While Singapore has many civil engineers, picking one is a difficult task. While there are many factors to take into consideration when choosing an underground civil engineering contractor, you also need to make sure they are professionals and experts in their field. Here are a few factors to look out for when deciding on an underground civil engineering contractor. 

Use of Safety Gear

Safety is a huge must for any engineer - it is commonly known that the lack thereof has caused many unfortunate accidents, and even death at construction sites. Depending on the type of project, there are different types of safety equipment and gear that underground civil engineering contractors can utilise. For example gloves, safety glasses and shoes, earplugs, muffs, respirators and coveralls are all commonly used in underground civil engineering projects, depending on the site's safety requirements. Ensure your underground civil engineering contractors wear all the required safety gear when embarking on your project. 

Reflective jackets are a must when it comes to any type of work, as it improves visibility. A helmet - in varying degrees of strength is also an essential safety item that must be worn. 

Works for a Reputed Company

A civil engineering company must, without fail, have a good reputation. They must absolutely be able to vouch for the underground civil engineering contractors that they employed. If the engineer has many recommendations and works for a reputable company, then that is your green flag to go ahead and hire them.

The engineers at Lih Ming are professionals and have been in the field for many years, garnering experience in various civil engineering projects. Some of our employees have even worked on some famous Singaporean projects, so contact us for the most reputable engineers in Singapore. 

Quick Problem Solving Skills

One of the most important skills an underground civil engineering contractor should possess is the ability to quickly problem-solve under pressure. This is why civil engineering is sometimes considered a creative career. A quick conversation with your contracted engineer will tell you all you need to know. This is another reason why experience is important, as the only time in the field will be able to arm an engineer with the ability to think on their feet. 

So, if your project is a big one and requires some creative thinking, talk to us and we will help you find the most suited engineer for you. 

Types of Technology Utilised

Civil engineering is particularly reliant on technology - all throughout a project. During the designing process, underground civil engineering contractors tend to use computer programmes to come up with a realistic picture of the design, for an idea of the final outcome. Certain tools are also used during the project to measure certain exterior elements such as characteristics of land and materials. 

We recommend you do some research on the type of technology and computer software used. As times progress, more and more options are available. At Lih Ming, our engineers use the latest software and computers, which help them look at the project with a precision that could otherwise not be achieved.
