Key Trends in Civil Engineering to Know in 2023

In recent years, cloud frameworks have made collaboration easier than ever. Anyone can access BIM data from anywhere in real time, simplifying the sharing of BIM models. Massive civil engineering projects can benefit from seamless collaboration between project teams and stakeholders.

FREMONT, CA: Throughout history, humans have always been fascinated with building structures from houses to canals to bridges. As a result, civil engineering is arguably the oldest engineering field.

Although civil engineering has always advanced incrementally, the last decade has seen the rise of disruptive innovations and concepts that will profoundly impact the field in the future. Several of these innovations have already been adopted, and their value cannot be overstated. The post examines some of these trends and what they mean for civil engineering in the future.

Large-scale applications of Building Information Modeling (BIM): It has fundamentally redefined civil engineering processes since the first BIM software tools were developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s. BIM, according to Autodesk, is an intelligent 3D model-based process that gives architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals the tools to plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure more efficiently.
