Construction work on the new world class Belfast Grand Central Station is at a stage which will soon allow the public to have the opportunity to see inside Ireland’s largest state of the art integrated transport hub for trains, coaches and buses. Services will be introduced in phases with buses operating from the Europa Buscentre to move over first on Sunday 8th September. Extensive training is underway for staff in preparation for the move alongside a comprehensive testing, training and commissioning programme for the connecting rail line and new signalling technology. https://bit.ly/3Azn3g7

Graduate Civil and Structural Engineer | Department for Infrastructure, Northern Ireland Civil Service | Graduate Member of Institution of Civil Engineers (GMICE)
As part of my Graduate Trainee Civil Engineer role at the Department for Infrastructure within the Northern Ireland Civil Service, I’m excited to be working on a new river modelling project using Info Works ICM. This powerful tool is essential for creating detailed, accurate models that inform critical infrastructure decisions. Data Collection: The First Step Before we even begin building the Info Works ICM model, gathering high-quality data is essential. This includes topographical surveys, flow measurements, and historical hydrological data. The accuracy of our model depends heavily on the precision and reliability of this data. Key Parameters to Consider: When building a river model, several parameters are crucial to ensure it accurately represents real-world conditions: Hydrological Parameters: These include precipitation, evaporation, and inflow/outflow volumes. Understanding the water cycle within the catchment area is fundamental. Channel Geometry: The shape, size, and slope of the riverbed are vital for determining how water flows through the system. This requires detailed topographical data. Manning’s Coefficient: This parameter represents the roughness of the riverbed and banks, which impacts the velocity of water flow. Boundary Conditions: The model needs to account for external factors such as upstream inflows and downstream water levels. These conditions significantly affect how water moves through the river system. Time Step and Spatial Resolution: The choice of time step and spatial resolution in InfoWorks ICM can impact the model's accuracy and computational efficiency. It’s a balance between detail and practicality. Why It Matters? Accurate river models are essential for flood risk management, infrastructure planning, and environmental conservation. By ensuring our models in Info Works ICM are built on robust data and carefully considered parameters, we can provide valuable insights that help protect communities and ecosystems. I'm thrilled to contribute to this important work and to continue learning about the complexities of river modelling with Info Works ICM. #CivilEngineering #RiverModeling #Hydrology #Infrastructure #DataCollection #FloodManagement #InfoWorksICM
