Best practice in transport

ICE actively promotes best practice across the world of civil engineering and the Transport Expert Panel has compiled a list of best practice documents and guidance notes related to this specialism.

These documents represent current best practice for civil engineers, and will be updated as and when further examples or new practices are identified.

If you would like to submit further documentation for consideration for inclusion on this list, or have any questions, then please contact adam.kirkup@ice.org.uk.

Please note that the opinions expressed in best practice publications appearing on this website are solely the opinions of the respective authors, and do not represent the views or advice of the Institution of Civil Engineers.

Culvert design and operation guide

A culvert provides the means of allowing infrastructure to cross a watercourse. Culverts are superficially simple structures, but they have the potential to restrict flow (causing flooding), and to adversely affect the aquatic environment. This guide replaces the Culvert design manual published ....
