From roadway designs, pavement evaluations, transportation planning and managing the structural designs of buildings that tower over us throughout our major cities, it was all made possible by finite element analysis. Engineers versed in finite element analysis are able to…
Civil engineering companies are major corporations that are commonly contracted by clients to undertake major construction and design projects such as lidar surveying, water infrastructure, transportation infrastructure, and urban development among others. With the increasing demand for major and landmark…
Civil engineering might not seem like the kind of field where it's important to have a background in geology. Civil engineers just design buildings and oversee their construction, right? Wrong. Geology is an essential subject for civil engineer services to…
Particularly for areas with large amounts of water, bridges are among the most essential components of transportation infrastructure. Any civil engineering company which builds and maintains these structures must incorporate a huge complexity of factors into the structural design. These…
Whether you live in a densely populated city or a smaller suburban area, there's no doubt that the importance of transportation planning and evaluating pavement is vital to making sure residents can get from place to place. But how does…
With more than one-third of America's major roads being in either poor or mediocre condition, engineers have their hands full designing repairs and replacement structures all around the country. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways civil engineer services can be…
Over the past few decades, climate change has begun to affect the landscape of the earth. As the years progress, the topography of the earth will only change more as water levels rise, reducing the amount of land available in…
Managing Florida's coastal zones is more complex than you may think. This is especially true with there being about 1.26 trillion gallons of untreated sewage spilled from America's aging sewer systems every year. Fortunately, technology is make managing these coastal…
Working in industries like mining, oil and gas, construction, and automotive can be rewarding, but also highly dangerous. This is especially true with more than 4,095 dams being deemed "unsafe" in American by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Fortunately,…
Every body of water, from rivers to ponds, has a watershed. That is the area of land that sheds water, or drains, into a specific receiving water body, typically another lake or river. Watershed management refers to the process of…
