This year we’ve once again 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.
In addition, hear what the next generation of professionals are working on in events and open departments at the leading engineering faculties at London universities; UCL, Kingston University, LSBU and Brunel
Highlights include:
major transport and infrastructure at London King’s Cross Station, Emirates Airline cable car, Canary Wharf Crossrail Station Construction Site, and the proposed new airport for London on the ICE Hoo Peninsula boat tour

Olympic Park legacy with the boat tours of the perimeter of the Site with London Legacy Development Corporation, plus events at Hackney Wick’s White Building. With the Olympic and Paralympic Games over, this summer has seen a renewed fascination with London, and the legacy of the games for East London is hugely important. A film 'Engineering the Olympic Park', produced by ICE London includes interviews with key Olympic Delivery Authority figures responsible for the construction of the park, and features fascinating time-lapse filming of the park’s construction.
