  • Strategy Formulation Methodologies for Aerospace Companies Leveraging IVHM Enabled Service Delivery Systems

    Introduction The growing demand for affordable, reliable, and environmentally sustainable aerospace transport emphasises the need to extend the lifetime of costly equipment while ensuring operational safety. In this context, Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM, the collection and analysis of on-board data, and the use of a digital twins, enables aerospace companies to propose and deliver IVHM enabled services and solutions. Such services and solutions delivery constitute a strategic objective for companies operating in the sector. This article describes a collection of complementary methodologies for formulating strategies for IVHM enabled aerospace service and solution delivery (Feiler et al., 2010) (Feiler et al., 2010; Wibowo et al., 2016). The European Commission Flight Safety…

  • In-Building and Private 5G Networks: Investment Considerations

    Investment decisions for in-building connectivity and private 5G begin with a practical question: what service or operational need must the network meet? My 18 years of experience in telecommunications span radio network planning, infrastructure investment planning, and implementation coordination for in-building and transportation connectivity projects. This experience has shaped my interest in how technical requirements, delivery constraints and long-term costs come together in an investment decision. As part of my continuing professional development, I explored selected publications on private-network economics and feasibility. Below, I distinguish their findings from my own interpretation of how they can inform engineering practice. Define the service requirement first In-building…

  • Josie Harries discusses how Domino is working to increase support for women in the workplace

    Encouraging women to choose careers in STEM subjects has been top of the agenda for many years – but what fresh ideas can you introduce within the workplace to attract and support female employees? At Domino, we are committed to improving the gender ratio in leadership roles within a business to 40% by 2030. This target, endorsed from Board level down, now stands at 25%, from a starting figure of 18%. Support networks Recently we re-launched our Women@Domino global network to promote inclusion within the business and facilitate the sharing of ideas and experiences, as well as networking, mentoring, events and training. Gender was also one of three key areas in our new Inclusion & Diversity strategy. The network is not limited to female employees; male colleagues are encouraged to participate…

  • Road to Engineering event introduces children to the world of engineering

    BAE System's Submarines Academy for Skills and Knowledge (SASK), Barrow-in-Furness successfully hosted the 6th Road to Engineering event which took place over three action-packed days. Over 200 children from the Furness area participated in the event which aims to inspire future careers in Engineering. This year's theme was 'Adapt and Change' following the British Science week theme. Supporting the event were the Institution of Engineering and Technology, the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, Barrow District of Associate Engineers and the Royal Institute of Naval Architects who contributed valuable insight, merchandise and STEM packs for schools. Stephen Rowe, Project Director of Engineering Transformation said, "It was a privilege to attend the Road to Engineering event and…

  • H&MV Engineering appointed as principal designer and contractor for the Thorpe Marsh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)

    H&MV Engineering has been appointed as principal designer and contractor for the delivery of the 400 kV grid connection and electrical infrastructure for the Thorpe Marsh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) – the largest of its kind in the UK and among the largest in Europe. This landmark project, led by Fidra Energy and backed by major investment from EIG and the UK Government’s National Wealth Fund (NWF), has now reached financial close with construction commencing immediately. Located on the site of the former Thorpe Marsh coal-fired power station in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, the 1,400MW / 3,100MWh facility will be capable of exporting over 2 million MWh annually, supplying clean energy to approximately 785,000 homes. Once operational in mid-2027, it will be three times larger than…

  • Pubs and licensed venues will be able to adopt digital ID age checks for over-18s

    The government has introduced new rules allowing pubs, off-licences, nightclubs and restaurants to let customers prove their age using a digital ID app on their smartphones. The new rules allow licensed businesses across England and Wales to accept digital proof-of-age IDs. However, for the time being, adoption is not mandatory, with digital checks running alongside traditional physical IDs such as passports or driving licences. Rather than using a government-issued app, customers download a certified third-party app – including Luciditi, Yoti or Post Office EasyID – officially registered under the UK’s digital verification services trust framework. The app generates a secure QR code that is then scanned by a business via a free checker app downloaded onto an existing device, such as…

  • US scraps emissions limits on coal and gas power plants

    The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalised a sweeping rollback on major climate regulations limiting pollution from fossil fuel-fired power plants. In 2024, the Biden Administration put in place strict greenhouse gas emissions standards for coal and gas power plants. However, the Trump Administration has now repealed these rules, according to an official statement published by the EPA. When Donald Trump came to power a second time he pledged to boost domestic energy production to, in his own words, “drill, baby, drill”. He has also consistently pulled away from international climate commitments, describing the Paris Agreement as a “rip-off” and famously calling climate change a “hoax”. As well as repealing the existing carbon pollution rules, the EPA statement also outlines…

  • Volvo starts series production of its 700km-range electric trucks

    The heavy-duty, long-haul Volvo FH Aero Electric is rolling off Gothenburg assembly lines, offering up to 700km on a single charge. “We are now turning groundbreaking technology into industrial reality. Starting series production of our new electric trucks is a clear proof of our commitment to lead the transformation to more sustainable truck transport,” said Roger Alm, president of Volvo Trucks. The trucks feature a redesigned chassis with new e-axle technology, which effectively frees up space to accommodate significantly more battery capacity onboard. This is combined with a megawatt charging system, which is capable of charging eight batteries from 20% to 80% in approximately 50 minutes. Electric trucks can now realistically compete on long-haul routes that have traditionally relied…
