Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delineates the formation of the Institution of Civil Engineers under the stewardship of its first President Thomas Telford. The formation of the ICE was propelled by the advent of the steam engine and the necessity for the development of reliable infrastructure that could propel England into an industrial powerhouse and support the military. This book examines the role of the ICE, through its collaboration with prominent engineers and inventors like George and Robert Stephenson, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and John Rennie, in pioneering construction methods, railway systems, and water and gas utilities. It details how the ICE established the benchmark for professional standards, training, and ethics for the Civil Engineering profession while profoundly influencing the growth of the British Empire. The book concludes with the supplemental charters and the 1898 revisions that remain the foundational documents that govern the ICE to this day.
