Building our country's transportation infrastructure is work worth doing. Check this Work IN Roads blog post to learn more. #TechInnovation #Engineering #BuildBackBetter

To benefit your community with your civil engineering knowledge, you can take several impactful steps: 1. Share Knowledge: Conduct workshops or awareness sessions to educate people about construction safety, sustainable building practices, or water management. 2. Improve Infrastructure: Use your expertise to design or support projects like roads, bridges, water systems, and public spaces that improve daily life and community resilience. 3. Assist in Disaster Preparedness: Help prepare your community for natural disasters by building flood defenses or creating safer, more durable structures. 4. Boost Local Economy: Start community construction projects that create jobs and stimulate the local economy, helping improve livelihoods. 5. Inspire Future Engineers: Encourage youth to study engineering by mentoring, sharing experiences, and showing how they can help the community.

Thanks CSU Civil and Environmental Engineering for the award and for the last 5 years !!

For those of you preparing for Professional Reviews or End Point Assessments I’d recommend this.

In the Department of Civil Engineering, at the University of Pretoria, researchers in structural engineering are joining forces with their colleagues who specialise in building materials to make an impact on South Africa’s roads infrastructure. They are developing tools for designing reinforced concrete bridge decks without expansion joints or bearings, known as integral bridges. The objective is to ensure that these structures can withstand the loads caused by environmental forces. A structure of this type requires limited maintenance and can help ensure the longevity and structural health of our country’s road network bridges. As part of her PhD research conducted in 2017, Dr Sarah Skorpen of the Department of Civil Engineering instrumented and monitored an integral bridge built on the N1 near Trompsburg in the Free State.

🛣 In today’s world, millions of people depend on roads for getting to work, moving goods, and traveling to new places. Roads are essential to any community, which is why their safety, strength, and long-lasting quality are very important. It’s necessary to keep learning and improving our skills in civil engineering, especially in road construction. This continuous learning helps improve the quality and safety of infrastructure. Over the past few months, I have been studying the latest rules and technologies in road building and highways. 🔍 My research focuses on key areas like building strong roads, protecting the environment, and using materials that have less harmful impact on nature. ✔ Using modern methods and sustainable techniques in road construction can help reduce environmental damage and make roads last longer. ✔ Knowing about these new technologies and ideas not only helps make roads more efficient and durable but also improves people’s lives and supports environmental protection. #CivilEngineering #RoadConstruction #Sustainability #Innovation #Infrastructure #EnvironmentalProtection #ModernTechniques #SustainableDevelopment

Thursday's Plenary session is themed: “Implication of Climate Change on Civil Engineering practice”. #CSCENiagara2024 - Hellen Christodoulou, ing, BCL., LLB, MBA as keynote speaker will be presenting "The construction industry supply chain: Understanding its impact and effects on decisions for our projects.". #construction #supplychain #sustainableconstruction #designchoices Corbec Canadian Society for Civil Engineering / La Société canadienne de génie civil #civil #structural #engineers If we are going to understand the implications of climate change on projects and their effect on Civil Engineering practice, we need to appreciate the objective of a circular economy, whose goal is to keep materials out of the waste stream. The behaviors and choices of all actors in the construction supply chain have an influence on environmental impacts, but we need to understand when and how. The education, evaluation and diligent application of assumptions, considerations, comparisons, and methodologies have both short and long-term impacts and effects to the sustainable future we aspire to achieve. Our mind set should be premised and aligned with a full life cycle view of the planning, design, manufacturing, operation, and end of life.
