Bath engineer appointed to investigate Jurassic geology under the HS2 route
Dr Kevin Briggs will research properties of mudstone underlying the High Speed 2 rail route during Royal Academy of Engineering Senior Research Fellowship
Aeration of manganese in drinking water supply reservoirs
We investigate how engineered aeration of drinking-water supply reservoirs influences the transport and removal of manganese.
Dynamic Coastal Protection: Resilience of Dynamic Revetments Under SLR (DynaRev)
Researchers aim to construct a prototype-scale beach and investigate the response of the beach to a rising sea level and storms.
ACHILLES: Assessment, costing and enhancement of long life, long linear assets
This EPSRC-funded Programme Grant will examine how infrastructure assets can be better maintained and monitored for future resilience.
About us
Our research is improving our understanding of the interface between the built and natural environments. We are working to ensure the long-term resilience of our geotechnical, water and infrastructure systems. Through our postgraduate courses, we are educating the next generation of leaders to plan, construct, and protect our infrastructure.
