The Company has an active membership and links to organisations that share some of our aims. In particular we have strong links to the armed services.

Affiliations started in 1991 with the Military Works Force, a Royal Engineer unit based in Nottinghamshire. The MWF provides an engineering consultancy for the armed forces and currently has over 100 tasks in hand, mostly overseas. The Company makes an Annual Award and sponsors a member of MWF on the yearly CIWEM Young Members Study Tour.

In 1998 the Company affiliated to HMS SCOTT, the largest survey vessel to enter service with the Royal Navy. Her advanced sonar array sounding system enables her to chart large areas of ocean at a rate never previously achieved. In 1999 the Ship journeyed to the Seychelles for the Royal Society
project 'Shoals of Capricorn', to which the Company contributed.

No.1 Aeronautical Information Documents Unit RAF, based at RAF Northolt, was affiliated in 1999. AIDU produces aeronautical information for use by UK military personnel directly concerned with the operation and safety of aircraft. A digital database of aeronautical information world-wide is
maintained in a modern purpose-built complex at Northolt.

The Sea Cadet Corps at Maidstone is formally linked to HMS SCOTT as a Training Ship and is also affiliated. A berth on T.S.ROYALIST, the SailTraining Brig, is financed by the Company and awarded to the Best Cadet of the year. Other financial assistance is given from time to time.
