Misclassifying workers as independent contractors instead of employees can result in more expensive insurance premium payments. Be sure to review your worker classifications regularly to ensure they’re accurate and adhere to your current commercial insurance terms and conditions. Pay Your Commercial Insurance Premiums In Advance Paying your premiums in advance can help lower your commercial insurance costs. Many insurance companies offer discounts or other incentives to business policyholders who pay their entire premium upfront. Inquire with your insurer about their policy regarding advanced premium payments and how your company can take advantage of it. Review Your Coverage Regularly It’s important to review your commercial insurance coverage regularly to ensure it meets your needs. As your business grows and changes, so do your insurance needs. Make sure your coverage is up-to-date and reflects the current state of your business. Get your whole team onboard to figure out how insurance helps them with their work and how it can be used to forward their goals. In Conclusion These days, many businesses find themselves having a hard time meeting their premium payments. Luckily, an entrepreneur like you need not worry about paying for an arm and a leg for your business’ insurance coverage. There are many effective strategies for lowering your commercial insurance costs. By working with an insurance broker, shopping around, buying package policies, increasing your deductible, focusing on safety, classifying your workers correctly, paying premiums in advance, and reviewing your coverage regularly, you can reduce your premiums without sacrificing the quality and scope of coverage that you get from your commercial insurance provider.

The 21st century has seen a huge surge in air travel, and airports have had to adapt to the changing needs of travelers. To meet these demands, airports are now incorporating innovative designs that make them safer, more efficient and more comfortable for passengers. From modular terminals, which allow airports to quickly adjust their layout to accommodate larger numbers of passengers or new services to the utilization of automated systems such as self-check-in kiosks and baggage drop-off points to reduce wait times and improve efficiency, airports are embracing new technologies to make air travel better. Aviation professionals are also using sophisticated software like flight watch, a premium flight tracking and monitoring system, to gain full operational awareness of their fleet in real-time. This article will explore these innovations and other cutting-edge technologies like biometric technology for security checks, facial recognition for boarding and a shift toward sustainability as a growing number of airports begin to incorporate green technologies into their designs, such as solar panels. Biometric Identification Offers Enhanced Protection at Airports Gates Biometric identification is a form of technology that uses physical characteristics, such as fingerprints, facial recognition and iris scans, to identify individuals. This technology has been used in airports for years to help enhance security and reduce the risk of identity theft. By using biometric identification at airport gates, travelers can be identified quickly and accurately without having to present any form of identification. This helps speed up the process of getting through security checkpoints and reduces the chances of someone entering the airport with false credentials. Additionally, biometric identification offers enhanced protection against identity theft since it is much harder to forge or replicate physical characteristics than it is to copy a passport or driver’s license.
