Developing and encouraging the use of modern computer and information technology in civil engineering.
Where civils get connected!

Purpose

To promote the science and art of the use of electronic computers in the field of civil engineering by the dissemination of information relating to electronic computational procedures and apparatus, and by holding formal and informal meetings relating to these subjects.

The planning, design, construction and maintenance of facilities for transport by railways, harbours and pipelines.
Keeping you on track and afloat!

Purpose

To advance and expand the science and practice of civil engineering in the provision and maintenance of facilities for transport by railways, road and motor services, harbours, airways, and pipelines, and to promote the civil engineering profession in the above field. This is pursued by the holding of meetings, site visits and social gatherings.

Promoting the art and science of water engineering, including water resources, water quality investigation and development, and the provision of water supply and sanitation.
Water is life!

Purpose

The promotion of the art and science of water engineering. This is achieved by the dissemination of information, by the publication of hydraulic engineering papers, reports and articles, by the holding of meetings and symposia and by the organisation of visits to works of hydraulic engineering interest. The division also seeks to promote hydraulic engineering research and to encourage students to study in the field. The division furthermore interacts closely with the South African National Committee of the Engineering Committee for Oceanic Resources in promoting coastal engineering.

Promoting awareness and understanding of the interaction between and the interpreting of the natural and the built environment, and advancing the practice of engineering which is environmentally sustainable.
Where nature and humanity are in harmony!

Environmental Engineering is about the impact studies of the social and natural environment. They focus on the impact of civil engineering on the environment and create an effective balance between the two.

Promoting expertise in the field of soil mechanics and foundation engineering, and working with engineering geologists in the allied field of rock mechanics.
Rooted in African soil!

Purpose

To promote co-operation amongst scientists and engineers, to encourage the interchange of knowledge and ideas, to disseminate the results of research work or innovative construction techniques in the field of soil mechanics and foundation engineering, and to foster the application of safe, economic, practical and modern geotechnical methods in South Africa. These aims are achieved by active participation in affairs of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, by assisting in the organisation of the regional conferences and symposia, by arranging meetings throughout the year at various centres in the country, as well as educational courses for practising engineers, and the publication of a newsletter. Close ties are maintained with engineering geologists as well as those specialists in the allied field of rock mechanics. 

To advance the theoretical knowledge and practice of structural engineering and to encourage the improvement of standards and techniques.
The backbone of our buildings!

Purpose

To advance the theoretical knowledge and practice of structural engineering, to encourage the improvement of standards and techniques, and to enhance the standing of this branch of the profession. 

 This division represents the interests of the SAICE Structural Division as well as the Institution of Structural Engineers UK.
