Civil works
Civil works is an action carried out by human beings. In this case, they refer to the construction of buildings or infrastructures that are aimed at the population. It can be roads, bridges, etc. They can be implemented by private companies or by the government administration (public works). In a broader sense, a civil work can be an act of remodeling.
These are the services that our research groups can develop. For customized information on the services, please contact us.
