The infrastructure engineer builds roads and the drainage, water, power and telecom networks. The work stretches over long distances and is measured by kilometre and chainage, not by floor.
They deal with many authorities: the municipality, traffic police and utility companies, and every excavation needs a permit. Any old buried line can stop work for days.
In EDC the work shows on the project map by chainage, and every snag or test has its place by coordinates. Progress is logged by the metre from a phone on site.
Excavation permits and their dates are recorded, and existing lines show on the map before digging. At the end, the as-built of the networks comes out ready for the municipality.
