The definition of technology is science or knowledge put into practical use to solve problems or invent useful tools. It is an application of science to solve a problem. Technology refers to the practical application of scientific knowledge for a purpose. it also includes the capability and skills required to apply the knowledge.

There is a revolution in civil engineering happening due to technology. From drones to innovative construction materials, be on the looked for how technology will influence, impact and improve the civil engineering industry in twenty first century.

In recent decay, the most one benefit from technology taken by a civil engineer is software tool in design part.

Software packages are to the civil engineers what a towel is to a mason. In short, a civil engineer, through a mathematical model, analyze the behavior of construction materials, from the result of these analysis he or she can select the appropriate material and their combination for an efficient design. Software packages streamline these processes, allowing the engineer to do fast and accurate computation using different mathematical model and output them in a human-friendly graphical representation and effectively easing cross-disciplinary collaboration. A design process that could have taken years now could be reduced to a couple of weeks.

Similarly like design part, the benefit of technology taken by civil engineer in other area are described below.

i) More efficient daily operations

In the part, construction companies faced the challenge of creating and sharing design information in real time. Designers and other professional would have to manually draw up sketches, project outlines and illustration. They would then have to send the sketches to relevant personnel and customers for review and approval.

With construction technology, project managers can use software to co-ordinate projects, share digital sketches and receive feedback in real time. In this way, the daily operations of construction companies large and small are improving significantly.

Construction technology also allows users to co-ordinate information across departments and with their clients. This results in a less costly and more streamlined daily operational model, with reduced changes orders and miscommunication.

ii) Smarter and more durable structures

Construction technologies produce smarter and more durable structures in two main ways:

a) By designing better from scratch.

b) By retrofitting existing structures for increased durability

iii) Use of better tools

Implementing construction technology is all about taking advantage of the best tools on the market today, and using them to create better work. Whether it’s using 3D imaging to generate more interactive models, laser scanning to facilitate efficient renovations or estimating systems that allow you to reduce costs, there is no shortage of platforms to improve your business.

iv) Better client services

For many years, the construction industry has had the challenge of communicating information efficiently to clients; owners would have to frequently visit the construction site to see how their project was proceeding and to ensure high standards of quality.

v) Innovation

Much of the innovation in the construction industry is being driven by technological advancements and with new software features added to platforms on a frequent basis, construction professionals are constantly presented with new opportunities for growth.
