Opportunities for the civil engineering industry have never been so abundant and varied; but then nor have the business challenges and pressures been more prominent than in today’s tough economic climate. Projects are becoming larger, more complex and increasingly global. The cost of materials is rising and yet, at the same time, the need to build in a sustainable way and reduce environmental impact intensifies. All this against a backdrop of diminishing skills resources. The need to do more – but with less – has never been more urgent. Yet still, project managers, civil engineers, designers and drafters struggle with disjointed data streams and workflow, multiple data formats and other error-prone processes. Thankfully, many forward-looking civil engineering operations have discovered the solution – a dynamic civil model created using Autodesk civil engineering solutions, ensuring a streamlined workflow with improved productivity and better collaboration – leading to faster and better quality designs with the competitive edge to maximise
the market. What do civil engineers think about their profession?
