Civil Engineering Surveying

Civil engineering construction makes a vital contribution to the world’s economy, employing millions of people across the globe. It is responsible for developing, creating and maintaining the infrastructure of countries of all levels of development and wealth.

Without a civil engineering industry there would be no clean water, no transport system, no sewage and waste disposal, no heat, no light and no power. The world’s infrastructure and its people would be at the mercy of the elements and the natural forces within our changing environment.
