Civil Engineers play a pivotal role in shaping our future and are fundamental to all aspects of the built environment from the design and construction of iconic structures to the provision of underground services. Within this broader field, the railway sector is increasing in significance, with many major projects underway and planned. At Birmingham, our staff and students are working on a diverse range of projects. In fluid mechanics, we investigate topics ranging from the wind effects on transportation system, to the flooding of rivers; current geotechnical engineering projects range from developing 'intelligent' tunnels to cleaning up contaminated land; and in structural engineering our students are designing a variety of iconic structures as well as investigating and implementing the sustainable construction technologies of tomorrow.
