Drones are becoming an increasingly popular tool used on construction sites. The industry has seen a 239% growth in usage, but what makes them so popular? There are many benefits to using drones on sites, including safety and efficiency. Drones can perform jobs that have a high injury rate with ease. They can navigate through…
The construction industry accounts for a significant portion of overall CO2 emissions. It is important to practice sustainability in the industry as a whole; from designing with sustainable materials to disposing of waste properly. Using materials that help to minimize energy consumption and reduce waste is a major aspect of sustainable construction. Many raw materials…
At its core, 3D printing in construction involves layer-by-layer additive manufacturing in which structures are created by depositing material in a controlled manner. 3D printing allows for the seamless creation of entire structures from the ground up which can transform the construction industry in multiple ways. It has emerged as a revolutionary force, offering unprecedented…
Why is Safety Important in Construction? Safety is the number one priority when it comes to any construction project. The construction industry’s success isn’t solely measured by project completion but also by ensuring the well-being of the workers involved. While there are laws and regulations put into place that emphasize security measures, there is also…
Whether you live in a large city, small suburb, or tiny town, having access to sidewalks can make a huge difference in your everyday life. Sidewalks add more than an aesthetically pleasing look to an area, but also provide people with safer and cheaper modes of mobility. Walking is one of the many pleasures of…
The idea of construction is to build a new infrastructure from the ground up, but very few realize it goes much deeper than that. Below the surface of our towns and cities, you will find the utilities that you utilize on a daily basis. So before any building up can take place, these underground utilities…
The construction industry has come a long way over the years, and continues to improve every day. While this may be true, civil engineering will always have the room to grow when it comes to methods of safety, skill, and design. The job can be dangerous and workers can find some processes to be ineffective,…
It can easily be forgotten how things as simple as construction can impact the world. Most of us have grown up around large buildings, tall skyscrapers, and have access to well maintained roads. Since these things are used in our everyday lives, how much we rely and require civil engineering can be overlooked. The significance…
Through the years, community architecture has changed in many ways. Though it’s difficult to say when civil engineering became a consistent method of construction, it has most definitely evolved into something we cannot live without. Roads Civil engineering is a specialized field relevant to the plan development and building process of infrastructures such as roads,…
Proper planning is the core of any construction project and, when building roads, it is one of the most important aspects. In fact, it is the first step and is the foundation for any successful construction project. Building or expanding roads can come with risk but that can be mitigated by planning out the construction…
