The Institution of Civil Engineers has launched a major new consultation on its newly-published green paper programme entitled “Why do major infrastructure projects cost so much and take so long?”

The Institution of Civil Engineers has launched a new consultation on the role of infrastructure in Government’s “levelling up” agenda.

A new policy paper from the leading professional body for civil engineers is calling on the government to accept in full the recommendations made in the National Infrastructure Assessment.

A major sewage works upgrade to enhance the region’s rivers, significantly reduce odour and cater for population growth has won the prestigious ‘Greatest Contribution to London’ trophy at the ICE London Civil Engineering Awards.

The Institution of Civil Engineers has published its annual State of the Nation report - in a departure from the sector specific focus of previous reports, this year’s report looks at the impact of the government’s devolution agenda on the UK’s core infrastructure sectors: energy, flood risk management, transport, waste and water.

The Institution of Civil Engineers’ latest State of the Nation report has warned that “tough choices” must be made over prioritising future infrastructure projects and highlighted inadequate resilience to flooding and the decline in maintenance of flood defences, with water ranked as "adequate for now."

In its submission to Treasury ahead of the March Budget, the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) is urging the Government to return capital and maintenance investment in flood risk management to pre-2010 levels in real terms.
