More Definitions of Civil engineering

Civil engineering means that branch of professional engineering which embraces studies or activities in connection with fixed works for matters such as irrigation, drainage, waterpower, water supply, flood control, inland waterways, harbors (not including piers), municipal improvements, railroads, highways, traffic, non-structurally supported tunnels, airfields and airways, purification of water, geotechnical activities, and sewerage and refuse disposal.
Civil engineering. Solutions: No involvement • Foothill Associates: No involvement • Kleinfelder: No involvement • Tremaine & Associates: No involvement • Urban Alternatives: No involvement
Civil engineering. All grading, site development, and on-site utility work related to the scope of the project. Off-site work will be limited to existing utility investigation, tie-in’s to existing utilities, and adjustments to existing perimeter walks and access points. Landscape Design (Basic): Work limited to site restoration and code required plantings with minor points of interest at entry points. This includes landscape and irrigation as needed. Architectural Interior Design: Interior design provided for all replacement buildings. Other work is assumed to require no interiors design beyond basic architectural treatment. Cost Estimating: From the architectural team, estimates will be provided from either in house resources or sub- consultant 3rd party cost estimating for the project just prior to the conclusion (so as to adjust the designs as necessary based on the outcome) of the Design Development, Detailed Design Documents, and Construction Document phases utilizing Uniformat Level 2 and 3 detail respectively. It is anticipated the architectural team will provide interim cost analysis of specific scopes of work as requested by the Owner. On-Site Project Representation: This refers to the construction phase of each project and shall be provided at a standard level of 1 day per week average. Where the construction phases of multiple projects overlap, the architect will maximize efficiency of each trip, noting that on occasion more than a single day will be required. Engineering visits will be focused on the period where their design work is being installed and will be as frequent as necessary to evaluate general compliance. Post Occupancy Evaluation: The architect will schedule and conduct a 3-month and 10-month post occupancy evaluation of the project. Telecommunications/data Design: Includes design of communications infrastructure from "closet rack" to "point of use". Hardware will also be included. Security, phone/data services fire alarm, and HVAC controls are considered part of base design and would be complete systems. Security Evaluation and Planning: Includes evaluation of proposed scope and implementation of best practices for safety and security from both a passive (hard construction) and active (electronic system) perspective. Best practice will be evaluated and adjusted based on Owner protocols and policies in place or desired.
