In the June issue of Concrete, @Lee Bryer of the @CITB reports on how the UK construction industry is currently at a critical juncture where a ‘business as usual’ approach is no longer sustainable due to a shrinking workforce and a widening gap between project demand and delivery capacity. But this also presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape the construction workforce. This is particularly evident across concrete-intensive activities such as major civils, highways, rail and energy, where delivery depends on a relatively small pool of experienced, site-based trades and technical specialists.
Also in the June issue of Concrete, @Steve Davies of @Beton Bauen reports on a demanding overseas project – involving environmental extremes, international logistics and a tight schedule – to repair the concrete base of a national landmark in Azerbaijan.
