The engineering and infrastructure markets offer very significant growth prospects, given the rapid development of urbanization and the difficulties surrounding drinking water access experienced by a large part of the world’s population, especially in emerging countries. • Engineering and infrastructure provides a wide range of specific products and solutions for these markets: glazed facades, fire-retardant glass and active glazing for major architectural projects; reinforcement grid for transportation infrastructure; and ceramic tile adhesives and grout; and floor mortars and facade products to decorate, protect and insulate industrial and public building facades. • Lastly, it designs and markets complete solutions for the water cycle: ductile iron pipe systems, industrial valves and fire hydrants, municipal castings, and wastewater and storm water collection and evacuation systems.
By contributing its products and solutions with their many advantages to large-scale projects, Saint-Gobain is able to participate in some of the world’s foremost construction projects. • The engineering and infrastructure provides invaluable logistics and other local services to construction companies, in particular by establishing outlets close to construction sites. • The Group’s experts also provide advice and support to builders in the form of solutions that combine several products and comply with specific project requirements in each country. These major worksites and reference projects inspire the Group’s employees and give them a strong sense of pride.
Engineering and infrastructure use their expertise to ensure all of these systems within a community work in unison with each other. Infrastructure Engineers can be employed by public facilities such as hospitals, schools and libraries. They can also be employed by the government at the city, county, state or national level. • The role of Infrastructure Engineer is a white-collar position, with most having a bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science or a related field. Their typical work environment is either in the office, or in the field analyzing or working on a system’s Infrastructure. • Before you can understand what infrastructure engineering is, you need to understand what the term “infrastructure” means. This term refers to all of the systems in place that support a community of any size, whether it is an apartment building, a residential community, a city, or even a nation.
Engineering and infrastructure includes: • Networks of roads, highways, and railways for transportation into and out of a community • Water and sewage systems that ensure an adequate supply of clean water as well as the disposal of waste • Power and gas grids that can handle the needs of the entire community . • Infrastructure engineering refers to the branch of engineering that coordinates all of these systems for a given engineering project, whether it is a single structure, an industrial complex, or even a whole neighborhood. • The infrastructure needed for each of these types of projects is unique, and the challenges facing engineers as they work on this type of project are great.
