2 About ICE Bridges ICE ICE Flooding Bridges Why Attend Bridges are a vital component of society s infrastructure. Existing bridges must be safeguarded, and new ones are required to ensure we are able to support an ever increasing network. It is vital to look at the whole lifecycle of a bridge, and implement cost-effective solutions that ensure safety and encourage integration into the built environment. Maintaining and creating sustainable assets that decrease our carbon footprint and increase lifetime and use. The role of technology, tools and new materials that can extend service life are vital factors to be considered during planning and design, management of the asset and through to post use. ICE Bridges will bring together those responsible for the planning, design, construction, safety, maintenance, operational and post use of bridges with the wider supply chain. Enabling discussion and sharing of innovative solutions and best practice case studies that span the life-cycle of a bridge, and the issues they face today and tomorrow. The ICE Bridges 2014 conference will focus on increasing knowledge, sharing new techniques and showcasing innovation that can revolutionise bridges. Why now? The UK s population is set to increase to over 70 million by Our built environment needs to support this growth. And with events like the 2013 floods it has never been so important to ensure our bridges can withstand so called extreme conditions. As the professional body for UK engineers, it is ICE s responsibility to share knowledge and ensure engineers are educated and informed in best practice.
