A society publisher that makes a difference
 
Established in 1836, ICE Publishing is the publishing arm of the Institution of Civil Engineers, a not-for-profit, professional membership body supporting over 95,000 civil engineer members around the world.  As a society publisher we provide important financial contribution to the ICE, supporting its charitable mission to ‘benefit society and advance the field of civil engineering’. 

Breadth of civil engineering subjects covered
  
At ICE Publishing, we publish a wide range of civil engineering and built environment books in various formats that are written with the practitioner in mind and contribute new information to the existing body of knowledge. Providing complete coverage of all major disciplines in the field, we publish titles covering recent developments and emerging subject areas, including the principles and practice of BIM, innovations in infrastructure, smart cities, structure and building design, flood management, professional practice, handbooks to NEC and FIDIC contracts, and modern construction methods, plus many more.

What some of our authors think about working with us 

The support of the publisher has been key in helping me get all four books off the ground. Help from commissioning and production editors, copy readers, proofreaders all helped to fine tune the finished products. Read full article 

Patrick Waterhouse, Construction Adjudicator 

I must say that you handled the entire project, involving four reasonable size books, extremely well in every respect, making it possible to complete the project in such a short time. I think that the concept of producing books in this manner can be quite an effective tool in knowledge transfer and I enjoyed being part of it.

Thank you for making an effort to accommodate my wishes. I have looked through them and I think that the proofs look very nice… Thank you for the excellent collaboration.
