The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) has published the first issue of a new journal - Engineering History and Heritage. The journal focuses on historical projects and techniques across the spectrum of civil engineering.
An addition to ICE's leading Proceedings series, Engineering History and Heritage will provide practical information for today's engineer as well as a wealth of detailed accounts for engineering history experts. Key areas that the journal will concentrate on include safety and sustainability of structures around the world, adaptation of our engineering heritage to meet the challenges of the 21st century, restoration and conservation of civil engineering's heritage, and assessments of milestone developments in the profession. The journal will also be of particular interest to practitioners and researchers who are faced increasingly with the challenges of maintaining or adapting the world's inherited infrastructure in a sustainable way.
The journal has an international outlook, with support for the publication garnered from engineering societies in the US, Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and with members of the profession across Europe and Asia signing up to provide content.
