Links between UCL Civil Engineering and HR Wallingford go back some 50 years to when it was the government's Hydraulics Research Station. Over that period, UCL have carried out research using the large-scale facilities at Wallingford, HR Wallingford have sponsored projects and research studentships at UCL, and we have collaborated on Research Council and EU-funded projects. That collaboration continues, particularly in the fields of seabed scour and tsunami research.
