Abstract

In this study we try to explore the concept of “Construction engineering” in a holistic context. The main focus of the research is on “Construction engineering” and its relation with “Wales”. The research also analyzes many aspects of “Construction engineering” and tries to gauge its effect on “Wales”. Finally the research describes various factors which are responsible for “Construction engineering” and tries to describe the overall effect of “Construction engineering” on “Wales”.

Chapter 1: Introduction

The construction is a major industry, both for its economic weight and its impact on the environment. Shipbuilding and aircraft construction, etc., Are equivalent concepts in architectural construction, referring to the techniques of engineering specializing in ships, aircraft, etc. The construction sector is one of the highest accident rate in Europe. The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) is a supra-national body to ensure the safety of workers in the European Union and has substantial information to improve working conditions for construction workers.
