Birse Civils (www.birsecl.co.uk - a Balfour Beatty Company www.balfourbeatty.com/) are kindly letting small groups of Deflections' members watch the demolition and ground preparation works of the new Live Sciences building.

The site has several unique problems. It is next to the Ronald McDonald House ("an independent charity which provides Home from Home accommodation, free of charge, to the families of critically ill children receiving care at the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children"), home to critically ill children with compromised immune systems. As such, dust from the demolition works has to be carefully controlled and mitigated. Also, adjacent is the University of Bristol physics department with very sensitive equipment that cannot be disturbed. A fascinating case study for civil engineers!

Date: TUESDAY 8TH NOVEMBER
Route: Roo Bar, Sasparilla, The Brass Pig, Mbargo, Bunker
Start Time: 7:30pm at Roo Bar

Welcome to all undergrads starting in 2011 studying Civil Engineering!!

Please have a browse around our site and feel free to ask questions to current students via the "Ask Deflections" or "Committee & Contact" pages.

Check back nearer to freshers week for the planned activities and details about freshers fair.

Also, a handy information pack for freshers will be posted in the FAQ section of "Ask Deflections" in the coming weeks...stay tuned and check back regularly!

Deflections spent the afternoon of May 6th 2011 helping promote engineering in the nationwide Brunel the Bear program.

The brand new Deflections website is finally live! What do you think?
