Structural engineering
Civil Engineers in this field create structural elements of design for bridges, skyscrapers, ports and airports etc. They also design and assess major projects, such as buildings, bridges, or dams, to ensure their strength and durability.
Geotechnical engineering
Civil Engineers in this field work exclusively with rock and soil that support the structures and make sure that the foundations are solid. They focus on how structures built by civil engineers, such as buildings and tunnels, interact with the earth (including soil and rock). In addition, they design and plan for slopes, retaining walls, and tunnels.
Environmental engineering
Civil Engineers in this field design systems and structures for treatment of chemical, biological and thermal wastes.
Materials engineering
Civil Engineers in this field deal with the inspection of existing and development of new materials which can be used for construction projects.
Maintenance
Civil Engineers in this field ensure that the structures built, are looked after properly and all the necessary repairs and renovations take place.
Water resource engineering
Civil Engineers in this field focus on collection, storage and management of water.
Earthquake engineering
Civil Engineers specializing in this field create buildings and other structures that can withstand the stresses of earthquakes without falling.
Coastal engineering
Civil Engineers specializing in this field manage the coastal areas, including marshlands. They create defenses against flooding and erosion.
