Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A technical position responsible for designing and planning piping systems in civil engineering projects.
Description
Piping Construction Design Engineers (Civil Engineering) design piping systems such as water supply and sewage, gas, and drainage to be properly incorporated into civil structures. Based on information obtained from site surveys, they optimize piping routes, consider support structures and burial depths, and perform calculations based on structural mechanics and fluid dynamics. They create drawings using CAD and confirm compliance with relevant laws and regulations (Water Supply Act, Sewerage Act, Gas Business Act, etc.). They collaborate with contractors and other engineers to ensure the quality and safety of construction based on the design drawings.
Future Outlook
Due to increasing demand for measures against aging social infrastructure and renewal projects, stable employment opportunities are expected. Acquiring digital technologies such as BIM/CIM will enhance market value.
