Engineer Adam Arscott, from Liskeard, has been awarded membership of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) - an influential body representing the 90,000 civil engineers and technicians across the world who create and maintain transport, water, energy, waste and flood infrastructure, and design and build sports venues, skyscrapers and bridges.

ICE membership can be awarded to a wide range of engineers practising in the broad area of civil engineering. Adam, who has met all the requirements of the ICE’s Chartered Professional Review, is now entitled to add the letters MICE to his name and adopt the Institution’s own protected title of ‘Chartered Civil Engineer’.

Adam, who works for Jubb in Plymouth, said: ’Passing the review represents an important milestone in my career having achieved a professional qualification in addition to my academic ones.’
