CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT

Civil engineering relies on survey equipment, earth moving equipment, heavy machinery, and other tools to make their jobs more comfortable and efficient. Without the heavy equipment they use, the structures they build and design wouldn’t be safe.  Civil engineers also use geographic information systems and various drafting tools to map out and plot specific locations. Civil construction also uses software to help them design the structures that need to be built at that location. This is in addition to the different types of survey equipment civil engineers use to measure land and water areas, which may include a sophisticated GPS system designed for these types of applications.
