Maine Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks
Maine’s built environment is made up of many diverse and innovative civil engineering projects. These constructed civil works are a reflection of the colorful and talented civil engineers who have lived or worked in Maine since the 1700’s. The projects highlighted in this brochure are some of the early contributions of these civil engineers which have been recognized and commemorated by the Maine Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
Today, civil engineers continue to improve the quality of life for Maine’s general public by designing and building clean drinking water facilities, efficient structures with regard to energy use and construction materials, wastewater treatment plants, highways and bridges, waste containment facilities, energy production facilities, and more. We encourage you to visit these historic civil works sites to appreciate the ingenuity of Maine’s early civil engineers.
