City growth threatens sustainable development of cities. Over the past decades increased urbanization has created more pressure - not only on the suburban outskirts - but also in the inner core of the cities, putting important environmental issues such as water management and cultural heritage under …

Permeable pavements are a type of SUDS that are becoming more common to allow infiltration, to minimize runoff volumes and to treat urban water stormwater by soil filtration. However, urban stormwater runoff contains significant concentrations of suspended sediments that can cause clogging and reduce …

When a pipeline is laid on the seabed it can be exposed to hazards of ship anchors, large fishing gear or ice keels. To prevent the pipeline of being damaged, the pipeline can be trenched.
