This project will quantify the benefits of off-site construction

Project proposals

P3199 - Scour at bridges and other hydraulic structures - supplement

This project will review recent experience and research and capture this information in a supplement to CIRIA's existing manual on scour at bridges and other hydraulic structures C742 (2015)

P3166 - Geospatial Information Systems for infrastructure asset management

This project will focus on the available GIS systems and their capability and how this can be integrated into existing asset management strategies.

P3089 - Innovative technologies in civil engineering

This workshop aims to bring together clients and their supply chains to discuss the application and experience of a number of digital technologies.

Infrastructure data – signposting of good practice in capture, management and analysis

This new initiative will signpost emerging good practice in the capture, management and analysis of construction and other related data.

P3203 - Thrust blocks on buried pressure pipelines

This project will review and update CIRIA's 1994 guide to the design of thrust blocks for buried pressure pipelines to reflect new materials - particularly polyethylene, practices and changes to standards and codes.

P3073 - Infrastructure innovation forum

This new initiative will signpost emerging good practice in the capture, management and analysis of construction and other related data.
