The latest episode of The Engineers Collective podcast is out now.
Featuring Heathrow West chief executive Carlton Brown, the latest episode of NCE’s podcast is hosted by editor Claire Smith and features editor Nadine Buddoo.
Brown reflects on the Court of Appeal judgement on the current Airport National Policy Statement being ruled as unlawful, throwing Heathrow’s expansion plans into doubt and talks about how his firm’s plans can meet the expansion needs and address the environmental issues too.
Recorded before the current Covid-19 restrictions impacted on air travel, Carlton discusses whether the court decision on Heathrow will have a major impact on other airport expansion plans in the UK too.
As well as talking about the Heathrow decision and speculating on the impact the ruling might have on other projects, Claire and Nadine take a look at the recent Budget and results it has delivered for infrastructure.
The Engineers Collective hosts also consider the longer term issues the nation needs to tackle following extensive flooding in the UK in February and the need to face up to the reality of climate change when designing and planning civil engineering infrastructure.
