Nowadays industrial and civil construction is in great demand. Many people do not even know what differences these terms have, so it is necessary to consider them in more detail. A large number of companies are engaged in this work because they completely specialize in it. But you need to check whether the masters have permission and experience so that this activity is carried out accordingly.
Types of services
Industrial and civil construction allows us to provide the following services:
- drawing up a feasibility study;
- creation of construction projects;
- carrying out construction and installation work;
- commissioning of the building.
These types of work are important during construction. But before using these services, you need to know the definitions of these concepts.
Civil Engineering
It represents the area of construction in which various non-production facilities are erected. These include libraries, educational institutions, theaters, hospitals, sports complexes, residential buildings and administration buildings.
Industrial and civil engineering have an important social role. But the first type of work improves people's quality of life. Its important feature is complexity. The construction of houses takes place along with the solution of urban planning issues in the field of cultural institutions and improvement.
Now one of the profitable areas is the construction of commercial buildings. Medium and small office space is in demand. Usually these buildings are erected using modern materials and technologies. Civil engineering is necessary for the improvement of the population.
Industrial engineering
This is the area of construction and restoration of buildings that are classified as industrial. Industrial construction and civil engineering are similar. But the goal of the area under consideration is to complete a complete list of works. Thanks to them, enterprises are put into operation and reconstructed.
Industrial facilities have different purposes. Construction of this type takes into account the requirements for objects. Only certified companies whose professionals have extensive experience can carry out such work.
Complex
A production complex is a network of enterprises united by a technological process. They work to ensure that the company obtains as much economic results as possible. The main elements of the complex are the buildings. These include administrative buildings and warehouses.
The production complex may include infrastructure facilities. These include pumping stations, boiler rooms, electrical substations, and employee rest areas. Industrial complexes are classified as the industrial sector. Only experienced employees are used for work.
Domestic construction
The construction of industrial and civil facilities in Russia is an important sector of the economy. It accounts for about 3% of the country's GDP. Every year this area allows us to generate income and also improve people’s living conditions. Industrial and civil construction enterprises are needed to employ many people.
The industry in demand is residential construction. It is actively developing in densely populated regions of the country. These include Moscow, St. Petersburg, Chelyabinsk, Rostov-on-Don. Large cities especially require a lot of housing as the population is constantly growing.
Getting an education
This profession is considered one of the most in demand in the world. People constantly need housing, cultural and industrial buildings. You can get an education in many universities in the country. The profile is intended for those who want not only to learn urban planning, but also to implement their plans in projects. In this job, knowledge of computers and information technology is desirable, since you have to work a lot with computer-aided design of structures and buildings.
When a bachelor's degree is issued, graduates can work in large enterprises that engage in construction design and reconstruction of facilities. Students are taught theory and practice, and are taught to perform their work professionally.
Bachelors in this profile receive general education. During their studies, students are taught to do research work. After training, graduates can get a job in engineering at a construction company. They have the right to continue their studies in master's and postgraduate studies.
Thus, the construction of industrial and civil buildings is a popular industry. With it comes an improvement in infrastructure and an increase in people's living standards. This is also necessary to improve the economy.

Currently, such an industry as construction does not stand still, but is constantly developing, introducing new technologies for the extraction and production of building materials, developing interesting methods for the construction and reconstruction of various objects necessary for human life.
Different decoding of ASG
Often, when studying special documentation and encountering construction, you can come across such an abbreviation as ASG. People working in this field immediately understand what we are talking about. ASG is understood, firstly, as sand and gravel mixtures, and, secondly, as industrial civil construction. Let's take a closer look at each definition.
Sand and gravel mixtures
Sand and gravel mixtures are non-metallic building material, which is characterized by a loose state, containing coarse gravel and sand. ASG has good physical and chemical properties and, due to its reasonable cost, is widely used in the construction industry. Depending on the percentage of gravel, there are:
- OPGS.
In the first option, according to GOST, the content of large gravel fractions should not exceed ten percent. The classic mixture is used in road construction. It is necessary for laying the top layer of the canvas, embankment and serves as a kind of drainage during construction. But for leveling the territory, this class of ASG is not suitable, due to the quantitative ratio of the fractions included in the composition (sand and gravel). For these works, it is better to choose OPGS.
Natural (classic) gravel mixture contains additional natural materials, such as quartz, clay and other impurities. Plus, depending on the mining location, the gravel composition may vary. These can be granite or limestone rocks, which will undoubtedly affect the quality characteristics of the building material.
The second abbreviation means an enriched sand and gravel mixture, in which the percentage of components is equal to 70/30. Thus, 30% is the sand content (that is, the volume of the mixture is ¼ sand and ¾ gravel). This type of building material obtained industrially, adding gravel to the ASG. Therefore, by choosing an enriched mixture for the production of concrete and concrete structures, you can be sure that the final product will be dense and frost-resistant.
The mixture is extracted using special equipment from the bottom of rivers, sand quarries and beaches. Accordingly, the characteristic properties of building materials depend on the place of extraction. The main and most important indicator of PGS is the fastening ability. Thanks to this characteristic, this the material is widely used in construction, namely:
- landscape design of the territory;
- road construction;
- concrete production;
- production of various reinforced concrete structures;
- leveling the area;
- filling holes and ditches.
When ASG is added to water or cement, so-called mortars are obtained, which are subsequently used to make concrete. But, it is necessary to remember the purpose for which cement is made and, depending on it, to observe certain proportions of ASG and cement mortar.
Thus, with an increase in the amount of liquid, the final product turns out to be less dense, but if the solution that serves as a connecting link is small, then the concrete will be dense and heavy for further work. The use of this building material in the construction of road surfaces is also known. The mixture is used to level the area where construction is taking place or repair work has been carried out.
Thus, when choosing sand and gravel mixtures, you must clearly understand what they are needed for. If for road construction, then natural ASG is suitable, if for landscape design or the manufacture of concrete structures, then OPGS is better.
PGS - industrial civil engineering
The second decoding of the abbreviation PGS means industrial civil construction. Builders are one of the in-demand professions currently. They are the ones who arrange the environment, making it suitable for human life and erect masterpieces of architecture. Engineers trained in the PGS specialty are engaged in:
- construction of industrial facilities;
- project documentation;
- construction and installation of various facilities;
- design of engineering systems and drainage;
- inspection of various structures;
- geodetic and environmental surveys;
- management throughout all stages of construction.
Thus, PGS includes all stages of construction, from design documentation to finishing of the finished structure. Engineers play a huge role in shaping the appearance of a village or city, from creating models of settlements to constructing and restoring various structures. Project activities include:
- carrying out engineering surveys;
- selection, analysis and systematization of received materials;
- creating a layout of the finished object.
Management is the organization of the work process, making important decisions and responsibility for their implementation. The inspection of structures means carrying out an inspection of the facility, analyzing the data obtained and reconstructing the finished facility.
In conclusion, it is worth repeating that the abbreviation PGS implies two definitions: mixtures of sand and gravel for construction, as well as industrial civil engineering. Mixtures are divided into classic or natural and enriched. The first option is used mainly in road construction, but the second is preferable for landscape design. Industrial and civil construction involves the development, analysis and support at all stages of construction of an object necessary for human life.
