2142 Civil Engineers
Civil engineers conduct research, advise on, design, and direct construction; manage the operation and maintenance of civil engineering structures; or study and advise on technological aspects of particular materials. Tasks include - (a) conducting research and developing new or improved theories and methods related to civil engineering; (b) advising on and designing structures such as bridges, dams, docks, roads, airports, railways, canals, pipelines, waste-disposal and flood-control systems, and industrial and other large buildings; (c) determining and specifying construction methods, materials and quality standards, and directing construction work; (d) establishing control systems to ensure efficient functioning of structures as well as safety and environmental protection; (e) organizing and directing maintenance and repair of existing civil engineering structures; (f) analysing the behaviour of soil and rock when placed under pressure by proposed structures and designing structural foundations; (g) analysing the stability of structures and testing the behaviour and durability of materials used in their construction.
