SoPHE young engineers flushed with success after WaterAid win l Young engineers on way to Bangladesh with WaterAid Catherine Minor, from URS, plus Jonathan Piatka and Emma Hughes, both from Yorkshire Water, won the Society of Public Health Engineers Young Engineers Award 2014, at the SoPHE annual dinner, in November. The challenge, set in conjunction with WaterAid, was concerned with the impact of climate change particularly flooding on the fringes of developing cities, such as Bangladesh. During such floods, one of the most significant disruptions residents face is access to water and sanitation, when toilets are inaccessible or when treatment facilities fail. Entrants had to adapt existing system technologies so they would function in flood conditions, be accessible and prevent contamination, while taking From left, Jonathan Piatka, Emma Hughes and Catherine Minor accepting their awards from Ian Fellingham, SoPHE vice-chair and SoPHE education committee chair capital and recurring costs into account. Judges were impressed with the standard of entries, and four teams were shortlisted to go forward to the final judging process. The winning team demonstrated its flood-planning expertise and research into disaster risk reduction work in developing countries. Their proposal highlighted a number of technical, social and institutional solutions, which will bring much value to WaterAid Bangladesh and other partners. Their scheme accounted for variation between sites and had enough flexibility to be applied to a variety of different site scenarios. The winning team will travel to Bangladesh with WaterAid, where they will experience the issues first-hand, and research the potential for implementing their design proposals into the current urban programmes. The three other shortlisted teams Anna Hunter, Joseph Miller and Calum Lawrence; The Middle East an engineers canvas The Middle East appears to be leaving what can only be described as a period of uncertainty. Gone are the days where pipe dreams became reality, or are they? Recent CIBSE Fellow Paul Crayford, associate director of Buro Happold, offers an insight into his exciting career working as a building services engineer in the Middle East. Having experienced the extreme highs of working within the world of building services design that Dubai offered, it is amazing to have come through the other end wiser, stronger and still smiling, said Crayford, who worked in the area for the last five years. The Middle East was once known for its endless supply of new, exciting projects, sustainable initiatives and commitments, and massive infrastructure projects. Fast-forward five years and the industry is in a different place. Measured construction, driven by accurate and defined business cases, has made our role even more valuable. Construction levels in the Middle East are growing year on year fuelled by the award of major global events, such as the 2020 Expo in Dubai and the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Doha so fresh and enthusiastic building services engineers are needed more than ever. CIBSE plays a major part in setting the standard, said Crayford. It is refreshing to be part of an institution so well respected outside its home country. He added: With emerging markets a plane trip away, and the chance to work on some of the worlds most ambitious projects, the question is: who wants to take CIBSE to the next level on the global stage?
