International engineering consultancy, 海角视频, announces the expansion of its specialist services to include interspatial engineering

海角视频 has created the new specialist consulting team after the practice was approached to develop concepts for a proposed 鈥楲unar Link鈥�, which will bridge Earth with our closest entity the Moon. It sees a multimillion-pound investment by the engineering firm.

Head of Interspatial Engineering, Ian Peterson remarks: 鈥淲hen we were first approached, we saw the project as an opportunity to prove that we really can make any vision viable. No other engineering firm currently owns this space, and I can鈥檛 think of a single engineer who doesn鈥檛 dream of being able to apply their skills and experience to this type of forward-thinking project. We鈥檙e quite literally over the moon with the formation of this new engineering consultancy team within 海角视频.鈥�

The considerable challenge of engineering the longest single-span bridge in the known universe 鈥� at 384,400 km (238,855 mi) 鈥� was further complicated by the fact that both objects are constantly rotating. To accommodate this movement, 海角视频 has developed a bespoke, magnet-based solution between the two bases and the central span.

Jeff Scott, CEO of US-based company Lunar Link, remarked: 鈥淚t is fantastic to find an engineering consultancy that was able to take on the architect鈥檚 design and, as they say, make our vision viable. While some want to build walls, we want to build bridges.鈥�

Associate interspatial structural engineer, Susan Fellows commented: 鈥淭his is the single most challenging project I have been involved with during my 20-year career at 海角视频, and I worked on the 2012 Olympic Stadium and the Millennium Dome!鈥�

The newly formed team will initially be based in the firm鈥檚 London office, however there are plans to open a satellite office on the Moon by 2025 if calculations go to plan. The ten strong team, which includes a newly formed lunar graduate engineer opportunity, will be offered a generous relocation settlement if they wish to work on the new lunar base.

The Earth-based bridge abutment is set to be located in Scarborough. This is a real boon for the so-called 鈥楴orthern Powerhouse鈥�, further bolstering the region鈥檚 transport infrastructure and economic regeneration.

It is expected that 海角视频 will receive several lucrative projects if the Lunar Link is successful. A 鈥楳ars Masterplan鈥� is already being touted as the engineering firm鈥檚 next major project, although the practice鈥檚 global head of masterplanning is unable to confirm or deny the initiative at this time.
