Civil engineering Civil Structural Design and Engineering

What is Civil Engineering?

Civil and Structural design is a key point for any industry. It is also called as backbone of any industry. Without civil and structural design any plant buildings, any equipment foundation, even any pipe supports are not possible. Hence for civil engineering design and construction is highest priority.

In this post for civil engineering we would describe about deliverable and documents to be prepared for civil engineering. Many peoples doesn’t know about the, quantum of work in civil engineering design in any plant. Hence for basic knowledge about civil design work below information may help you to understand.
