There’s more to roads than asphalt. The arteries of a city or community form an intricate system of technology and function that requires care and good design from many engineering disciplines. Consider all that lies within a road corridor – pipes in the ground, electrical and communications wires, drainage, culverts, and sidewalks. When civil systems come together well, cities operate efficiently, and people move throughout the community safely. The end-goal of civil systems, beyond the obvious time/cost balance, is predictable, reliable community services that is designed and built in a sustainable way.
