Introduction to Civil Construction

CIVIL CONSTRUCTION

Introduction to Civil Construction

Civil construction falls in the category of civil engineering which is all about designing, constructing and maintaining the physical and naturally built environment. Civil construction is the art of building bridges, dams, roads, airports, canals, and buildings.

Civil engineering is the oldest disciplines of engineering. Since the very beginning of the human existence, it has been the aspect of life. One of the main aspects of civil construction is structural engineering. It helps in designing the structure in a way that it is able to support itself successfully along with resisting loads. The stability of the design will serve as the foundation of civil construction. 

In today’s society, there are huge projects meant for civil construction and engineering. The infrastructure used in our daily lives all has been created because of civil construction and engineering. The roads, railways, stadiums, harbors, schools and other buildings constructed all are a contribution of civil engineering.


Civil Construction Stages 

Classifying large projects into civil construction stages has always been anticipated whether it is for independent or conjunction construction. To escalate the progress of the civil construction, every stage of the process is taken as individual contracts. All of the contracts are continued in special patterns and schedules. To maintain the quality of work in the construction process, the duration of every stage should be analyzed and evaluated before the process starts. Every stage of construction should have its own time period of implementations. The stages of construction for a couple of projects are mentioned below:

Highway Project

Take a look at the factors to consider while planning a highway construction project. 

·         Locating the plant for the project site 

·         Dissipating the site of the project

·         Underground work involving Earth work for the embankment of the highway    

·         Drainage establishment 

·         Pavements structure constructions 

·         Placing road signs, lights and signals

Water Supply Project 

The water supply project requires construction with great care and perfection. It requires certain things that need to be taken in the spot light and they are:

·         Site dissipating

·         Building of the dam structure 

·         Constructing the controls and spillways 

·         Pumping house connections

·         Adding in construction tunnels and transmission lines 

·         Establishment of the plant of water treatment
