Welcome to the PaCE website. The scope of the PaCE is focused on the School of Civil Engineering and undertakes research in  all aspects of the built environment in which the presence of pathogens influences design. From water treatment, solid waste to airborne transmission of disease all present problems tackled by members of the PaCE. The team includes academics from a broad range of engineering disciplines as well as bio-chemists and microbiologists.

Flood Risk Management is a major research topic of PaCE with a considerable amount of work being undertaken in the institute. Development of improved numerical techniques for flood prediction is a strong area however it is important that these models are understood and interpreted in the most useful ways by both engineers as well as policy makers. Method to assure this are being investigated by members of PaCE in conjunction with the Sustainability Research Institute (SRI) and the Institute for Resilient Infrastructure (iRI) within the University.

Barbara Evans speaks at WSSCC's Global Forum on Sanitation and Hygiene discussing the world's sanitation challenges.

The focus of the research includes ...
