ICE man cometh

Our Rajen Lavingia will be delivering a lecture you may be interested in at the Institute of Civil Engineers'(ICE) graduates and students lecture series in Glasgow where he will use his forensic engineering skills to discuss the similarities between the collapse of a building and taking a tumble!


The lecture will take place on 26th January 2015.
