London's infrastructure past, present, future
This year we’ve a special showcase of the vital role of civil engineers in building, maintaining and transforming the capital’s infrastructure and built environment, in partnership with The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). ICE is organising a series of walks, tours and boat trips to celebrate and explore innovative engineering of the past, present and future, including visits to ICE London Civil Engineering Award winning projects.
Highlights include insights into: water and sewage at Abbey Mills Pumping Station, Crossness Engines House, Thames Barrier and flood risk and King George V Pumping Station; transport transformations at Blackfriars, East London Line and London Bridge; energy at Closed Loop Recycling and SELCHP; the legacy and future of engineering up and down the Thames on special boat tours, and in the lower Lea Valley.
ICE Award Winners such as the Velodrome at the London 2012 Olympic Site or the National Tennis Centre Sports Canopy are flagged with within the listings, and the whole range of sites to visit can be seen here
Hear from engineers at many of the sites – look for the E against listings.
“Open House provides a fantastic opportunity to showcase to the wider public the vital role that engineers play in enhancing quality of life and prosperity in the capital. The ICE is delighted to be an official partner this year and we hope that our boat tours, site visits and guided walks will excite and engage a broad range of people of all ages in a better appreciation of the built environment and civil engineering.”.
