3. Civil Engineering and Building Marvels Part 2: Aqua Virgo: A Living Legacy of Roman Engineering Completed in 19 BC by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, the Aqua Virgo is a prime example of Roman engineering, showcasing both functionality and durability. Aqua Virgo Spanned 20 kilometres; this aqueduct provided water to Rome's public baths and fountains, including Agrippa's monumental bath complex. Unlike many other aqueducts, a significant portion of Aqua Virgo's route was constructed underground, which helped protect it from damage while also reducing construction costs. Aqua Virgo was funded by Agrippa's wealth, a prime example of euergetism, where wealthy individuals contributed to public infrastructure. Agrippa's investment was not just a show of political loyalty to Augustus but also an act of civic responsibility. The initial construction took about 3–4 years and employed a large workforce of skilled engineers and labourers. Aqua Virgo's underground route preserved its longevity, allowing it to remain in use even today, supplying water to the Trevi Fountain. While emperors or high-ranking officials often funded large aqueducts like Aqua Virgo, routine maintenance was crucial for keeping the system functional. Maintaining such an extensive network required regular cleaning, repairs, and policing to prevent water theft (aqua furtiva), which was common in cities. Lead into Part 3: Roman aqueducts were designed not only to last but to be maintained efficiently. A well-structured system of officials, labourers, and engineers ensured that these aqueducts remained operational for centuries, and the methods developed for their upkeep influenced modern infrastructure management.

As a Civil Engineer, I've always been fascinated by the intricate designs and structures that exist in our world. From the majestic bridges to the towering skyscrapers, every creation is a testament to human ingenuity and innovation. However, as I delve deeper into my work, I'm reminded of the fact that there's a power beyond human capabilities that governs our universe. As a Civil Engineer, I believe in God, the Supreme creator of the universe. For me, faith and engineering are intertwined. I believe that God's creation is the ultimate masterpiece of engineering, with every detail meticulously planned and executed. The laws of physics, the principles of mathematics, and the beauty of nature all point to a higher power that governs our universe. As I design and build structures, I'm constantly reminded of the limitations of human knowledge and the importance of humility. I believe that my work is not just about creating functional structures, but also about honoring God's creation and respecting the natural world. My faith gives me the strength and motivation to pursue my passion for engineering, and to use my skills to make a positive impact on society. It reminds me that my work is not just about building structures, but about building a better world for all. So, to all my fellow engineers and friends, I'd like to ask: how much do you believe in God? Does your faith influence your work and your perspective on the world? Let's share our thoughts and experiences!

Not your usual marine civil engineering for Teignmouth Maritime Services. TMS have been appointed by Community 1st Cornwall to provide ground works and sub-structure for a new integrated health and social care facility for Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust in the Isles of Scilly. The project extends the existing community hospital on St. Mary’s with new inpatient wards and clinic space, to serve the 2,000 strong population of the islands. Alongside this, a 12 room residential care home will be added. Since the Business case was signed off in late December 2023, we have worked closely with the design team of Bluesky Architects, MBA (Truro) and Hulley & Kirkwood to develop a buildable solution, taking account of the remote location. Site works started in earnest in June 2024. A robust concrete frame solution was developed to withstand the aggressive environment 25miles out into the Atlantic from Lands End. This is made of pre-cast concrete pad foundations, columns, beams and planks being produced by Cornish Concrete Products. This solution has significantly reduced the in-situ concrete demand, which has to be batched and mixed on site as there are no ready-mix plants on the island. #civilengineering #isleofscilly

Paving the Way to Progress: The Power of Road Construction in Civil Engineering Road construction is more than just laying asphalt; it's about connecting communities, facilitating commerce, and driving economic growth. let's spotlight the crucial role of road construction in shaping our infrastructure. From designing efficient transportation networks to implementing sustainable materials, road construction is at the heart of civil engineering innovation. It's about creating safe, durable, and environmentally friendly roadways that stand the test of time. To all my fellow civil engineers in road construction, your dedication and expertise are instrumental in building the foundations of our society. Let's continue to pave the way for a better tomorrow! #RoadConstruction
