The first yellow stripe was painted on an American highway in 1917 by a woman named June McCarroll. Ever since, roads have become safer and have stretched across the country for thousands of miles. Not only are these roads important…
Civil engineering companies are essential teams of professionals that work to better the construction, design, and maintenance of works meant to benefit the man-made and natural environments such as bridges, canals, buildings, dams, and roads. Civil engineering is necessary in…
The bridge is a structure often forgotten in terms of the great feats of civil engineering and transportation planning. This may be because over 25% of American bridges handle more traffic than they were designed for and need serious repairs.…
Transportation planning is crucial anywhere in the world because it serves the area economically, socially, and improves the quality of life for the residents. Geotechnical engineering consultants are responsible for the placement of roads and highways, overpasses, interchanges, bridges and…
Especially if you live on a coastal city, it is important to understand how a major flood could impact your community. While a local civil engineering company is taking steps to further advance flood preparedness and infrastructure, citizens and government…
Civil engineers help keep our society moving along properly. They're to thank for the ways our cities are laid out, the roads and bridges that we traverse, the canals we transport goods on, and the buildings we do business in.…
Designing a rainwater drainage and flood control system can be a challenge regardless of location, but there are certain issues that tend to arise when coming up with a structural design for such a system in urban environments, specifically. Large…
Photogrammetry is the process by which 2D images are translated into 3D models. Although the process used today is relatively sophisticated, its original concepts date further back in history than you might imagine. It's difficult to think that something as…
Many companies look to hire civil engineer services for structural design, transportation planning, LiDAR surveying and photogrammetry, and more. But not every civil engineering company is the same. Here are some of the most important qualities to look for in…
Structural design continues to improve as the field of civil engineering learns to build bigger, better, safer, and more sustainable buildings across the globe. From far-reaching bridges to man-made islands, we are creating structures that bring people together and support…
