The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO)’s award-winning Net-Zero Carbon Accommodation Programme (NetCAP) is already making huge carbon savings. Delivered by Reds10 in partnership with Landmarc Solutions, NetCAP has introduced the Defence Training Estate's (DTE) first carbon-negative buildings, achieving a 35% reduction in operational carbon and saving over 9,100 tonnes of embodied carbon. The Programme has already created over 3,900 new bedspaces to support Service personnel as they train for operations, providing modern facilities where they can clean their kits, shower, and prepare all in one place. We’re thrilled to have played a key role in transforming the Defence Training Estate, improving the lived experience for our Armed Forces while setting a new benchmark in sustainable infrastructure.

Reds10 is proud to announce the start of works on the second of four new Single Living Accommodation (SLA) blocks at RAF Marham, celebrated with a special ceremony on site, last week. In collaboration with the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) and the Royal Air Force (RAF) these state-of-the-art modular blocks will provide modern, energy-efficient, and comfortable living spaces for Junior Ranks personnel. Each SLA block will include 94 en-suite single bedrooms, communal areas, kitchenettes, equipment storage, and laundry facilities. Designed with sustainability in mind, they feature air source heat pumps, photovoltaic panels, and SMART building systems to maximise energy efficiency. In addition to the SLA blocks, Reds10 has also delivered Re-deployable Accommodation Units (RAUs) to address short-term housing needs. These units, offer a flexible solution that can be relocated as needed, ensuring personnel have a place to call home while the new accommodations are being built. Phil Cook, our Defence Sector Lead, shared: "Ensuring the armed forces have modern, comfortable, and energy-efficient homes is vital for them to live and thrive. It's fantastic to see the progress at RAF Marham, delivering exceptional value and innovation through industrialised construction methods."

Added to that the 140 Redeployable Accommodation Units that are going in will change the lived experience for so many. Key is the collaboration with Royal Air Force (RAF) Station and Infra, Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) and Arcadis - as a team we overcome the challenges to deliver at pace for the UK Ministry of Defence and our Service men and women.

Infrastructure Development: A Crucial Step for Exmouth’s Future   As highlighted in a recent ABC News article by Alistair Bates and Esse Deves (https://lnkd.in/gMaBAqsP), the presence of United States rotational forces in Northern Australia is set to enhance our national security and bolster regional cooperation. However, this significant development brings to light an urgent need for advanced infrastructure to support the growing demands on the town of Exmouth and wider community. At Gascoyne Gateway Limited, we understand that without proper infrastructure, such as the Gascoyne Gateway Marine Complex, Exmouth and the Gascoyne region could face serious challenges. Our marine complex is a strategic investment in the region’s future and is designed to: - Support Regional Growth: Providing essential facilities to accommodate increased defence activities and be the ‘gateway’ to the region and State. - Enhance Economic Opportunities: Creating jobs and supporting local businesses, ensuring Exmouth thrives alongside these national advancements. - Ensure Long-Term Sustainability: Building infrastructure that meets current needs while being adaptable for future developments. As we look towards the future, it’s crucial that we continue to prioritize and accelerate infrastructure projects like ours so we can fully harness the benefits of the strategic enhancements in our region. Let’s work together to build a resilient and prosperous future for Exmouth and the Gascoyne region. #GascoyneGateway #Infrastructure #Exmouth #RegionalDevelopment #FutureGrowth

The U.S. House Appropriations committee has passed a military construction spending bill that allocates $1.55 billion for projects in Hawaii. This is about 8% of the total national and worldwide military construction budget. Hawaii is home to the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, which oversees military operations in the Pacific and Asia - a top priority for the Pentagon amid tensions with China and North Korea. The military construction funds will go towards projects like a $3.4 billion dry dock at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard & IMF, replacing an outdated facility. The massive investment in military infrastructure in Hawaii comes as the state looks to diversify its economy beyond tourism, which was hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. Defense spending remained relatively steady, and some Hawaii leaders see the military as a pathway to creating more jobs and economic opportunities. This influx of military construction dollars is seen as a "generational reinvestment" in Hawaii's critical facilities to address the challenges in the Indo-Pacific region. However, it has also sparked concerns from some who believe the military should scale back its presence in the state due to environmental issues and the legacy of military occupation. #MilitaryConstruction #HawaiiEconomy #IndoPacific #ChineseInfluence #EconomicDiversity
