Civil Engineering
For millennia, humans have worked the environment to provide the shelter, protect the resources, and create the support systems that make civilization and commerce possible.
The visionary spirit that created technical marvels like Roman aqueducts, the world’s great monuments, and urban centers that rise from land once covered by sea is alive today in civil engineering accomplishments by ARCADIS. Large projects like dams, power plants or water treatment facilities require a deep understanding of the physical properties of building materials like steel, concrete and compacted earth, and how they interact with the forces of nature and the environment.
Public and private clients trust ARCADIS to apply this understanding to create safe, operable and sustainable structures that support the needs of society. We have completed more than 23,000 civil engineering site plans in the U.S. over the past 50 years.
Our civil engineering services include:
- Structural design and engineering
- Computerized structural analysis
- Reinforced, pre-stressed and composite structure design
- Earthwork, excavation and grading design
- Environmental and geotechnical studies
- Design coordination with electrical and mechanical disciplines
Making the modern world more livable
Ever since Archimedes figured out how to move water uphill, civil engineers have been improving quality of life from the world’s smallest rural villages to the largest metropolitan centers. From life sustaining power and water supplies to critical structures that protect life and property from the forces of nature, ARCADIS' civil engineering expertise is trusted by public and private clients all over the world.
