We also have several streams that are important to the civil engineering context. Those include the environmental engineering stream, which relates to clean water, water treatment, and water cycles; and the geotechnical stream, which deals with the foundations and earth works upon which most buildings are founded.
Plusieurs volets ont de l'importance dans le contexte du génie civil, soit le génie de l'environnement — qui concerne l'eau salubre, l'épuration des eaux et les cycles hydrologiques — et la géotechnique, qui traite des fondations des édifices et des travaux de terrassement qui précèdent presque toute construction.
