Before we deep dive into the civil engineer
role, we will give a little context, sharing
some key facts about civil engineering.
From
Egyptianpyramids
andRoman
aqueducts to today’s hugebridges and giant skyscrapers, civilengineering is one of the oldest engineering
disciplines.

Civil engineer terminology was introduced by
English engineer, John Smeaton, founder of
the “Society of Civil Engineers” in the
18th Century. During the first industrial
revolution at the beginning of the 19th
Century,thecivilengineering
discipline became specialized and many
sub-domains of that discipline were created.

Today, civil engineers plan, design,
supervise and maintain large construction
and infrastructures around us, including
buildings, roads, bridges, airports and water
systems.
Because of the complexity of the
projects, job segmentation, and the
productivity
challenges,
digitizationin construction has progressed slowly.
When
implemented,
however,
digitaltransformation
of
the
job
enables substantial advances inconstruction processes.

Today, traditional processes are evolving
into a science of construction in
which
the
built
environmentis
considered as a whole. This approachallows engineers to anticipate changes intemperature, understand key properties
ofmaterials(expansion
andcontraction), facilitate better utilizationofcapturedenergy, and improve
acoustics and comfort for users of thebuildings.

FOREWORDINTRODUCTIONCIVIL ENGINEERINGPROCESS DIGITALIZEDA digital transformation: from BIM to virtual twin

CIVIL ENGINEER ROLEJOB OUTLOOK

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is
the process of creating and managing
digital information about a built asset.
BIM software has helped to improve
productivity in the design phase due to its
ability to visualize designs and create 3D
images of a building, as well as automate
creation of drawings, quantity takeoffs, analysis, simulations, etc. Since
the late 2000s, BIM has been
increasingly
introduced
toglobaldesign companies, contractors andmaterial manufacturers.

Nowadays, thanks to the use of a unified
framework of cross-disciplinary information,
as well as a simplified interoperability
with other software, virtual twins are now
currently taking over the traditional methods
for infrastructure development, operationand maintenance. They optimize the wholebuilding management and guarantees
predictive maintenance and performance ofthe construction, all through its lifecycle.

What does a civil engineer do?
We explained in the previous sections theneed for civil engineers to understand how
digital technology influences the way theywork and the challenges it creates for them.
Civil engineers are indeed challenged toconsider constantly changing conditions,such as population growth and climatechanges and digital habitat. Natural
disasters are another topic that civilengineers must consider for safeguarding
lives and restoration after damages.

CIVIL ENGINEER ROLE

In their daily jobs, civil engineers mustmeet regulatory standards, prioritize
safety, consider environmental risks, theendurance of materials and anticipate costs
for the construction as well as long-term
maintenance. Civil engineers work closelywith architects to determine the best
options for harmonizing the surrounding
environment and ensuring sustainable
practices.

FOREWORDINTRODUCTIONCIVIL ENGINEERINGPROCESS DIGITALIZED

According to O*NET OnLine, the UnitedStates Standard Occupations Classification(SOC) program, a civil engineer “performs
engineering duties in planning, designingand overseeing construction as well as
maintenance of building structures andfacilities, such as roads, railroads, airports,
bridges, harbors, channels, dams, irrigation
projects, pipelines, power plants, waterand sewage systems”. ESCO (European
Skills/Competences, Qualifications andOccupations) describes civil engineers’
missions as “conduct research, advise on,design, and direct construction; manage
the operation and maintenance of civilengineering structures; or study and advise
on technological aspects of particularmaterials.”

Civil engineering may lead to multiple jobs,
and engineers may specialize into one ofthem. For example, construction engineers
manage large construction projects,
geotechnical engineers ensure the solid
foundation of engineering projects, liketunnels and buildings, while structural
engineers design and evaluate planning ofmajor buildings, bridges or dams and ensure
they are built to last. Finally, transportationengineers plan roadway construction andmaintenance, as well as design airports,
subways and railways systems.

According to Marion, a key rule today is to get as
rich information content as possible, because thereuse of information in the future is uncertain.
As data and asset management is representing
the biggest part of the civil engineering job in
Infrastructure, this must be anticipated.
“There will be a more complex shift towards
digitalization in the future”, she is saying. There willbe also a shift related to tendering processes, future
procurement methods and quality documentation.
For a civil engineer, environment impacts also play a
key role on the way she works: “Environmental impacts
require civil engineers to address and try to solve
problems”, she is saying. In Finland, climate changes
with shorter frost periods are currently impacting theenvironment a lot (like durability of the road); so, digitaltwin technology would be able to take into accountthose impacts. This is, therefore, making a shift in theway civil engineers think and work.

A civil engineer who is part of multidisciplinary
teams should have the ability to address any typeof problems with other actors, like thinking
about some solutions to reduce carbon
emissions. With the growth of international
projects, language skills are going to berequired. “It is important for a civil engineer toread the culture to allow a fruitful collaboration
between all international stakeholders”, Marion
said.

Digital twins are making a shift in the way people work andthink. Earlier, a civil engineer was designing, building andmanaging the maintenance; now, with digital twins, a civilengineer can, in addition to this, rethink the whole process andcollect information related to the environment he works on,
and better prepare it for the future.

Lorris Millet

BIM Manager | Bouygues Construction, France
Lorris is a BIM manager for Bouygues
Construction group in France. He is responsible
for managing the digital model of a hugeEuropean Railway project in Paris, andwhich
involves
leading
production
andverifying formwork plans for the construction
site and the studies from the 3D model. Hismissions are to guarantee conformity of his projectwith the real construction, so that the customer
inherits a complete model and a picture of theconstruction site.
According to Lorris, an engineer needs to havecalculation, collaboration and decision making
skills to work in civil engineering disciplines. In
addition, he mentions the ability to master
CAD and 3D modeling software, as well as
understanding all the technical phases,
and organizational skills to coordinate
all the stakeholders. BIM has great
potential and will continue its
expanding deployment.

CIVIL ENGINEER ROLE

Lorris studied at ESTP engineering school inFrance, which defines itself as a gold-standard
international school for sustainable construction.
According to him, “sustainable construction
includes an environmental part, in which recycled
and less-polluting materials are at the heart of theenvironmental impacts; for example, aggregate
for concrete or bituminous coating can bederived from plastic recycling, or woodconstruction for structural designs.”
Civil engineers need to rethink theirconstruction methods and avoid massive
demolitions and deconstructions thatstill occur today, as well as “isolated
and partitioned neighborhoods that are
subject to mutation and further
changes.” A response to those
problems inside cities could
be eco-neighborhoods orcity centers’ construction inorder to improve people’s
comfort and quality of life.

In 10 years from now,
BIM will be much moredeveloped in publicconstruction works
and also required in
the building phases inorder to save time indesign, execution andoperations phases.

BIM Modeler | SNC
Lavalin, Canada

Christophe is a BIM Modeler
working in Railways Industry.
He gives us his insights
regardingthedigitaltransformationoftheindustry. He says the BIM
model “is useful from the very
startof
the study byidentifying more easily the challenges that could
not be anticipated with 2D. BIM acts as a decision
facilitator to convince a client, thanks to the useof virtual and augmented reality.”
According to Christophe, thanks to BIM,
all sub-disciplines are now interconnected
and actors can now coordinate together
through the 3D model, which definitely
improves the overall collaboration between
the teams: “ENGINEERS are more and moredesigning in 3D in order to easily coordinate
the concepts and reduce the iterations,
TECHNICIANS are drawing directly on the 3Dmodel, SURVEYORS are able to extract thequantities directly from the model, and
MANAGERS can interact with them all andgive their comments through the 3D model.”Scott Smith

and Mining Engineering, University of Adelaide

CIVIL ENGINEER ROLE

“Certainly digitalization inconstruction has been a slow
mover, but the time is reallyright for a disruption.” Hesees “digitalization finding its
way into design, construction,
operation, and also into
decommissioning of structures.
The way we are using technology tocommunicate and work together has got to besomething that we need to incorporate into our
education programs moving forward.”

At 3DEXPERIENCE Edu, we interviewed aleader from buildingSMART association. Discover
the full interview here:• How did the civil engineering job/disciplinechange over the past years?
Civil engineering is a career that has undergone
many positive changes in the last few years. The
importance of civil engineering has never been
more obvious. Digital applications have changed
the way the role has been defined and offers
unique opportunities for the value it will create.
Demand for better data in early phases of a projectthat is needed for operations and maintenanceis becoming an important role for engineers thatneed to make that data more accessible.
• Will it still be evolving in the upcoming years?
There will be changing demands in many vocationsin the coming years. The need for interoperable
data delivered by engineers is already becominga reality. The role of technology will enhance

with more simulation and gaming-type software
being part of the job. You can already deliver
added-value in many civil engineering projects
by using enhanced software to better plan, buildand construct assets. This will only get moreadvanced.

FOR CIVIL ENGINEERINGTESTIMONIALSCONCLUSION• How do virtual twins transform the job?
Twins are clear accelerators for the industry
today. They will allow companies to span new
domains, develop new partnerships andbusiness models and connect to data notpreviously imagined. For civil engineers, this
could mean different ways of working andnew ways of delivering value to clients. Areas
like data science and data mining can enableoptimization of workflows and best practices
and lead to significant opportunities for civilengineers when technologies are applied.

The future of civilengineering job is very
exciting and it’s
probably more criticalthan ever!

	Sometechnologies are quite simple, such asdelivering data models to construction fieldcrews. Making sure construction field crews haveaccurate data is critical and something that has
not been widely achieved. Other technologies likedrone capture technology is changing the way
surveying and engineering is done. Having quick
and accurate data models captured by drones isenabling new ways of managing and monitoring
assets. Sensor data is also becoming mainstream,with the ability to continually manage and monitor
site conditions is of real value.
• 	What are the main skills a civil engineer shouldhave today?
	 good balance between technical and technologyAis key. I would also say an understanding for theneed for open digital standards – this would help
the industry tremendously!

• Are graduates who are recruited today

Technical Solution Director | Construction, Cities &Territories, Dassault Systèmes
According to Jonathan, there is currently a business
transformation change. New roles and standards
have emerged. Consequently, the civil engineer’s
job is being transformed, mainly through theintroduction of BIM methodology in the building
industry. Nowadays, civil engineers “spend moretime on 3D modeling applications that become themain source of information for all elements attached
to a project.”

CIVIL ENGINEER ROLEJOB OUTLOOKInfrastructure projects are also part of multiple
systems that need to be considered as large-scale
projects. Cloud-based apps also help stakeholders
to collaborate on the same referential.
Jonathan tells us the 3DEXPERIENCE by
Dassault Systèmes serves as a real influencing
tool, being a real-time collaborative platform.
Jonathan is convinced civil engineers cancontribute to a more sustainable world as theindustryismovingtowards
moresustainable design approaches. “Traditional 2D
paper documents are being replaced by virtual
drawings from 3D reference models”, he said.
Finally, the shift in the discipline willcontinue towards a more “unified reference
that will guarantee the traceability of thebuilt asset over decades,” he concludes.
