Overview
The Centre for Resilience in Environment, Water and Waste (CREWW) has been established to undertake research into some of the most pressing environmental challenges, namely how we can manage our precious natural resources in ways which are sustainable and resilient in the face of climate change and population growth.
The centre's current projects include upstream thinking, microplastics, groundwater infiltration risk mapping, combined sewage overflow (CSO) and stormwater overflows discharge impacts, nature for climate change, Peatland Grant Scheme (NfCPGS), and Catchment Systems Thinking Cooperative (CaSTCo).
The tour will include a presentation from Josephine Butcher, CREWW programme manager and an introduction by Sally Walters, discipline lead at Stantec and ICE South West regional chair and Meg Ginsberg, ICE South West future leader.
The event is tailored for early career professionals in civil engineering who are eager to expand their knowledge, network with experts, and explore innovative solutions in environmental resilience within an award-winning facility.
We recommend you book early as this tour is a rare opportunity for a guided visit to CREWW.
The tour is self-free and fully accessible with accessible toilets on each level.
Tea and Coffee will be provided.

Meg Ginsberg
Meg Ginsberg has forged an inspiring career after facing significant personal and professional challenges. Born in Guildford and now based in Devon, Meg became a mother during the pandemic and navigated multiple surgeries that left her a wheelchair user by the age of 18. Originally pursuing a career in nursing, she shifted to project management, completing an apprenticeship and soon to start a degree apprenticeship at Exeter.
Passionate about inclusivity, Meg launched "Construct Ability”, an initiative to help disabled people enter and thrive in construction and engineering.
With sights set on becoming an engineer herself one day, her unique perspective as a wheelchair user drives her mission to make the industry more accessible, adaptable, and diverse. Meg is proud to be part of an essential industry and hopes to continue changing perceptions and driving meaningful change.
Meg also volunteers as an ICE South West Future Leader, supporting the work of the ICE South West Regional Committee.
