The Engineer
Engineers are people who design, construct and test structures, materials and systems while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, regulation, safety, and cost.
The Consulting Engineer
Consulting Engineering is the commercial branch of engineering, focusing on Civil, Structural, Power, Mechanical, Electrical, and Electronic fields. Firms handle designs, reports, tenders, and supervise projects.
The Namibian Consulting Engineer
The Association of Consulting Engineers therefore reminds all parties that it is a legal requirement that engineering work conducted in Namibia be conducted by Namibian registered Engineers.
Engineering Skills
Some engineering firms offer complementary services like financial, management, legal, documentation, or human sciences skills, beyond traditional engineering.
Geotechnical Engineering
Focuses on the behavior of earth materials in construction, designing foundations, tunnels, and retaining walls, ensuring structural stability in various soil conditions.
Airports
Focuses on designing and constructing airport facilities, ensuring they meet the operational needs of aircraft and accommodate passenger and cargo traffic.
Security Access Control & Communications
Designs systems for controlling access to buildings and areas, integrating security measures with communication systems.
Topographic Survey
Involves mapping land features to inform construction and land development, providing accurate measurements of terrain and boundaries.
Water Treatment
Involves the purification of water for drinking, industrial use, and environmental protection, ensuring it meets safety and quality standards.
