RP1071- Gates, valves and associated equipment in dams – selection, operation, evaluation and repair

The UK Reservoir Safety Advisory Group has identified the need for further research and guidance on the selection, operation, evaluation, repair, maintenance and replacement of gates and Valves, and CIRIA is co-ordinating the development of a proje

Deterioration and degradation modelling of infrastructure assets

CIRIA is undertaking scoping of a proposed project on deterioration and degradation modelling of infrastructure assets.

Groynes in coastal engineering

The document would extend and update CIRIA’s existing guide, particularly in terms of maintenance and materials.

Application of Eurocode 7 to the design of flood embankments

Eurocode 7 is the EU standard for the design of geotechnical structures. Its use in public sector works became mandatory in EU member states in 2010 and it has been implemented in varying ways by member states.

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles for infrastructure asset management

The guidance will enable clients and infrastructure managers and those providing asset management services to better understand how unmanned aerial vehicles technology can be used within their organisations to improve their asset management capabilit
