Pop-up infrastructure: temporary fix or here to stay? With Simeon Butterworth from WSP and Steve Tilby from Amey

In this episode of The Engineers Collective the New Civil Engineer team talk with WSP’s Simeon Butterworth and Amey’s Principal Engineer, Traffic and Transportation, Steve Tilby about the use of pop-up infrastructure to support more walking and cycling during the pandemic.The pair explain how government funding is allowing these schemes to evolve and develop more permanent changes to our lives. Together they also ask what consideration and planning goes into transitioning these temporary solutions to permanent.

The Engineers Collective is powered by Bentley Systems.

Bentley’s solution for the road industry provides construction-driven engineering to help accelerate project delivery of road networks, unifying design and construction processes from concept to completion. Road agencies across the globe use Bentley’s applications to provide better visibility for project teams, management, and owners to understand the implications of design decisions early in the process and gain improved performance across the asset’s lifecycle. The multi-discipline design capabilities in OpenRoads give road engineers the tools they need to address rigorous transportation design engineering, corridor development, and environmental engineering needs. These capabilities help road owners to mitigate risk, increase operational efficiency, and ensure regulatory compliance.
