Specialist civil engineering is the name for a profession that is assigned to the main construction trade and is learned over a period of several years. Employment Find Special civil contractors in construction companies of civil and underground engineering as well as civil engineering companies in the tunnel and bridge construction .

The civil engineering specialist carries out special civil engineering tasks, such as the creation of deep foundations , injection anchors and ensures the dewatering of construction pits. It also builds underpinnings and is used in tunnel construction.

tasks

One of the main areas of activity of the specialist civil engineer is the creation of deep foundations consisting of bored piles. Furthermore, he carries out the shoring of construction pits with the help of bored pile, girder pile , sheet pile or diaphragm walls and is responsible for the drainage within the construction pit. To secure embankments and sheeting walls, the civil engineering specialist installs injection anchors into the ground.

In tunnel construction, the civil engineering specialist is responsible for the progress of tunneling and carries out various tasks depending on the type of tunneling. If the tunnel is being excavated by mining, it will carry out the earthworks and support measures for the tunnel wall. If, on the other hand, the tunnel is built with a tunnel boring machine , the civil engineering specialist is responsible for operating the machine.

To determine the existing soil or to determine the quality of the soil, the civil engineering specialist takes soil samples with the help of probes or digs for the subsoil investigation in the foundation laboratory. On site, he identifies unsound soil layers and carries out soil improvement measures with binding agents or a soil replacement .
