TOP TECHNICAL SKILLS & SOFTWARES FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER

Top Technology trends, tools and software that can increase your chances of getting hired

If technology and infrastructure go hand in hand then we will also see more inventions like Hyper-loop, Green Spaces, Eco Living, more land reclamation technologies etc. Also concepts like artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, Machine Learning, automation will change the overall dynamics of the industry as well as our perception about how we plan, design, execute and operate the infrastructure projects.

AutoCAD Civil 3D

Civil 3D, offered by Autodesk, is used by civil engineers and other professionals to create digital models of infrastructure projects. Civil 3D is well known in the civil engineering community and widely used on a variety of infrastructure projects both large and small. Civil 3D is an engineering software application used by civil engineers and other professionals to plan, design, and manage civil engineering projects.

Civil 3D was originally created to be an add-on for AutoCAD but as its popularity and demand grew, it was further evolved and developed into a stand-alone product — built on the AutoCAD / AutoCAD Map 3D platform. Civil 3D offers many beneficial tools and features that can enhance a project such as, Corridor Modeling, Earthwork Calculations, Grading, Pipes Networks, Production Drafting, Geospatial Analysis, Point Clouds, and much more.

STAAD PRO

You can perform comprehensive analysis and design for any size or type of structure faster than ever before using the new STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition offered by Bentley Systems. You can simplify your BIM workflow by using a physical model in STAAD.Pro that is automatically converted into the analytical model for your structural analysis. You can also share synchronized models with confidence for multi-discipline team collaboration and, most importantly, deliver safe, cost-effective designs.

You can design steel, concrete, timber, aluminum, and cold-formed steel structures anywhere in the world using over 90 included international design codes, regardless of which STAAD option you choose. The software automatically converts your physical model into an analytical model to streamline your workflow. You can also improve multi-discipline team collaboration through broad interoperability with Bentley desktop and cloud and mobile applications like AECOsim Building Designer, AutoPIPE, Revit, and Tekla

Revit

Autodesk Revit is a robust design and documentation software application created by Autodesk for architects and building professionals. The tools and features that make up Revit are specifically designed to support building information modeling. It is BIM software for architects, engineers, contractors and designers. It creates a unified model that contains real-life information. It has intelligent 3D-model-based design tools and the software supports a modelling workflow, where deliverables such as drawings and schedules come directly from a single, unified model. Changes are reflected in all views of the model and adjacent/connected elements automatically update to maintain established relationships.

NEBOSH

NEBOSH (The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health) was formed in 1979 as an awarding body with charitable status. They offer a comprehensive range of globally-recognized qualifications designed to meet the health, safety and environmental management needs of all places of work. Courses leading to NEBOSH qualifications attract around 50,000 candidates annually and are offered by over 600 course providers, with exams taken in over 120 countries around the world.

Their qualifications are recognized by the relevant professional membership bodies including the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), International Institute of Risk & Safety Management (IIRSM), the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) and Institute of Environmental Management & Assessment (IEMA). NEBOSH examinations and assessments are set by its professionally qualified staff assisted by external examiners; most of whom are Chartered Safety and Health Practitioners or Chartered Environmentalists operating within industry, the public sector or in enforcement. NEBOSH is also an ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified organization.

ETABS

The innovative and revolutionary new ETABS is the ultimate integrated software package for the structural analysis and design of buildings. Incorporating 40 years of continuous research and development, this latest ETABS offers unmatched 3D object based modeling and visualization tools, blazingly fast linear and nonlinear analytical power, sophisticated and comprehensive design capabilities for a wide-range of materials, and insightful graphic displays, reports, and schematic drawings that allow users to quickly and easily decipher and understand analysis and design results.

From the start of design conception through the production of schematic drawings, ETABS integrates every aspect of the engineering design process. Creation of models has never been easier - intuitive drawing commands allow for the rapid generation of floor and elevation framing. CAD drawings can be converted directly into ETABS models or used as templates onto which ETABS objects may be overlaid. The state-of-the-art SAPFire 64-bit solver allows extremely large and complex models to be rapidly analyzed, and supports nonlinear modeling techniques such as construction sequencing and time effects

BIM

BIM (building information modeling) is a smart 3D modeling process used to efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings or infrastructure. By keeping a shared resource of project data, BIM helps keep workers, managers, and stakeholders on the same page

Primavera

The Primavera project portfolio management system enables a construction professional to plan,

manage, control, and deliver projects of any size. Primavera gives each stakeholder a consolidated dashboard with exactly the tools needed for planning, managing, controlling, and delivering projects and programs. With a single, consistent interface, the delivered content and functionality are configurable for each user or group of users, whether at the project or program level. This not only minimizes training requirements and allows for quick, meaningful adoption but also enables organizations to standardize best practices to consistently deliver successful projects across all disciplines.
