In this episode Steve Hadley meets Skevi Perdikou from Geofem. The company is a leader in the application of remote sensing and visualisation technology for monitoring infrastructure and geotechnical assets. This is becoming an increasingly important tool to use along with traditional and complex geotechnical models when assessing events such as dam, slope and cliff failures. Listen to hear more about the science behind these methods and projects where it has been applied.

Tarmac geotechnical manager Katherine Evans has set up Bold as Brass, a new network for women in construction, quarrying and mining on LinkedIn.
It was created so that women could have a place to network and support each other. In addition, there is a group for allies, as all genders are responsible for culture change within the industry.
“I wanted to give women a place they felt safe to discuss issues and network without toxicity; everything else has been a by-product of our members’ ideas,” Evans says.
In this episode, she is joined by friend of the podcast and Gavin & Doherty Geosolutions senior geotechnical design engineer Fiona Connor to discuss some of the issues facing women in the construction industry.

In this episode of Breaking Ground, host Steve Hadley chats to Jim Williams who works for Historic England, which advises the government on the historic environment.
Williams helps to carry out Historic England’s mission to “champion heritage to improve people’s lives” by managing a team of science advisors across the country.
It is their job to help local authority archaeologists with the scientific aspects of the archaeology that they see on a day-to-day basis. This includes offering advice on scientific dating, on different methods of geophysical surveys, how to deal with human remains and environmental sampling.
Williams notes that the historic environment and its study through archaeology is important, as it plays a key role in the planning and development process.

In this episode of the Breaking Ground podcast, Steve Hadley talks to Dr. Andi Pfaffhuber and Chris Pressdee from EMerald Geomodelling.
He learns more about the use of airborne geoscanning survey technology and its use around the world. The guests explain how the data can be combined with conventional boreholes and enable machine learning to develop sophisticated 3D models of the ground.
This offers the potential for early identification of appropriate construction techniques and infrastructure routing choices.
More information on these techniques will be made available on Ground Engineering (GE) (geplus.co.uk) and the Breaking Ground LinkedIn group. -
This special edition of the Breaking Ground podcast reviews the difficult topic of suicide and mental health. Joining Steve Hadley is Vicky Gutteridge of the OLLIE Foundation and Jim Gelder, Technical Director at Mott MacDonald.
The OLLIE Foundation provides wellbeing, prevention and intervention events, training, talks and panel events for professionals, parents and students. Their mission is to reduce the incidence of suicide, particularly amongst our young people. Through their work OLLIE aims to reduce both the stigma and the fears people have in talking about suicide.
Jim, recently took the bold step of speaking publicly about coping with depression. A move that will help remove the stigma around mental health illnesses and give others the confidence that the industry is full of supportive friends and voices.
We understand that this topic may be very difficult to listen to and support those who decide they would prefer to skip this episode. For further support please visit theolliefoundation.org or email [email protected]
