Experienced water resource engineers may go
into consultancy work or progress to senior roles
within water companies, regulatory bodies and
other organizations. While the engineering
aspects of major water infrastructure projects
may grab the headlines, they must be underpinned
by well-argued and presented long-term strategic
plans that are robust to public scrutiny and
possible challenge.
Recent extreme events (such as the deepening
drought over the 2011-2012 winter, followed by
unprecedented rainfall from mid-April onwards)
means that it is no longer appropriate to rely on
historic hydrological records for long-term
planning. An increasing focus is being placed on
research into how to deal with uncertainty and
risk in water resource management plans and
drought plans so that appropriate information
feeds into the development of national and
international policies and investment decisions.
Such research is undertaken by the water
industry itself, together with academic
organizations and consultancies.
The global political agenda is placing an
everincreasing onus on tackling climate change,
and with the United Nations (UN) COP21 event
taking place later this year in Paris the
implications for water resource engineers will be
significant. Achieving the UN aim of keeping
global warming below 2°C will require large-scale
international collaboration – and building climate
resilience into our water infrastructure will
require similar collaboration, research and
investigation, and innovation within the industry.
In the UK, recent statutory plans combined with
long-term horizon scanning suggest that major
new water resource infrastructure will be
required to provide the resilience now being
sought by politicians and the public alike. Water
resource engineers will play fundamental roles in
developing the plans for new infrastructure and
taking them through the planning and approval
stages, to procurement, construction,
commissioning and operation.

 Transportation Engineering
- An application of technology and scientific
principles to the planning, functional
design, operation and management of
facilities for any mode of transportation
in order to provide for the safe, efficient,
rapid, comfortable, convenient,
economical, and environmentally
compatible movement of people and goods
(transport). It is a sub-discipline of civil
engineering and of industrial engineering.
Transportation engineering is a major
component of the civil engineering and
mechanical engineering disciplines,
according to specialisation of academic
courses and main competences of the
involved territory. The importance of
transportation engineering within the civil
and industrial engineering profession can
be judged by the number of divisions in
ASCE (American Society of Civil
Engineers) that are directly related to
transportation. There are six such
divisions (Aerospace; Air Transportation;
Highway; Pipeline; Waterway, Port, Coastal
and Ocean; and Urban Transportation)
representing one-third of the total 18
technical divisions within the ASCE (1987).
- Transportation engineering, as practiced
by civil engineers, primarily involves
planning, design, construction,
maintenance, and operation of
transportation facilities. The facilities
support air, highway, railroad, pipeline,
water, and even space transportation. The
design aspects of transportation
engineering include the sizing of
transportation facilities (how many lanes
or how much capacity the facility has),
determining the materials and thickness
used in pavement designing the geometry
(vertical and horizontal alignment) of the
roadway (or track).
- Before any planning occurs the Engineer
must take what is known as an inventory of
the area or if it is appropriate, the
previous system in place. This inventory or
database must include information on
(1)population, (2)land use, (3)economic
activity, (4)transportation facilities and
services, (5)travel patterns and volumes,
(6)laws and ordinances, (7)regional
financial resources, (8)community values
and expectations. These inventories help
the engineer create business models to
complete accurate forecasts of the future
conditions of the systemReview.
- Operations and management involve
traffic engineering, so that vehicles move
smoothly on the road or track. Older
techniques include signs, signals, markings,
and tolling. Newer technologies involve
intelligent transportation systems,
including advanced traveler information
systems (such as variable message signs),
advanced traffic control systems (such as
ramp meters), and vehicle infrastructure
integration. Human factors are an aspect
of transportation engineering, particularly
concerning driver-vehicle interface and
user interface of road signs, signals, and
markings.
- Variable Message Signs (VMS) are digital
road signs used to inform car drivers
about specific temporary events and real-
time traffic conditions. The signs are
often linked to a manned control centre via
a local network or a radio link.

TRANSPORATION ENGINEERING IS...
- Concerned with moving people and goods
efficiently, safely, and in a manner conducive to a
vibrant community
- Dedicated to the improvement of transportation
vehicles and logistics.
-It is the transportation engineer's responsibility
to plan, design, build, operate and maintain these
systems of transport, in such a way as to provide
for the safe, efficient and convenient movement
of people and goods.
As per American Society of Civil Engineer
(ASCE), there are five divisions related to
Transportation Engineering:
Highway Engineering
▪Handle the planning, design, construction, and
operation of highways, roads, and other vehicular
facilities as well as their related pedestrian
realms.
▪Estimate the transportation needs of the public
and then secure the funding for the project.
▪Analyze locations of high traffic volumes and
high collisions for safety and capacity.
▪Use civil engineering principles to improve the
transportation system.
▪Utilizes the three design controls which are the
drivers, the vehicles, and the roadways
themselves.
Airport Engineering
Encompasses the planning, design, and
construction of terminals, runways, and navigation
aids to provide for passenger and freight service.
Airport engineers design and construct airports.
They must account for the impacts and demands
of aircraft in their design of airport facilities.
These engineers must use the analysis of
predominant wind direction to determine runway
orientation, determine the size of runway border
and safety areas, different wing tip to wing tip
clearances for all gates and must designate the
clear zones in the entire port.
Pipeline Engineering
Pipeline engineering embraces the design and
construction of pipelines, pumping stations, and
storage facilities. Pipelines are used to transport
liquids such as water, gas, and petroleum products
over great distances. Also, products such as
pulverized coal and iron ore can be transported in
a water slurry.
Port and Harbor Engineering
▪ Port and harbor engineers handle the design,
construction, and operation of ports, harbors,
canals, and other maritime facilities.
▪ A harbor (or haven) is a place for ships to enter
and find shelter from storms or other natural
phenomena. The modern harbor is a place where
ships are built, launched, and repaired, as well as
a terminal for incoming and outgoing ships.
▪ A port is a harbor with the necessary terminal
facilities to expedite the moving of cargo and
passengers at any stage of a journey. A good
harbor must have a safe anchorage and a direct
channel to open water, and must be deep enough
for large ships. An efficient port must have
enough room for docks, warehouses, and loading
and unloading machinery.

GREEN BUILDING CIVIL
ENGINEERING AND ITS RELATION
TO ENVIRONMENT
• A ‘green’ building is a building that, in its design,
construction or operation, reduces or eliminates
negative impacts, and can create positive impacts,
on our climate and natural environment.
• Green buildings preserve precious natural
resources and improve our quality of life.
Qualities of a Green Building
• Efficient use of energy, water, and other
resources
• Use of renewable energy, such as solar energy
• Pollution and waste reduction measures, and the
enabling of re-use and recycling
• Good indoor environmental air quality
• Use of materials that are non-toxic, ethical and
sustainable
• Consideration of the environment in design,
construction and operation
• Consideration of the quality of life of occupants
in design, construction and operation
• A design that enables adaptation to a changing
environment
• Any building can be a green building.
• Not all green buildings are – and need to be – the
same.
- Different countries take different approaches
to the concept of green buildings depending on
their conditions.
How to Make Green Buildings
Use Green Materials
 Green Materials or recyclable materials is great
when building a eco-friendly Building.
Design Sustainable Energy System
 Energy systems which include solar panels,
windmills, and, etc. produce a clean energy to the
building without harming the environment. Smart
energy choices.
Rainwater Harvesting
 This is to save ground water for future use it
helps the resident save water supply
Landscaping
 Building infrastructure in a great environment
also makes it green. The air is clean and the
ambience is perfect. Also adding some plants to
the building cleans the air on it.
Benefits of Green Buildings
• Environmental
➢ Green buildings can not only reduce or
eliminate negative impacts on the environment, by
using less water, energy or natural resources, but
they can - in many cases - have a positive impact
on the environment (at the building or city scales)
by generating their own energy or increasing
biodiversity
• Economic
➢ Green buildings offer a number of economic or
financial benefits, which are relevant to a range
of different people or groups of people. These
include cost savings on utility bills for tenants or
households (through energy and water
efficiency); lower construction costs and higher
property value for building developers; increased
occupancy rates or operating costs for building regarding the energy efficiency of green
owners; and job creation. buildings, causing increased exposure to potential

 Regulatory

What are the risks?
As the demand for green buildings grows, the
risks associated with their construction will
continue to evolve. In the future, courts are sure
to test more and more legal cases pertaining to
green building design, construction and
ownership. As a result, insurance companies,
insurance brokers and lawyers are attempting to
stay ahead of the curve by identifying and
addressing areas of potential liability.
In a recent Marsh survey, construction industry
executives identified five primary risk categories
associated with green building projects that both
construction companies and project owners
should be aware of:
New building codes and mandates associated with
green construction can mean an increased liability
to everyone involved in the green construction
process.
In conclusion: Green Buildings bring positive
effects and reduce negative effects to the
environment while also improving the quality of
living through many different ways of economical,
eco-friendly, efficient, and sustainable ways.
Although there are still risks to them because
Green Buildings still needs further research, in
the future, the world surely will be in better
hands as Green Buildings slowly become the
standard of structures and buildings.

 Financial risks

The additional costs of green buildings may

affect completing projects on time and on budget,
but must be weighed against the cost of not going
green.

 Standard of Care/Legal

Mandates regarding LEED certification bring an

increased risk of legal liability for green building
design and construction professionals

 Performance

Project owners/develops are starting to require

additional contract provisions and warranties
 CIVIL ENGINEERING
SUSTAINABILITY AND THE
FUTURE
CIVIL ENGINEERING
• a professional engineering discipline that deals
with the design, construction, and maintenance of
the physical and naturally built environment,
including public works such as roads, bridges,
canals, dams, airports, sewerage systems,
pipelines, structural components of buildings, and
railways (Wikipedia, 2019)
What is sustainability in construction and civil
engineering?
Sustainability is defined as the desire to perform
activities without any depletion of resources or
bringing any harmful effect on the environment.
Practicing sustainable construction methods will
help avoiding harmful effects from construction
activities.
Construction involves activities like use of
building materials from various sources, use of
machineries, demolition of existing structures,
use of green fields, cutting down of tress etc.
which can impact environment in one or more
ways.
Civil engineering field, being the major part of the
economy, is very essential that sustainable
construction practice dominate the past followed
conventional construction practice and methods.
Need for Sustainable Construction
• Generation of waste materials
• Emissions from vehicles, machineries
• Noise pollution due to use of heavy vehicles and
construction machineries.
• Releases of wastes and pollutants into water,
ground and atmosphere.
How to Ensure Sustainable Construction?
• Biodiversity Enhancement
Sustainable Construction must stop threatening
use of environment or species wherever possible
so that the natural habitat is not affected
• Support to the Community
Support and help should reach to the real need,
aspirations and real requirements. Also involve
the needed in the key decisions.
• Effective Use of Resources
Overconsumption of disappropriate amount of
resources like land, money, use or disposal,
construction must be stopped. Wastage of
resources, materials, water, poor design is not
recommended. The building constructed have to
be affordable and manageable.
• Pollution Reduction
Annually billions of tons of demolition waste are
generated worldwide for the need for new
construction activities. Improper disposal of
these waste tend to be hazardous to the
environment.
• Creating Healthy Environment
Around 40% of total energy consumption and
greenhouse gas emissions are directly due to
construction and operation of buildings. The best
of to reduce this impact is the use of green
buildings construction techniques.
• Process Management
Too many aspirations for a project will won’t give
sustainable construction. Hence, identification of
appropriate targets, benchmarks and tools along
with their proper management will give
sustainability in construction.
