PIANC Half day Seminar: Bringing BS6349 – Maritime Structures into the Eurocode Era	June, 15 - 2pm	ICE, London	PIANC UK	BS 6349: Maritime Structures is a suite of 8 standards covering most aspects of maritime civil engineering. It is widely used on an international basis and as such is one of the most successful British Standards outside the core structural and geotechnical standards which are now being represented by the Eurocodes. Since the publication of BS 6349:Part 8, the committee has been undertaking the much needed task of reviewing and updating the earlier parts of BS 6349, one of which has not been updated since 1988!. At the time of the seminar it will be out as the Draft for Public comment and one of the main purposes of this seminar is to draw this to the attention of maritime practitioners so that the document is properly assessed and commented on by the industry. The other objective is to raise interest in the general activities of BSI committee CB502, which is the committee responsible for developing and maintaining the BS 6349 suite of standards, and to draw attention to the wider remit that is now available to it following changes to the structure and focus of BSI in 2008. This seminar is recommended to any civil, port or coastal engineers involved in the design and planning of maritime facilities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Download flyer and registration form (.doc) - View programme (.doc) For further information, contact sophina.khan@ice.org.uk

Wave Power Development: Past, Present and Future ICE - James Forrest Lecture	June, 16 - 6pm	ICE, London	ICE	The development of wave power has mainly taken place since the mid 1970s with a significant increase in activity during the past ten years. However, there have only been a handful of successful demonstration projects at the several hundred kilowatt scale. There are a number of technological and economic challenges which are being addressed by wave power developers and the next few years should see the emergence of multi megawatt wave farms. The lecture will present the design options available to the wave power developer and these will be illustrated by historic, current and potential future examples. Particular emphasis will be placed on the research role universities have played in the development of the industry. Finally wave power will be placed in context relative to other marine renewable and its future prospects presented. For further info, visit http://events.ice.org.uk/jamesforrest
