SUMMARY:Opening Lecture - 14th Brunel International Lecture
DESCRIPTION:ICE\, together with the International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure (ICSI)\, invite you to the opening lecture of our 14th Brunel International Lecture series. Building on previous series\, resilience and sustainability in infrastructure development will remain the main theme of the 2022-24 programme. \nThe individual lectures will focus on: \n\nChallenges\nOpportunities\nEngineering solutions and;\nBest practice examples specific to each region.\n\nThe opening lecture in London will provide a global perspective\, with a special focus on resilient cities\, and the importance of climate equity and support for cities in emerging economies. \nThe wider series will shine a spotlight on equitable\, sustainable\, and resilient infrastructure challenges around the world and showcase what engineers globally are doing to help address that challenge. \nMitigation and adaptation efforts are both necessary for tackling climate change impacts\, however the latter is often overshadowed by the former. It is important to tackle climate change impacts that are felt now\, whilst preparing for the future with resilient infrastructure. \nThe lectures will provide a platform for dialogue with high-profile leaders across the globe\, while focusing on practical engineering issues in tackling climate change at the local level. \nThe opening lecture will feature a keynote address (speaker to be announced soon)\, and an interactive panel discussion moderated by ICE President Ed McCann. The expert line-up includes: \n\nDr Mark Pelling\, Professor of Risk and Disaster Reduction at UCL\nDr Vicky Hutchinson\, Practice Director\, Environment for UK & Europe at Atkins Global.\n\nSave the date: Join us for the next leg of the Brunel International Lecture Series: Africa – 17 November 2022

SUMMARY:Engineering Dynamism back into Rivers Webinar
DESCRIPTION:We are currently in a flood rich period in the UK and traditionally attention is focussed on direct protection to communities at risk. More recently it has been realised that opportunities to ameliorate flood impact also exist outside of at-risk towns and cities. \nThese forms of Natural Flood Management have received considerable attention of late and this talk will review the recent approaches to better managing our rivers and their floodplains to control flood peaks and importantly to restore the natural sediment balance in river systems that sees gravels stored in the catchments above flood risk areas rather than accumulating in urban flood relief schemes as it does at present. \nWe present data from several systems in the North of England where\, through the reestablishment of natural river and floodplain processes\, large volumes of sediment are now being locked up across floodplain areas reducing the flux of material heading downstream. We also discuss the added value that these types of schemes bring in terms of biodiversity gains and climate change mitigation through the rejuvenation of functional wetlands and consequent carbon capture.

SUMMARY:Vernon Harcourt Lecture - 2022 Flood risk management - a just transition to a climate resilient future
DESCRIPTION:Join us at this year’s Vernon Harcourt lecture\, which will be delivered by Sally Sudworth\, global head of sustainability and climate change at Mott MacDonald. \nAs it stands\, entire economies still revolve around fossil fuels\, with people around the world relying on them for not just their livelihoods but also their way of life. Making the switch to a sustainable way of living won’t happen overnight\, but green infrastructure can play a huge part in creating a cleaner\, greener\, healthier world. \nAs we look forward to COP27 for climate and COP15 for biodiversity\, the debate about whether COP26 was a success continues. We\, as engineers\, are a community of professionals that is uniquely placed to do something positive. This is as exciting and rewarding as it is demanding. \nWe must safeguard the globe’s precious resources\, creating balanced outcomes against the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We have a duty to ensure\, to the best of our ability\, that the infrastructure we deliver for our clients will be resilient to the impacts of climate change from wildfires\, drought\, extremes of temperature (freezing conditions to heat domes) to flooding. But resilience is just part of it\, we also have need to factor in carbon reduction\, making a conscious effort to reduce the amount we are locking in\, both in construction and operation. \nAre we doing enough? Come along\, join the discussion in person\, and better understand your role in making a difference.

SUMMARY:The John Mitchell Lecture 2022: Thinking conceptually about groundwater problems
DESCRIPTION:Many excavations and tunnels experience problems and instability caused by uncontrolled groundwater inflows or pressures. Groundwater control measures are used to overcome these problems and create stable and workably dry conditions below groundwater level. \nA key challenge for designers is that the performance of the various techniques is strongly influenced by the hydrogeological conditions at a site. Furthermore\, the available ground investigation data may have gaps or be subject to considerable uncertainty regarding key parameters such as permeability or hydraulic boundary conditions. This means that there are some groundwater problems where analysis involves so many assumptions and uncertainties that the design outcomes are of little practical value. \nThis lecture will discuss how thinking conceptually about groundwater problems can be of great benefit when developing of groundwater control schemes\, and that a robust conceptual model helps reduce the risk of designs being developed using inappropriate techniques. Examples will be given of cases where conceptual understanding of groundwater conditions proved vital in developing practical engineering solutions. \nFind out more here

SUMMARY:Greening London's Flood Risk Management Assets\, Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Delivering flood risk management assets\, like all other infrastructure\, is going through a paradigm shift to ensure provision intrinsically supports the sustainability agenda – net zero\, circular economy\, net gain and social value. This talk looks\, via the lens of activity on the Thames\, at how current practice is changing its shape to deliver sustainably. From: \n\nstrategy level approaches of using asset management\, which echoes the premise of the architecture of the built environment – ‘the greenest building [flood risk management asset] is the one you already have’\nthrough\, programme alignment that delivers to net zero and circular economy ambitions and targets\, and\nand operational techniques such as Integrated Green Grey Infrastructure\, and Estuary Edges approaches that deliver to net gain\, and that are increasingly enabling social value benefits.

SUMMARY:ICE - Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) in Yorkshire\, online
DESCRIPTION:Landscape architects 2B Landscape Consultancy Ltd have extensive experience spanning over 30 years in Landscape Design\, Assessment and Visualisation\, with a special interest in Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS). \nSuDS design teams will be familiar with the four pillars of SuDS; quantity\, quality\, amenity and biodiversity\, but often find their clients asking – “but isn’t it going to cost more?” \nWhen 2B was asked to provide a planting plan for an already designed drainage system\, they worked with the quantity surveyor to demonstrate that a landscape-based SuDS scheme would have saved 1.5% on the construction budget\, had landscape architects been involved in time. \nJoin us for this knowledge sharing event to find out how early engagement with landscape architects on drainage design can reduce scheme costs and deliver on the four pillars of SuDS. \nThe webinar will explore how reducing costs can be achieved alongside the four pillars of SuDS by: \nReducing the need for underground tanks and pipework.\nUsing site earthworks to construct the landscaped SuDS.\nAvoiding costs associated with connections by using natural drainage pathways.\nFollowing a recap on good SuDS principles generally\, 2B will walk through the proposed landscaped SuDS Design for the University of Hull student accommodation case study\, including the detail of where cost savings were identified compared to conventional drainage design. \nYorkshire Water will provide a brief overview of the 2020 Sewerage Sector Guidance as it relates to adoptable SuDS\, and detail the types of landscaped SuDS that can be presented for adoption locally.

SUMMARY:Explore Engineering - Winchester Waterways Walk
DESCRIPTION:Winchester\, King Alfred’s capital of Wessex\, is a beautiful cathedral City\, but also has a complicated river system with various interlinked branches of the River Itchen flowing through\, and under the City. \nFollowing serious flooding in 2014 a scheme was built last year to help to manage flooding by control of the river upstream in an and allow flooding in the Nature reserve at Winnall Moors\, a SSSI. \nThe schemes involved creation of a high-risk reservoir in the city centre that is designed not to be an obvious flood defence. \nThe walk will allow you to see the new construction\, but also the nature reserve at Winnall Moors. \nCovid-19 restrictions: we will abide by Government guidance in place at the time of this event or postpone the event to a new date if necessary. Arrangements will be clarified in advance for those people signed up to the event. \nMeet at the Durngate Car-park ( North Walls\, Winchester SO23 8DW) at 15:45 for a 16:00 start and it is about 1 mile around the new works\, but we will also walk around the Nature Reserve and to City Mill\, which as an important part of the scheme making a total of about 4 miles. The scheme was a co-operation between the City Council\, County Council and the Environment Agency. \nThe total length of walk is about 4 miles. The walk is expected to finish about 18:30pm. No specific arrangements have been made for refreshments afterwards\, but there are a variety for pubs and restaurants in the City Centre. \nThis event has been organised by the ICE retired members group\, but all grades of membership\, guests and partners are welcome at this event. If you would like more information about the visit please contact Tim Kermode (tim@tk-coastal.co.uk) Attendance will count towards CPD. \nNumbers will be limited to 20 people so please book through the ICE system. There is no charge for this event.

SUMMARY:Gerald Lacey Lecture 2021
DESCRIPTION:Land and Water Management for Food Security: The Broad Picture\nRecent estimates of food demand\, based on median projections of growth\, call for a 50% increase in the global demand figure. Linearly proportional increases in the allocation of land and water resources towards increased food production are not realistic given the trends in competing uses for these resources. Besides\, our natural resource base is already giving alarm signals for increased exploitation. The pandemic also revealed the vulnerabilities in our food value chains. \nThe speaker will discuss the response options available to the policy makers\, based on the most recent figures about the state of the resources and the trends\, and both the need and the opportunities for cooperation across sectoral and disciplinary boundaries. \nClick here to find out more and register.
