Meet of civil engineers to discuss emerging challenges
July 21, 2016
The two-day conference of the Association of Consulting Civil Engineers beginning here tomorrow, would deliberate on the emerging challenges and opportunities in the sector.
The theme ‘Professional Delivery Systems in the Indian Construction Industry – A Futurist View’ was selected as the delivery systems were strained and “the industry is moving on a fast track with the prevailing technology driven environment” chairman of the local chapter of ACCE (I), S. Balasubramaniam, told reporters here today.
Inconsistencies in delivery systems due to multidisciplinary activities in the construction industry could lead to failure and consequent loss of lives and resources, he claimed.
“Delivery system is a mechanism to ensure appropriate professional services by professionals involved in construction projects so that every building/structure conceived, planned, designed, executed and maintained are safe and economical with sustainability and aesthetics,” Balasubramaniam added.
Engineering Council of India, a body formed by over 30 professional organizations, has taken up the responsibility to regulate the services, “since the Engineering Bill has been pending in parliament for the last 10 years”, its board member, S. Ratnavel said.
With the need for industry-institution interaction becoming essential and important, as a large number of engineering graduates come out of colleges every year, ACCE will sign an agreement with two engineering colleges to provide value added courses in civil engineering, he added.
