| You could say that engineering is in Matt Roblez’ blood. “My dad was a structural engineer, and I started working for him as a print boy when I was 13 years old,” he says. So it was only natural that his career took him into the same... (Read More)

Although its output stands for decades or even centuries, few fields change as much or as profoundly as structural engineering. At the cutting edge of technological development, structural engineering embraces development and change. One side of... (Read More)

The smart building, intelligent architecture, the Internet of Things — these buzzwords are common in the architecture, design, civil engineering and construction industries today. But they’re more than impressive words to throw around at... (Read More)

Laser scanning technology is growing fast in the construction industry around the world. By collecting vast data sets, laser scanning allows architects and engineers to create data-rich, detailed 3D models that are far more accurate than models... (Read More)

Roofs just don’t get the attention they deserve. It’s not hard to understand why. We rarely see the roof, especially of a commercial or industrial building. As a result, problems can go unseen for too long, leading to unnecessarily extensive... (Read More)

Drones are transforming the architectural, engineering and construction industries. Civil engineering is one of the fastest-changing professions today, and that’s driven mostly by technological development. From 3D modeling software to laser... (Read More)

One of the most exciting developments today in the structural engineering studio is integrating 3D visualization into building information modeling systems. Technology has transformed the way engineers work, and it continues to do so... (Read More)
