ICE Flooding

Civil engineers need to be prepared as Government invests billions on the railways. The UK’s rail sector is experiencing a period of rapid growth and investment, from completion of the first high speed line and planned construction of the second, to the Crossrail project and extension of London Underground.

Many challenges exist for railway engineers adapting a network never designed to cope with the number of passengers who now use it every day. Increased services, lack of track capacity and the limited number of platforms at stations are just some of the issues that regularly cause congestion and delays for 1000’s of passengers.

ICE Rail 2014 will bring together all the major stakeholders in the rail sector, allowing for in-depth analysis and best practice case studies from the UK and abroad. It will discuss the current challenges and offer practical solutions to help equip civil engineers with the knowledge they need to deliver a transport network fit for the 21st century.
