OUR MUNICIPAL ENGINEERING SECTOR BUILDS STREETS AND SIDEWALKS. EACH DESIGN IS
UNIQUE AND PRACTICAL. THE SMALL COMPONENTS COMBINE TO CREATE ONE CONVENIENT
SYSTEM.

WE ALSO BUILD BRIDGES AND DAMS. THE WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING DIVISION DOES
THIS WORK. THEIR STRUCTURES CONTROL THE MOVEMENT OF WATER EFFICIENTLY.

THE STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING BRANCH ANALYZES STRUCTURES THAT SUPPORT LOADS. IT

DESIGNS BUILDINGS THAT ARE STRONG AND DURABLE. AS A RESULT, THEY REQUIRE MINIMAL
MAINTENANCE.

OUR GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING SECTOR SELECTS BUILDING MATERIALS. IT ALSO DECIDES

WHERE TO BUILD A CONSTRUCTION. EACH STRUCTURE FITS NATURALLY INTO ITS
SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT.

Read the webpage.then, mark the following statements as true(T) or false(F)

The structural engineering sector builds bdridges and dams.(F)

The engineering firm´s designs are uniform and identical.(F)

The structural engineering branch decreases the need for maintenance.(V)
