GHD: Interlinked with infrastructure
In an interview with Manufacturing Outlook, Jonathan Edwards, EMEA Market Development Leader, points out that manufacturing relies heavily on infrastructure, particularly transportation networks, to move raw materials and distribute finished goods efficiently. Jonathan stresses that sustainable transport solutions, such as rail freight, are critical for reducing carbon emissions and that infrastructure must evolve to meet current and future demands, ensuring long-term resilience and sustainability.
By improving infrastructure, we create lasting community benefits and make our water, energy, and transport assets and networks sustainable for generations to come. It’s arguable that we have never faced greater demand and challenges on much of our critical national infrastructure, and as an industry and economy, we must rise to the test.
“When we talk about infrastructure, it’s essential to recognise that it should serve both immediate needs and contribute to long-term benefits and be sustainable and resilient to future demands. Many effective infrastructure projects are designed to achieve one or more Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) over the long run. This means that it goes beyond mere construction; it is developed with clear social, economic, and environmental objectives in mind.”
