Another workshop for Polish engineers as part of the Technical Academy activities of the Association of Polish Engineers in Great Britain.
The trip to Dubai /Abu Dhabi will provide an insight into how buildings ''in the Middle of the desert'' have been constructed over 50 years. How man's grand visions are transforming the environment and providing challenges for engineers to design the world's ...

Modern building design increasingly relies on efficient, space-saving, and high-capacity drainage solutions. One such system, siphonic roof drainage, offers a smart alternative to traditional gravity-fed systems—especially for large, flat or low-slope roofs on industrial, commercial, and public buildings.

In an era where environmental responsibility is a core expectation, building sustainability certifications have become essential tools for organizations seeking to demonstrate their commitment to green practices. Among the most recognized systems globally are BREEAM, LEED, and WELL—each offering unique methodologies to assess and certify the performance and impact of buildings.

High-rise buildings have become staples of urban skylines, delivering housing, office space, and commercial utility to millions. Yet behind their glass facades and panoramic views lies a critical, invisible system: the soil vent pipe drainage system. Ensuring proper wastewater management in vertical environments presents unique engineering challenges that demand advanced design, regulatory ...

Currently, around 23 million UK homes rely on gas boilers for heating water. While this remains the norm, things are changing fast, particularly as the UK government works toward its Net Zero target by 2050. Starting in 2025, gas boilers will no longer be installed in new-build homes, pushing the search for greener alternatives into the spotlight.

As the UK faces growing concerns over water scarcity, flooding, and stricter sustainability standards, rainwater harvesting—a form of water reuse—is rapidly becoming a necessity rather than an eco-friendly option. This essential water-saving solution helps conserve water, reduce flooding risks, and meet evolving planning regulations. Rainwater harvesting involves collecting and storing rainwater ...
