Civil Engineering

What is it?

Civil engineering is the design and maintenance of modern day cities.

It’s also one of the oldest branches of engineering.

They work on a variety of projects in other types of engineering.

Geotechnical Engineering

GE is all about using natural materials from the earth.

•Subgrades for roads & pavement

Structural EngineeringWork alongside with

C.E.’s and architects.Specialize in the design,

construction, repair and conservation of structures.

S.E. have to consider all possible conditions when designing and building structures.

Environmental Engineering

Design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment.

Design systems to treat chemical, biological and thermal waste.

Water and air quality.
