What is public projects engineering?
Public projects engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with structures designed to serve and be used by the public. These are large-scale projects which is why these engineers affect so many people through their work. Some examples of public projects that an engineer would work on include roadways, railways, sewage systems, dams, power plant placement and design, airport design and placement, water treatment facilities, canals, harbors/ports, and tunnels.
Typical Public Projects Engineering Services
The types of large projects mentioned require support and contribution from many people. While it is easy to understand what a construction worker on a roadway project might do, what does the public work engineer do?
Land Surveys
Provide an accurate idea of boundaries, divisions, elevation highs and lows, and other relevant information for planning and executing large-scale projects.
Permitting and Rezoning
Public works projects are often given more leeway than private developments in this regard, but the process can be time-consuming and complex.
Highway Design
Part of the transportation component of public works engineering involves designing a highway system that connects people and places logically and constructively.
Project Management
A well-designed project is meaningless if it is not executed properly. A public work engineer may oversee the entire project so that he or she can ensure that all of the groups are working together and staying on target toward the final goal.
Water Resource Design
People, communities, cities, and businesses need to have access to clean water. This can be as simple as directing a nearby source toward the parties in question or as complex as creating a system of stormwater management structures.
Sanitary Engineering
Urban areas also need a good sanitation system to keep the city clean and functioning properly. Public works engineers help design systems to keep the waste away from the public and dispose of it properly to protect and promote the health of the people.
From solving commuting issues to developing a stormwater management system, our team of engineers enjoy the challenge of this type of complex project.
