Apprenticeship

As a specialist civil engineer, you will be given responsibility. You will install stable foundations for heavy building structures, suited to the load-bearing capacity of the subsoil. Your foundations will support high-rise buildings, bridges, roads or tunnels. Specialist civil engineers use anchoring and pile foundation to make the subsoil stable enough to support the weight of these structures.

Specialised structures such as bridges need to be anchored very firmly into the ground so that they can withstand the huge loads they are subjected to. Before construction begins, specialist civil engineers test the load-bearing capacity of the soil using deep test borings.

Specialist civil engineers use excavators to dig construction pits following the plans of the civil engineers and install dewatering systems to keep the pits dry. They secure the walls with reinforcement and anchor systems, and anchor the structural foundations with bored piles or diaphragm walls filled in with concrete and rebar. Specialist civil engineers anchor slopes to prevent landslips, and are also involved in tunnelling.

“Before we start on the earthworks, we survey the site and enter the data into a computerised system. When we’re drilling to great depths, the drilling machinery we use is enormous. I adjust the equipment at the drilling spot and clean and grease the casing before screwing it together. We clear the sand out of the drill holes so that when we fill them with concrete, it will be able to bond with the rebars and create a stable foundation."
