The exhibition
For ICE's 200th anniversary we celebrated the role civil engineers play in transforming lives and safeguarding our future.
Invisible Superheroes was our year-long exhibition at One Great George Street, focusing on the unsung heroes behind some of the world's most amazing engineering projects.
Using state-of-the-art technology, the exhibition brought to life the best examples of civil engineering. The unique comic book look helped to inspire the next generation of engineers and create a memorable experience for everyone who visited.

Discuss the global issues
663 million people worldwide still don't have access to clean drinking water. Poor sanitation and dirty water creates a health crisis. Civil engineers continue to come up with new solutions to help developing countries access clean water.
By 2050 the population will reach 9 billion. Civil engineers need sustainable ways to develop the built environment these people will live in, and must help minimise the impact of climate change and flooding.
12.6 million people die each year due to pollution, extreme weather and climate related disease, yet global emissions continue to increase. Civil engineers are working to deliver cleaner infrastructure and renewable energy sources.
