Behind every safe railway journey lies an invisible shield of civil engineering excellence. These “civils in construction” form the true backbone of rail safety—the embankments, drainage systems, ...

Bridges, roads, buildings, railways, distribution systems, canals, dams, even lighthouses. Yes, lighthouses. If you encountered any of these structures today, or stopped to marvel at one on a recent ...

Matthew Hallowell isn’t afraid to disrupt the established thinking in construction safety measurement. That much is clear so far from his research work, both as a professor of civil engineering at the ...

Civil engineers build the world around us. They use their knowledge of science and engineering to design safer buildings, roads, water supply systems, and bridges, while reducing our carbon footprint.

Tiana Robinson is working on a research collaboration with the city of Lowell to help inspect and monitor the city’s aging infrastructure. A former carpenter sidelined by the recession, Christopher ...

Civil engineers design and supervise the construction of the buildings and infrastructure that make up our world: roads, bridges, tunnels, skyscrapers, transit systems and water treatment facilities.
