Our society would not function without them - Civil or Public Works Engineers are critical to the design, construction, and maintenance of all forms of infrastructure as well as solving the tough environmental problems of the 21st century. 

Are the roads in your area under repair?  Is your city’s airport expanding?  Is there a housing development under construction nearby?  If so, civil engineers have been hard at work.

A civil engineer plans, designs, constructs and maintains roads, bridges, dams, airports, power plants, water supply and waste treatment systems.  Without civil engineers our society would not function, we would not be able to do any of the most fundamental things that make our day tick...

 

A constant supply of clean water
Every morning we turn on the tap, boil a kettle, use the bathroom thanks to Civil Engineers who design and plan the construction of reservoirs, dams, water treatment works and water pipes.

Our transport networks
Every day Australians walk along public roads, drive along major highways, take a train thanks to Civil Engineers who plan, construct and maintain our roads and railways.

Our urban life
Every person who finds their way around our towns and cities does so thanks to Civil Engineers who design streets and crossings so that they are safer and more attractive.

Sustainable energy
Every time we flip a switch and save time with electrical conveniences, it’s thanks to Civil Engineers who generate power for the things we use in everyday life, such as fridges, televisions and radios, without draining the earth's natural resources.

Building
Every footy match we go to or major public event like the cricket or Olympic Games we enjoy is thanks to Civil Engineers who plan, design and construct all our large buildings and sports stadiums.
