Civil Engineering Procedure

The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) is a charity and international membership organisation established to ‘...foster and promote the art and science of civil engineering’

Civil Engineering Procedure was first published by ICE in 1963, providing a guide to the stages of work for civil engineering projects such as the design and construction of bridges, tunnels, roads, railways and so on.

The sixth edition was published in 2009 and included updates describing the principles of Public Private Partnership (PPP) and Private Finance Initiative (PFI) projects as well as the emergence of Early Contractor Involvement (ECI).

The seventh edition was published in 2015/16, and included amendments to reflect the introduction of the 2015 CDM Regulations, the NEC3 contract and building information modelling (BIM). It also emphasised the role of civil engineers in building sustainable economies.

The eighth edition, published in October 2020, contains updates including coverage of recent initiatives to improve project and programme delivery, the latest updates to the NEC contracts, and additional case studies that provide insights into real-world practice.

It is a relatively compact book of just 208 pages, which introduce, describe and explain the stages of work for civil engineering projects from concept and promotion through to completion and operation. It is an essential reference guide for students of civil engineering and related disciplines and graduate engineers.

Its contents include:

• Concept and promotion.
• Feasibility studies.
• Procurement and contract strategy.
• Design and Building Information Modelling (BIM).
• Risk management and health, safety and welfare.
• Planning and control of construction.
• Construction management organisation.
• Testing, commissioning and handover.
• Operation, maintenance and asset management.
