CIV2605 Construction Engineering

Synopsis

The construction sector is a major part of the total civil engineering and building industry. Construction projects range in size from the small (such as the construction of a swimming pool or a subdivision cul de sac) to the very large (such as the construction of a hydro electric power scheme or a freeway system). However, all projects share the common factors of utilising workers, machines and materials, and of requiring organisation and control. The graduate civil engineer must, therefore, be familiar with the range of construction equipment and techniques in common use, and must be able to plan and direct construction works. The course covers the areas of construction techniques, construction management and concrete technology.
