Why not get involved?
Kyle Clough, ICE East Midlands Regional
Council Member writes…
Every year you pay to be a member of
the ICE.
What are you getting from it? Are you
a member because your company wants
you to be, is it the fancy title and letters
after your name?
During the Council elections only 195
members in the region voted - less than
10%, lower than the vote in the last
General Election.
Here in the East Midlands region, we
are looking at how we can develop the
service you get from the ICE.
We are looking at how you can get
more for your membership money.
I want to see:

More awareness of what we do by
the public

Increased influence on the direction
of ICE

Better membership benefits

More respect for what we do in
society
But these are my thoughts. What is it
you want?
In the East Midlands we have a large
number of extremely talented members.
We have a big influence on the future
of the ICE and we need to know what it
is you want your ICE to be.
This year is a big one for
the Institution. There
is a big change being
discussed on how we
manage ourselves.
What it is you want the
Institution to be?
A long term strategy is
being put together for
ICE, Eight Storey’s Gate
will be opened and One

Were you aware of this?
Do you want to be part
of this?
Kyle Clough, ICE East Midlands Regional Council Member.
The President said in his inaugural address
that there is a need to generate more
membership interest in the future of ICE.
What are you doing about this? Are you
getting involved?
We are looking at how to improve our
communications. Tell us your views.
What don’t you like about Focus, our
bi-monthly e-news e-mailed to all
members; what are your thoughts on
the number of e-mails you receive from
ICE; what do you think to Insight?
What do you like about these things?

The Localism Act: engineering a solution?
The Localism Act has received Royal
Assent and become law. Insight
explores what this will mean for
engineers in the region.
Through the act, the coalition
government aims to move from
the existing ‘top down’ style of
government, to a ‘bottom up’ system
where local councils and communities
play an active role.
ICE East Midlands considered the
subject at a breakfast briefing held
at the National College for School
Leadership, Nottingham.
Andrew Bridgen Conservative MP
for North West Leicestershire outlined
government’s position: “At the heart
of this government’s growth plan is
the localism agenda.
He commented: “There
is no doubt that

ICE welcomes High Speed 2
January saw Transport Secretary
Justine Greening formally announce
the government’s decision to goahead with the first stage of the
new High Speed Rail network
(High Speed 2).
ICE announced its support for the plans
last Summer after careful consideration by
industry experts and wider membership.
Welcoming the decision, Chairman of
ICE’s HS2 Expert Panel, Steve Hayter
commented: “Going forward, a robust and
effective high speed railway that achieves
the environmental and economic aims
must have the very strongest commitment
and support, both politically and financially.
“The government should also now
develop an integrated transport policy
that serves the nation’s future transport
needs – HS2 in itself can only form part
of that plan and ideally should not be
developed in isolation.”
Although supporting the initial
route between London and
the West Midlands; ICE urged
the government to take
into account objections
by residents who will
be directly affected by
considering alternative
viable routes and
suggestions made
by respondents to
the government’s
consultation.
they were properly reviewed
and analysed in order to capture
innovations and improvements not
previously considered.
The amended plans mean that ‘more
than half the route will now be
mitigated by tunnel or cutting’ including
in Northamptonshire where a longer
green tunnel (covered cutting) will be
constructed through Chipping Warden
and Aston Le Walls as well as a curve in
the route to avoid a cluster of important
heritage sites around Edgcote.
Steve Hayter commented: “The
government’s willingness to exploring
different engineering options to minimise
the impact on those communities
affected must be welcomed.
“Tunnelling on this scale is a proven,
effective engineering solution with
many advantages.
Engineers will now stand ready to do what
they do best - overcoming any challenges
and ensuring the project succeeds.”
A government consultation on the
second phase of the ‘Y shaped’ line
to Manchester and Leeds will begin
in early 2014 with the final route
announced by the end of the year.

Engineering the Olympic Park
November saw the Chairman of the
Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) John
Armitt (now Sir John, following his
knighthood in the New Year’s Honours)
visit the region to discuss the engineering
feat that is the Olympic Park.
Speaking at the 24th Annual joint
institutions Prestige Lecture, he
outlined the issues involved in planning
and delivering the infrastructure for
the games this Summer, which will
bring together 203 countries, 17,800
athletes and team officials and 22,000
representatives of the world’s media.
More than 600 people attended the
event at Nottingham’s Albert Hall.
This engineering project has included
delivering not only the Olympic
stadium but also the velodrome,
aquatics centre and related transport
links. More than 40,000 people have
been involved in the construction and
planning, including 457 apprentices.
Sir John also discussed the
environmental impact of the
project: 75p in every pound
spent has been on the long term
regeneration of the areas and
50% of materials involved with
the construction have been
delivered by sustainable
transport such as rail or
water.
ICE is also supporting the
ODA’s Learning Legacy
with a UK wide lecture
programme, special
journals and e-learning
resources.
Sir John
commented:
“The Learning Legacy framework is the
embodiment of a new benchmark that
has been created in delivering Europe’s
largest construction project to the
ultimate deadline and within budget.
“The scale and speed of the
coordinated UK effort to build
the venues and infrastructure is
unprecedented and the knowledge
and lessons gained during
construction will both benefit the
industry and act as a catalyst for
inward investment.”

National recognition for Stoke Bardolph!
Congratulations to Severn Trent plc who
were awarded ICE’s prestigious Edmund
Hambly medal for Stoke Bardolph
(Nottingham) Energy Crop Anaerobic
Digestion Plant.
The award is given in memory of the
late Edmund Hambly, former President
of the Institution and celebrates the
design of an engineering project that
makes a substantial contribution to
sustainable development.
The plant produces more than 15Gwh
of electricity each year to help power
Nottingham’s main sewage treatment
works, the equivalent to supplying
around 4,500 residential properties.
The project, which cost £15 million, uses
37,000 tonnes of crop silage grown on
Severn Trent’s own farmland.
The farmland is contaminated due
to historical waste recycling activities
dating back from the 1880s and this
has rendered it unsuitable for food
crop production but highly fertile for
growing energy crops.

Issue 50 March 2012
Each day 100 tonnes of maize is fed
into the plant and over 90 days the
organic matter is broken down giving
off methane.
The biogas is fed into a combined heat
and power plan to produce electricity,
saving the equivalent of 7,400 tonnes of
carbon each year.
This is the second time the project has
been recognised by ICE, having won
the large projects category in the East
Midlands Merit Awards (EMMAs) in 2011.
Martin Dent Renewable Energy
Development Manager at Severn Trent
commented: “This was such a great
project to be involved with, delivering
a UK first with producing renewable
energy in such a sustainable way.
“To receive the ICE East Midlands
Major Project Merit Award 2011 was
a fantastic accolade but then to get
national recognition from ICE with the
Edmund Hambly Medal is something
which the entire delivery team is
extremely honoured to receive.”

Nuclear important for future energy security
A new generation of nuclear power
plants are required to bridge a potential
energy gap, develop low carbon
solutions and ensure security of supply.
Roger R Parkinson Delivery Manager,
EDF Energy Nuclear New Build gave the
message at a joint ICE East Midlands/
IMechE event at the Rolls-Royce
Learning and Development Centre
in Derby, attended by more than 150
engineering professionals.
Mr Parkinson outlined the processes
involved in the delivery of the new
plant at Hinckley Point ‘C’ in Somerset
and the aspects which impact on the
site specific application of the standard
European Pressurised Reactor design.
Point and Sizewell will provide low
carbon, reliable and affordable
electricity for ten million homes.
A Preparatory Works application was
approved by West Somerset District Council
last Summer to prepare the site for the
power station construction, if approved.
“They also offer huge educational,
employment, economic benefits - in
new jobs, new career opportunities and
in new investment to support UK plc on
its path to economic recovery.”
The preparatory works include
excavating the 4.3 million m3 site
later this year – the equivalent of four
Wembley Stadiums.
Outlining the benefits of new nuclear
technology, Mr Parkinson said: “EDF

ICE supports nuclear power generation
as part of a low carbon energy mix. ICE
East Midlands Regional Director Malcolm
Jackson said “Nuclear is a vital part of
the UK’s energy mix. At present there is
no other viable, low carbon alternative
to replace baseload generation from gas
and coal-fired plants set to come offline
in the next decade.
“Development of new stations
should incorporate findings from the
Weightman review and the lessons
learned from recent international projects
which have encountered delays.”

Broad and inclusive membership
Membership advice...
Our Membership Development Officers Jane Bullivant and Ray Hulse answer your questions.
“I’m having difficulty in
understanding the Development
Objectives (DOs) requirements. What
is the best way to write them up?”
Jane answers:
This is a common question, so you are
not alone!
The purpose
of the DOs
is to ensure
you cover
the wide
range of
competencies
that a
professional
engineer
needs to
have to in order to undertake their
responsibilities as a civil engineer.
Having said this, your own experience
will be different from that of
others, so the trick is to make your
DOs personal to you and your own
development. You may have heard
me talk about writing five or six short
‘snap shots’ for each DO, focussing in
on a problem or challenge you faced
on a project.
Use actual ‘snapshots’ of your own
experience of real project work, being
specific as to;
 Project title, date and your role
 What was the particular challenge
e.g. design of first floor structure
for office building?
 What were the options e.g.
precast units, cast insitu,
composite?
 What were the advantages/
disadvantages of each option
e.g. safety of construction,
buildability, programme, cost,
innovation?
 What decisions did you make/
contribute to and why? e.g.
justify your input/decision.
 What did you learn?
You may have noticed that the DOs
lead on from each other, so you can
use the same theme or topic across a
number of DOs, e.g:






B1 asks “what is the problem and
what are the options?”
B2 says “go away and research
those options to solve the
problem.” Research can be to
address technical issues, safety,
commercial, etc,
B3 says “what is your chosen
option?” and “go away and do
it.”
B3 for a consultant could arise
from an outline design (from B2)
such as producing the detailed
design. For a contractor it could
be interpreted as ‘go and build’
the solution and evaluate its
effectiveness and potential
improvements in another similar
situation.
C1 says “plan it”
E2 says “identify the associated
hazards and mitigate against
them”
I hope this helps you, and please
do discuss your DOs with your SCE
and your Membership Development
Officer.

In 2004, the Highways Agency appointed
Balfour Beatty and URS to deliver the A46
Newark-Widmerpool Improvement Scheme.
Following the fiscal stimulus announcement in
2008, work on the 28km dual carriageway was
brought forward by four years. The project
team decided that their vision was to create
“Britain’s best built road’’.
Birstall Park & Ride, which opened in
July 2011, is a joint venture between the
neighbouring authorities of Leicestershire
County Council and Leicester City Council.
Newark bus station is a true example of
partnership working and exemplifies how,
even in periods of limited public financial
resources, major construction schemes can
be brought forward to benefit the public.
They achieved this by:

Embracing, developing and sharing
the best civil engineering practices
with the industry

Working as one collaborative team to
learn lessons and continually improve

Being innovative and exceptional in
design and delivery

Leaving behind a positive image of the
construction industry in the East Midlands.

Bilsthorpe Highways Depot is a £10 million
facility constructed by Nottinghamshire
County Council on a 10 acre brownfield
site, part of the former Bilsthorpe Colliery,
and is the largest single investment in
highway depot facilities ever made by the
authority.
Work started on site in January 2011 and
will be fully operational by March 2012, to
programme and budget.
The depot comprises an office, indoor and
outdoor training centre, vehicle workshop,
5,000 tonne salt barn, stores/small works
building, parking and outside storage.
It will provide a base for 200 staff
relocated from a number of different sites
across the county.

Providing parking for 1,000 cars, the facility
helps manage congestion as a result of
the increased in-traffic arising from the
economic growth of Leicester. Birstall Park

transport and links with an existing 1,000
space park & ride in Enderby.
The service is estimated to save more than £6.5
million across Leicester and Leicestershire over
the next 10 years from the cumulative savings
made by cutting congestion, pollution and
accidents, accruing from fewer cars on the road.
The old, outdated bus station in the

Principal contractor: Ascot Environmental Ltd
Catthorpe Viaduct is at the heart of one
of the Midlands’ key strategic highway
intersections providing the essential M6
link over the M1.
Built in the early 1960s, the existing viaduct
was deteriorating and the Highways Agency
made the decision to replace the structure
and remove the risk/maintenance liability
from the network. Skanska was appointed
to carry out the £18 million project under ECI
conditions, to build offline a replacement
and demolish the existing structure.
Innovation, best practice collaborative
working and lean initiatives delivered the
two-span steel composite structure on time
and under budget, despite a challenging
construction programme constrained by
traffic management phasing.
The Northwood Household Waste
Recycling Centre (HWRC) near Matlock was
commissioned to fulfil an area of under
provision within Derbyshire.
The facility is provided for householders to
dispose of a wide range of waste materials,
the majority of which are reused or recycled.
The successful alternative tender
eliminated the need to remove all the poor
load-bearing soils from site and stabilised
the soil by the use of a lime/cement mix.
This method gave a considerable cost
saving to Derbyshire County Council and
substantially reduced the carbon footprint
of the project.

The design and procurement initiatives
and collaborative involvement of strategic
supply chain partners on the project
helped the delivery team realise capital
expenditure efficiencies in excess of 17%.
They overcame major utility crossings,
employed no-dig techniques to cross
streams and roads and relined sections to
avoid disruptions to private gardens and
archaeological remains.
The Humanities building is part of the
university’s programme to transform the
campus landscape and set new standards
for teaching and learning facilities.
This is an innovative and efficient solution
to the brief; providing an exciting
contemporary facility in which to learn and
work, as well as being a strong statement.
Sustainability was at the forefront of the design
and construction and its success is underscored by
achieving a BREEAM Excellent rating, reflecting
the quality of the internal environment and
exemplary low-energy credentials.
Close collaboration between the team and client
throughout the project enabled the successful
delivery of this elegant low-energy building.

carriageway resurfacing and safety
improvements.
Insight
Derbyshire County Council and its contractor,
NT Killingley, constructed a new canal basin
on the Chesterfield Canal at Staveley.
The £600,000 project saw the creation of
a much needed mooring facility and the
restoration of 400m of canal.
The project provides a new road entrance
for to the canal off Eckington Road, a
new parking area, a multi-user trail and
towpath, and a new public space for
hosting events.
Careful consideration was given to the
design of the project by integrating the
new basin with restoring the historic canal;
creating a new tourist destination.

By gaining a good understanding of the
condition of the GN/GE Joint Line asset using
its in-house methodology total route valuation,
URS successfully assisted Network Rail to
optimise capital expenditure throughout
the asset lifecycle, on a route proposed for
significant upgrade and changes in use.
This has been achieved through:
Designing out risks posed to immediate
trackbed failure

Deferring expenditure on sections
that are likely to respond well to
maintenance

Prioritising poor sections of track in a
maintenance strategy

Recommending further investigation
on potential maintenance liability
sites so failure mechanisms can be
addressed.

The scheme is for the on-line replacement
of an existing Sewerage Pumping Station
within a restricted footprint in a residential
neighbourhood.
Customer care was paramount, and the
solution developed focussed on mitigating
customer impacts, including reduced
construction works at the site through the
use of off–site prefabrications.
The storage and pumping well were
combined in a shaft within a caisson, with
reduced excavation and cart away, no
concrete surround or engineering backfill
and reducing traffic movements. The precast valve chamber was fabricated off site
as an integral of the caisson, enabling it to
be installed in a single day.
Having successfully completed the
Waste Water Treatment projects at both
Minworth and Stoke Lyme Valley for
North Midland Construction, Van Elle were
approached to discuss possible design and
installation options for the piling at Stoke
Bardolph, a huge plant on the east side of
Nottingham.
The project consisted of 1056No. 350mm
diameter piles with a single bar and 3.6m
rock socket for a new eight lane aeration,
Activated Sludge Plant (ASP) and 8No. Final
Settlement Tanks (FST).
NMCNomenca were contracted to design
and build a new integral rotating biological
contactor (RBC) for Severn Trent Water
(STW) to replace an existing asset that had
reached the end of its working life.
Through close liaison and cooperation
the team constructed a new plant with
a 25 year mechanical and electrical asset
life in very challenging circumstances.
Improvements to the site and access
reduced the Health and Safety risks for
STW, the Environment Agency and the
general public.
The impact on the environment and the
restraints imposed by the third parties
were satisfied through excellent customer
liaison.

Adapting to climate change application
Fatal 4 project
Principal research organisation: URS
Principal research organisation: Nottinghamshire
County Council
Projected future climate change is
expected to affect the design, construction
and maintenance of buildings and
infrastructure, as well as the natural
environment.
To help its clients understand the likelihood
and magnitude of climate change risks
and opportunities related to their assets,
projects and services, URS has developed the
‘Adapting to Climate Change Application’
(ACCA).
Using the information provided by this
tool, organisations can develop prioritised
responses to reduce risk and maximise
opportunities.
Understanding and managing these risks
and opportunities allows organisations
to address the legislative, economic,
environmental and social drivers to climate
change and ensure long-term sustainability.

Nationally, over 90% of crashes involve
human error, yet little quantitative research
has been carried out to assess campaigns
aimed at changing people’s attitudes to
driving.
The Fatal 4 campaign involved road safety
practitioners in the East Midlands working
to change attitudes to the four main
causes of serious crashes in the region.
The campaign tackled “drinking and
driving”, “speeding”, “mobile phone use”
and “failure to wear a seat belt”.

This has facilitated effective targeting
of works, whilst avoiding unnecessary
costs, minimising damage to the asset
and potential disruptions to the live rail
network and the travelling public.
As a result of the campaign, drink/driving and
speeding reduced by 1-2%, mobile phone

maintenance
Principal research organisation: Arup
Principal research organisation: URS
This project is presented as an exceptional
example of how cold recycled bound
materials (CRBM) are being developed for
airfield pavements.
URS has developed an innovative
application that measures the whole
life cost and whole life carbon footprint
of alternative pavement maintenance
strategies over a 60 year analysis period.
Arup, Tarmac, BAM Nuttall, Babcock
Dyncorps, and Defence Infrastructure
Organisation (DIO) Professional Support
Team (PST) Airfields successfully developed
the material using laboratory and site
trials. The successful, collaborative research
was trialled and implemented in the
refurbishment of RAF Marham’s southern
taxiway.
The project delivered the sustainable use
of 60% asphalt arisings materials as a new
pavement structure using ex-situ cold
recycling of the old bituminous and concrete
pavement layers. The project achieved a
CEEQUAL Excellent score of 93.5%.
Road authorities are currently faced with
the challenge of reducing their carbon
footprint at a time when many also have
to cope with reduced budgets due to
the economic climate. When considering
alternative maintenance options, those
with the lowest capital or whole life cost
are not always those with the lowest
carbon footprint.
Understanding the relative cost and carbon
impact of alternative design options is,
therefore, critical to managing these
competing demands.
This year has seen a record
number of entries to the EMMAs
with 31 received over all four
categories.
2011 saw us receive 19 entries.
Malcolm Jackson, Regional

commented: “I am delighted
that the East Midlands Merit
Awards has attracted a record
number of entries this year.
“The EMMAs recognise
excellence in the civil
engineering field and the fact
that we have received so many

The Boston Level Crossing upgrade, led
by Lincolnshire County Council Highways
Alliance was a project to widen two
level crossings as a key element of the
Boston Transport Strategy – a package of
improvements developed as a solution
to exceptional community pressure for a
bypass.
Designed to mitigate adverse effects
of the flood defence scheme in
Nottingham, this project provided 1:100
year standard of protection in Burton
Joyce village, including: construction of
a flood embankment between the Crock
Dumble pumping station and the railway
level crossing. The tie-in with the level
crossing was achieved by construction of
a reinforced concrete wall and precast
concrete kerbs.

Fiskerton Sluice is 11km east of Lincoln and
falls within the River Witham Catchment
Flood Management Plan (CFMP) December
2008.
In addition to the sewer rehabilitation
works, three other major items of work
were scheduled during 2011, these were
a new water pipeline for Nestle, an
electricity cable installation by Electricity
Northwest, and planned resurfacing of
traffic sensitive routes by Derbyshire
County Council.
The sluice retains water levels for navigation
in the River Witham and has a minor role in
helping to manage flood risk.
These works had to be planned and coordinated in partnership with several
contractors, the Highway Authority and the
local community to minimise disruption to
traffic and also have minimum impact on the
town and its tourists.

over a hundred years old, it was in need of
upgrading.
Severn Trent co-located a core team made
up of its own staff, Atkins and Laing
O’Rourke. The brief was to develop a
clear understanding of existing DVA
performance and ensure effective
definition and integration of proposed
upgrades and to maximise the existing
assets while producing a substantial
efficiency saving against Severn Trent’s
AMP5 business plan.
The DVA team developed a series of robust
and innovative solutions while producing
savings of 27.5%.

The Lincshore project reduces flood risk to
more than 30,000 homes and businesses,
19,000 static caravans and 35,000 hectares
along a 20km stretch of the Lincolnshire
coast line between Skegness and
Mablethorpe, providing a standard of
protection of 0.5% AEP (1 in 200) event.
In 2011, 568,000m3 of sand was pumped
onto the beaches to reduce the risk of
flooding by reducing the impact of waves
and tides on the flood defences.
The sandy beaches created ensure this
section of coastline remains a popular
holiday destination and supports the local
economy.
The total cost of the project in 2011 was
£7.1 million.
