Profile

Professor Adrian J Saul graduated from the University of Liverpool in 1972 with a degree in Civil Engineering followed by a PhD degree at Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh in 1977. He worked at the University of Manchester for 10 years prior to his appointment as Professor of Water Engineering at Sheffield in February 1990.

His research interests are concerned with all quantitative and qualitative aspects of Urban Drainage, for which he has an established international reputation. He is particularly interested in the performance of sewer ancillary structures, the prediction of sewer flow quality and in aspects of whole life costs in sewerage. He is extensively involved with research in urban flooding and he currently coordinates the Urban Flood Management Research Priority Area of the major 5.6M Flood Risk Management Consortium funded by EPSRC, NERC, EA, DEFRA, UKWIR and the Scottish Office.

More recently his portfolio of research has been extended to examine aspects of quality in potable water distribution systems and the development of management strategies for their operation, and of case study applications concerned with mapping the underworld, a project to locate, identify and characterise underground infrastructure assets.
