Civil engineering, one of the key services offered by Paul Waite Associates, is an old and important discipline. Though we may sometimes take it for granted, it is impossible to understate the impact it has on our lives. Read on to find out more about how civil engineering plays a huge role in shaping the world in which we live.
What is civil engineering?
Civil engineering is, essentially, the foundation upon which modern society is built. It involves the construction of all kinds of infrastructure, including but by no means limited to roads, railways, bridges, sewers, canals and power supply. All these things are fundamental parts of our day-to-day lives, and all are products of civil engineering.
What is the role of a civil engineer?
The role of civil engineers doesn’t end when this infrastructure has been designed and built, however – it is also up to them to maintain these facilities and, where necessary, develop and improve them to bring them in line with modern standards. Because of this broad remit, civil engineering is a complex sector and has many specialised subdivisions, such as those focused on dealing with construction or the environment.
