The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) formed the Panel Engineers’ Committee (PEC) to serve as a unified voice for engineers appointed to the various panels under the Reservoirs Act. The purposes of the PEC are to provide proactive advice on the best ways to protect the public from the risk of flooding due to dam failure, and to offer feedback, comments, and advice on the implementation of the recommendations from the Independent Reservoir Safety Review Report (the Balmforth Report), published in March 2021, in England and Wales.
