Engineers deserve Olympic applause
B
y the time you pick up this magazine you may already be celebrating the fi rst gold medals of the Olympic Games. Mark Cavendish could have sprinted to victory in the men’s cycling road
race and Lizzie Armistead may have won the women’s crown. For the engineers and builders responsible for delivering the Olympic venues the race has already been won. The industry has confounded sceptics who doubted that the UK construction industry was capable of delivering something of this scale to time and budget. The Journal has covered many of the Olympic venues and infrastructure in great depth – not least July’s feature on the Aquatics Centre – but to mark the opening of the Games we have profi led some of the building services professionals who have helped to create the greenest Olympic venues ever built (page 12). There is a recurrent theme from our Olympians – that collaboration
The industry has confounded sceptics who doubted that the UK construction industry was capable of delivering the Olympics
and early involvement is key for a successful outcome. This is a familiar refrain for anybody using Building Information Modelling (BIM) and it is evident in our article on Bristol Royal Infi rmary hospital (page 32), where Hoare Lea is using BIM to bridge the gap between design and operation. Some of the more observant among you may
have noticed the editor has undergone a Doctor Who-like regeneration this month. I have taken over the hot seat from Bob Cervi and I would like to thank him for all his hard work. Bob hands over a title that carries enormous respect in the industry. It’s ‘the magazine you can trust’, one head of sustainability told me.
I intend to carry on Bob’s good work and cover the most innovative buildings with the technical rigour readers have grown used to. We will also be looking to bring you more analysis of the big issues affecting energy and sustainable building, from fracking to Part L, and we will be speaking to the most infl uential and inspirational fi gures in engineering and construction. I would also like to say how pleased I am to be working with Carina
Bailey, who has been promoted to deputy editor. I have already benefi ted from Carina’s enthusiasm and experience, and I look forward to working with her on future issues. Hopefully, we will both get to meet some of you at the fast approaching CIBSE Conference and Exhibition on 10-11 October, if not before.
