Editorial Guidelines

Length: Typically 1500-2000 words.

Overall Focus: The case studies should focus on the design and construction elements of the project. Aspects such as reducing the carbon footprint, liaising with the public etc should be limited to coverage in the closing paragraphs.

Style & Content: The case study should be a technical article designed to be read by engineers in the water industry. It should start with the general location of the project, the population and population equivalent served, a brief description of the current facility and the reason for the current work/project drivers.

This should be followed with a technical description of design, process and/or construction work being undertaken and which companies are undertaking that work/supplying the key plant and equipment. The conclusion should state the progress to date, anticipated completion, performance results etc.

Table of designers, contractors and suppliers: Please include a table of the key participants (company names and nature of involvement) including the designers, main contractors, sub-contractors and suppliers of key process plant and construction materials.

Photographs: Our preference is for high resolution JPGs - Please Note: If including photographs in a Word document, they MUST also be provided in their original JPG format. Typically each photograph should have a file size of 2-3MB or larger (pixel dimensions should be approximately 2000 pixels wide by 1500 pixels high or larger).

For case studies of 1500 words we typically use 10 photographs

Photograph captions and credits: Please provide a short caption for each photograph submitted as well as an appropriate “Courtesy of ...name of Water Company or contractor...”.

Video: Videos can be added to the online versions of the case studies. If you wish to include a video(s) we just need the YouTube URL(s).
