What’s New in Civil Engineering
What’s New in Civil Engineering Over the past few weeks, we’ve taken a look at the four biggest trends in civil engineering and how the re-invention of the craft will build not only the economy, but also an environment that’s eco-friendly and sustainable. Here, we want to recap the new materials and approaches we’ve covered […]
Water Engineering Challenge and How It Can Be Overcome
Water Engineering Challenge The Designing Buildings Wiki defines water engineering as “designing in the realm of risk.” Here, we want to explore this notion – Why, in 2017, is water engineering risky? We take a look at the five areas of water engineering, the major risk facing all these areas and how we overcome this […]

Vaughan Harris, the Digital Director for the expo, said that the event was there to “allow us to rethink our current business models to adapt to the new trends. This advancement brings […]
Sustainable Civil Engineering Trends
In Our Common Future by The Brundtland Commission, the term ‘sustainable development’ was coined and defined as “the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. Unfortunately, civil engineering is not doing this all the time and this is having a detrimental effect […]

Thermal imaging: a civil engineering revolution
As early as 1828, Thomas Tredgold defined the field of civil engineering in terms that still resonate today. “Civil engineering is the art of directing the great sources of power in nature for the use of convenience of man.” This can only be done with a solid foundation of data designed to help you understand […]
How civil engineers use drone-mounted cameras
Site inspections can be challenging tasks. With large areas to survey, and high structures to scale, it can be hard to gather a comprehensive view of a project. Fast, precise, cost-effective (relatively speaking), and able to access spaces few other things can reach, drone-mounted cameras make civil engineering processes a whole lot easier. What are […]
