Engineers, Andrew Geddes Bain, and Thomas Bain developed the early roads and engineer George Pauling the railway network

The Institution is there essentially to assist every Civil Engineering professional to develop and make the most of his/her profession ….

Carries out career guidance Raises bursaries Develops codes and guidelines Runs courses Offers extensive input to government Provides mentors, mediators and

arbitrators Seeks funding, job and project

opportunities Provides reviewers & manages

interviewing & registration for ECSA

Requires Codes and guidelines

Most of these are developed by SAICE, including the SABS

documents relating to sound Civil engineering practice

Continuing Professional development is needed to keep up with changing times - this has been recognised worldwide by all professions and SAICE performs this role

RegistrationTo register a graduate must:Must have a minimum of 3 or 4 year studiesGain experiential training under the guidance of a

mentor for at least 3 years … usually 6-7 yearsAttend courses relevant to his/her developmentWrite essays on professional practice topics

developed by SAICEMust submit a detailed experiential report which is scrutinized by experts in the fieldMust attend a professional interview and be accepted

SAICE does this for ECSA

Membership of Learned Societies

Mandatory membership of SAICE as the learned society for Civil Engineering is imperative in the interests of

professional competence and public welfare.

If government is to have such a statutory body to act on behalf of the public, then funding is needed from government to offer public protection.

Project and Construction Management

•If we are to register for PM specialization then we must register every specialist discipline

•Membership of voluntary socieites assists members keep up with appropriate technology

Project and Construction Management

•WISA•IWM•SARF•IMIESA•PMISA…..etc

Project and Construction Management

Dual registration for Project and Construction Management for professional Civil Engineers experienced in this field is unnecessary duplication.

If there is a problem then … prevention is better than cure

Address it at University level of all development professionals

CBE Funding

State funding for monitoring the Built Environment profession is essential.

•Bill says no funding from State - all

R 1.5m carried by professionals

•Meeting 19 April says R15 per head, and State balance

•Yesterday different….

Fees

State funding for safeguarding the public against unprofessional conduct is essential.

•For CBE

•Two or more Councils

•Will erode membership of voluntary societies and the very standards we are trying to improve

The Appeal Procedure

Technical appeals must be handled by technical experts.

An Integrated Approach

In terms of the statutory structures, all constituents of the Built Environment Professions should be administrated in one structure.

• Profession - without a vision, man will perish.

•People

•Country

•Continent

‘...the African renaissance can only succeed if its aims and objectives are defined by the Africans themselves, if its programmes are designed by ourselves and if we take responsibility for the success or failure of our policies’

Our President, Thabo Mbeki

in his book ‘Africa: The time has come.’
