Briefing: The ICE’s Conservation Information Resource for Civil Engineers

The Conservation Information Resource for Civil Engineers (Circe) is a new resource available on the Institution of Civil Engineers’ (ICE) website. It provides access to a wide range of information and guidance for civil and building engineers working on conservation, restoration and extension of the life of existing structures and is available to both members of the ICE and non-members. The paper summarises the reasons why Circe was developed and the needs it is intended to satisfy. It describes how the resource was developed and then describes its content. The paper concludes with thoughts about how the resource might be maintained and developed in the future.
