New Steel Piling Group chair David Coyle discusses updating steel piling guidance documents in light of new case studies and the importance of the sustainable reuse of steel piles.
Ciria has partnered with RSK Geosciences to prepare guidance on the management of geo-environmental and geotechnical risk in land development arising from climate change and extreme weather events.
In his latest student editor blog, Jonathan McDonald highlights the overlooked importance of chalk in engineering, including in key projects like the Channel Tunnel and offshore wind farms.
Current regulatory requirements in England and Wales mean that many excavated materials are classified as waste, placing hurdles in the way of reuse, as opposed to disposal to landfill. RSK Geosciences director and SiLC chair-elect Tom Henman argues that this is a barrier to sustainable development and pathways to net…
