The university maintains most of the civil utilities on the Main Campus, East Campus, Research Park, and Williams Village, including storm sewers, foundation drains, sanitary sewers, and water lines. The campus civil engineering team is responsible for coordinating maintenance activities, updating the Civil Utility Master Plan, prioritizing projects, and ensuring that future projects conform to the goals and direction of the master plan.

The civil engineering team works with Facilities Management Outdoor Services to audit campus pavements. Every year, a team of students performs a qualitative assessment of pavements that is then compiled into a prioritized list of projects for the upcoming year.

There are many areas of campus that are subject to water intrusion/ponding from storm events.  These areas are often the result of nearby drainage and grading conditions. The civil engineering team records these areas and prioritizes corrections to minimize and eliminate their occurrence in the future.

The civil engineering team actively participates in the university’s Sustainability Action Team (SAT). We are involved in conservation projects for restrooms, laboratories and irrigation.

The civil engineering team is available to assist campus occupants with building structural questions. We can evaluate load conditions to ensure that floors are able to support new equipment weight and review structural deficiencies (such as cracks in buildings) on campus that are in possible need of repair.

The civil engineering team maintains the utility, structural, hardscapes, roofing, and waterproofing related sections of the UCB Design and Construction Standards. These standards are updated every year. We are always interested in feedback from outside consultants for helping improve standards.

The Civil Engineering group exists to aid in the construction process and ensure that our clients (students, faculty, alumni and all other visitors to campus) receive a top quality product. We strive to guarantee quality assurance in all phases of construction, from early design review all the way to final inspections and certificates of occupancy. Civil Engineering touches on many aspects of construction including stormwater management and erosion control, utility and subsurface removal and replacement, hardscapes and structural building components. The Civil Engineering group strives to make timely responses to faculty and staff requesting projects or studies, contractors or designers requesting information, and any environmental  or safety concerns.
