Every development you see above and below ground except for electricity and telephone lines is the work of the Civil Engineer...
Dams
Roads,rail,bridges
Pipes,taps,sewerage,
stormwater drains
Harbours,Airports
Buildings
Factories
For sufficient water at acceptable pressure to come out of a tap, there are many equations to understand….
To design a helical stair, there are many equations to understand…..
Civil engineering achievements of
extraordinary proportion, brought
relief and prosperity to
millions

Engineers, Andrew Geddes Bain, and Thomas Bain developed the early roads and engineer George Pauling the railway network
The Institution is there essentially to assist every Civil Engineering professional to develop and make the most of his/her profession ….
Carries out career guidance Raises bursaries Develops codes and guidelines Runs courses Offers extensive input to government Provides mentors, mediators and
arbitrators Seeks funding, job and project
opportunities Provides reviewers & manages
interviewing & registration for ECSA
Requires Codes and guidelines
Most of these are developed by SAICE, including the SABS
documents relating to sound Civil engineering practice
Continuing Professional development is needed to keep up with changing times - this has been recognised worldwide by all professions and SAICE performs this role
RegistrationTo register a graduate must:Must have a minimum of 3 or 4 year studiesGain experiential training under the guidance of a
mentor for at least 3 years … usually 6-7 yearsAttend courses relevant to his/her developmentWrite essays on professional practice topics
developed by SAICEMust submit a detailed experiential report which is scrutinized by experts in the fieldMust attend a professional interview and be accepted
SAICE does this for ECSA
Membership of Learned Societies
Mandatory membership of SAICE as the learned society for Civil Engineering is imperative in the interests of
professional competence and public welfare.

Funding sources / responsibility for ECSA
If government is to have such a statutory body to act on behalf of the public, then funding is needed from government to offer public protection.
•Deterrent for non registered operators
•Bigger watch dog?
•Fee control to ensure no short cuts?

Two Council representatives and one voluntary representative on the CBE from the Engineering Council is totally inadequate!

Project and Construction Management
•If we are to register for PM specialization then we must register every specialist discipline
•Membership of voluntary socieites assists members keep up with appropriate technology
Project and Construction Management
•WISA•IWM•SARF•IMIESA•PMISA…..etc
Project and Construction Management
Dual registration for Project and Construction Management for professional Civil Engineers experienced in this field is unnecessary duplication.
If there is a problem then … prevention is better than cure
Address it at University level of all development professionals
CBE Funding
State funding for monitoring the Built Environment profession is essential.
•Bill says no funding from State - all
R 1.5m carried by professionals
•Meeting 19 April says R15 per head, and State balance
•Yesterday different….
Fees
State funding for safeguarding the public against unprofessional conduct is essential.
•For CBE
•Two or more Councils
•Will erode membership of voluntary societies and the very standards we are trying to improve
The Appeal Procedure
Technical appeals must be handled by technical experts.
An Integrated Approach
In terms of the statutory structures, all constituents of the Built Environment Professions should be administrated in one structure.
• Profession - without a vision, man will perish.
•People
•Country
•Continent
‘...the African renaissance can only succeed if its aims and objectives are defined by the Africans themselves, if its programmes are designed by ourselves and if we take responsibility for the success or failure of our policies’
Our President, Thabo Mbeki
in his book ‘Africa: The time has come.’
