9 ways technology is impacting the civil engineering industry
By Stonewall Engineering on Sep 30, 2021
Civil engineering is an ever-changing industry. With advancements in technology, we've seen the civil engineering field evolve from working solely with concrete to now designing and building everything from bridges to buildings.
From 3D printing to automated machines (aka robots), civil engineers are no longer just sitting at a desk drawing on paper - they're running around a construction site using their brains and hands.
Here are 10 ways that technology has impacted how civil engineers work today.
1) Using drones for surveying land
2) Designing structures with CAD software
3) Enabling remote sensing via cloud technologies
4) Connecting devices in cities- Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled sensors
5) The use of Building Information Modeling (BMI)
7) The use and development of water conservation technology
