Women in construction: Bryden Wood celebrate International Women’s Day

Embodied carbon refers to the carbon emissions generated by a building over its lifetime, including the processing, manufacture and distribution of building elements, the construction itself, the use of the building, the end-of-life scenarios and opportunities for reuse and recycle.. What does net zero carbon mean?.

There are enough examples of extremely great women out there who are doing some really really great things, that people don’t see it as men and women, just your colleagues, and that’s where we’ve needed to get to and I think that’s where we’re at.. To a young woman considering a role in engineering, I would say, ‘do it.’ It will take you wherever you want to go.If you want to stay local to your area, you can.

There are enough opportunities out there to stay local.But, if you want to travel the world, it will also give you that ability.You can make it however you want.

There is enough diversity within the industry to allow people to thrive in all different aspects.. What makes Bryden Wood different is that they aren’t afraid to try things.They aren’t afraid to rip up the rule book and say, ‘Why are we doing it this way?’ That’s what I like.

I like the way that they will look at something and say, ‘Right, ok. How can we make this better?’.

Also, with the DfMA aspects - making sites safer, making it so that pieces of the F frame for example...are lightweight and can be easily put into place (that it can be built like an IKEA piece of furniture on the deck and lifted in), that’s what I like.Facilitating contact with family and society.

A normalising environment.Appropriate levels of autonomy, while recognising the need to maintain prisoner and staff safety.

Importance of mobile and static technology.Green, clean, tidy spaces.
