The Power of Water - Are you ready for the Challenge?

news

Fergus Kerr, McAdam's Engineering Director was in attendance at last week’s Power of Water launch event hosted by NI Water at the Belfast Waterfront Hall. We applaud NI Water and the NI Assembly in actively promoting this initiative and are supporting directly through our work with NI Water and indirectly through delivery of our active travel and energy projects. There are challenges ahead, but we are ready to help tackle them!

There is no time to waste in terms of progressing delivery of the initiatives within this report. Framing the challenges of achieving significant reductions in carbon usage as both possibilities and more excitingly as opportunities is surely the right direction of travel. A more self-sufficient Northern Ireland in terms  of the Energy Context will make our communities more resilient and our economy more sustainable. This should attract high energy users and like minded companies who need help in reducing their carbon footprints through use of renewables. Identifying a previously thought of waste product as a potential source of renewable energy is welcomed, but the challenges in making this a reality need to be tackled. This might require challenging the norm in terms of design, planning, procurement, and fundamentally assessing the true value of projects, but it is incumbent on us to tackle this head-on.
