How can sustainability become simply part of good engineering? In this episode of Infrastructure Connections, Evelyn Storey, Director of Eminence and Sustainability at Aurecon, reflects on more than 35 years in engineering and how sustainability has evolved from a specialist discipline into an essential part of project delivery.
Evelyn explores why sustainability needs to be embedded across engineering practice, the growing focus on resilience and climate adaptation, and how engineers can make better long-term decisions about materials, asset life and infrastructure performance. She also shares her perspective on extending existing assets, the rise of mass timber, and the role of continuous learning in a rapidly changing industry.
Her central message is simple: sustainability is good engineering.
