AMICE subscription fee

SAICE members qualify for a 62.5% discount on an AMICE subscription

Representation for civil engineers

SAICE is involved in the development of policies, standards, structures and systems that impact infrastructure engineering at national and international levels.

One of the rife issues within industry at the moment is the importation of Cuban expertise into our country, to address skills shortage. We have been instrumental in voicing the concerns of the industry towards this matter.

Our representation extends also to Infrastructure Departments in South Africa, international bodies like UNESCO, World Federation of Engineering Organisations (WFEO). SAICE also has strong ties with several international organisations such as the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAE) and the World Council of Civil Engineers (WCCE)

SAICE Journal & Magazine

Our informative and award-winning monthly magazine, Civil Engineering, not only features all the technical sub_divisions within civil engineering but also keeps you up to date with various other engineering-related matters, and is handed to decision-makers when SAICE leaders meet with them, thereby illustrating the meaningful contribution that the profession is making to our country.

The quarterly journal, Journal of the South African Institution of Civil Engineering, is internationally accredited and carries peer-reviewed technical papers on cutting-edge engineering research, thereby consistently adding to the body of South African  civil engineering knowledge of which SAICE, as a learned society, is the keeper.

Outreach Community

SAICE runs many successful local and international outreach programmes such as career guidance, awareness campaigns and capacity building for decision makers. We are continually taking civil engineering to the people and increasing its awareness footprint. Some of our key initiatives include:

Civil Talk

We have created a platform in which professional talks are held on controversial topics which influence our country and industry. This event is held quarterly throughout the year. You will be invited to join the talk, which is run by a panel of Engineering professionals, those propitiously educated in their fields and government individuals who provide insight and in-depth knowledge on the related topics.

University Road Shows

Our vision of the various road-shows aimed at university students around the country creates the necessary awareness about the industry. These road-shows help students in developing their networking skills and teaches them to visualize their career paths whilst studying.

International Bridge Building Competition

We initiated the bridge building competition in 1991 to further high school learners’ use of mathematics and science in an engineering context – to encourage learners to consider civil engineering as a career. Because of its practical and hands-on nature, this event is SAICE’s most successful initiative in attracting learners from previously disadvantaged rural and township schools, model C schools and private schools to civil engineering, as well as promoting a general awareness of the civil engineering profession. The competition provides a career guidance opportunity and gives learners the opportunity to also build bridges between people, cultures and countries!

AQUALIBRIUM Schools Competition

This competition aimed at high-school learners – who are tasked to design a water model distribution network. The network familiarises them with the intricacies involved in the design. This is a wonderful opportunity which creates awareness regarding issues surrounding water in the country, spreading the message of water being a precious commodity that should be recycled, re-used, respected and conserved.
