Knowledge and Resources Round-up

Knowledge and Resources Round-up
The ICE Knowledge Hub is a great collection of project case studies from around the world, informative articles of developments in the industry, and useful guides on best practice. Below are some of the latest stories and opportunities for you to learn.
  • Energy Storage - This paper is a summary of the relevance of electricity storage at ‘utility level’ and ‘grid level’ (say 10 to 1000 MW), the technologies, the potential costs and benefits, and some issues to do with facilitating implementation.
  • Procurement, commercial and contracting key priniciples - ICE and its Procurement Advisory Group (PAG) have created a best practice guidance for client organisations. It is based on the practical experience gained from developing, assuring and implementing procurement strategies across a range of major infrastructure programmes and projects.
  • Engineering food security for the Nyakoi Women’s Co-operative - Will Smith (engineer, not actor) discusses his experience of volunteering with Engineers for Overseas Development to help construct a food storage facility for a women’s co-operative in Uganda.
  • A bridge to prosperity - delivering a structure and social value - This case study shows how social value is an intrinsic part of any project, including project purpose, design and construction, and why this is relevant to all engineers.
