“…Other publications devoted to dams include Bulletins and Congress Proceedings produced by the International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD, 2013) and the official publication of the British Dam Society titled Dams and Reservoirs (2013). These kinds of publication do host historical research, but generally, historical engineering studies are dispersed throughout the construction and engineering literature (see, for instance, Ashurst, 1990;Pheng, 2001;Potts, 2009).…”

The Elan Valley estate is situated within mid-Wales, Great Britain. It represents a watershed of approximately 70 square miles and accommodates four dams built at the turn of the twentieth century, along with another completed in 1952. Combined, these supply the city of Birmingham, England, with a significant proportion of its fresh clean water. The dams' engineering design and construction represented a project that overcame huge logistical, technical and management challenges and in so many ways, therefore, was contemporaneously innovative, imaginary and monumental. That project is qualitatively analysed through extant and especially historical literature, complemented with other archive materials. Findings that relate to exemplar engineering project design, organisation and management (EPDOM) of the time are highlighted. By discussing some of these in light of modern engineering convention, observations on EPDOM evolution are made, in addition to providing an historical engineering perspective per se.

Categorisation of building data in the digital documentation of heritage buildings

The documentation of heritage buildings is the preliminary action to deal with any problem related to the built heritage. The procedure of documentation requires a very diverse range of data (quantitative and qualitative) to be obtained and investigated in order to produce an accurate digital representation of the building. This type of work of data capture and interpretation is often conducted in isolation by different stakeholders and for a range of purposes, leading to a lack of communication between different data types, repeated effort and incomplete documentation. Heritage Building Information Modelling (H-BIM) is set to play a key role in the digital documentation of heritage buildings, as it can combine quantitative and qualitative data and facilitate the integration of different stakeholders and specialised data into the digital management of the different phases of dealing with heritage buildings. This paper aims to review the multitude of data types that could be included in the documentation and investigation process of the built heritage, in order to assess the breadth and depth by which heritage buildings can be documented. Four main categories that span the whole documentation data areas are being suggested which vary from outer geometry surveys, to subsurface materials and structural integrity investigations, to data concerning the building performance, as well as the historic records concerning the building’s morphology over time, which can help to create a more in-depth knowledge about the heritage building’s status and performance and can create a solid base for any required restoration and retrofitting processes (Khalil and Stravoravdis 2019a).
