Past Presidents

The President of the Institution of Civil Engineers represents and promotes the institution and the civil engineering profession in the UK and around the world.

Some of the world's greatest and most distinguished civil engineers have held the post of President of ICE, including:

Robert Stephenson, who, together with his father George, was one of the pioneers of railway
Joseph Bazalgette, who created central London's first sewer system, saving thousands from cholera
William Halcrow, who, during WW2, designed deep air raid shelters and helped devise the 'bouncing bomb' made famous in The Dam Busters.

The first President of ICE was Thomas Telford, who served from 1820 until his death in 1834. He was awarded the office for life in recognition of his services to civil engineering.

Now ICE has a different president each year, with a new incumbent elected annually.
