As an Associate Civil Engineer at BuildTech Solutions, I use technology extensively in day-to-day operations and project execution. Our company encourages the use of BIM platforms like Revit and Navisworks for better project coordination and delivery.
Recently, I worked on an infrastructure project where we replaced deteriorating sewage pipelines in a densely populated city district. Through GIS mapping and 3D modeling technology, we were able to plan the entire operation with minimal disruptions. Our team could visualize potential challenges and devise contingency plans, which proved invaluable when we encountered unexpected underground utilities during the excavation. This project was a testament to how technology is essential in modern Civil Engineering, aiding in reducing risks, improving planning, and facilitating better project outcomes.
