The Wiley Dictionary of Civil Engineering and Construction: English-Spanish is the only source for accurate, reliable, up-to-date translations of the entire spectrum of engineering and construction terminology. The book provides comprehensive coverage of a broad range of industrial disciplines, including architecture, engineering, surveying, building, heavy construction, and municipal engineering.

More than 50,000 entries in each language are included in this comprehensive resource, including many technical terms and phrases not found in any general translation dictionary. A large assortment of these terms have been taken directly from The Contractor's Dictionary by L. F. Webster, as well as official publications, engineering specifications, and engineering textbooks. Virtually all terms and their functions were supplied by working professionals and experts in each field. To ensure accuracy, each translation has been carefully reviewed by experts in Spanish dialects.

The Wiley Dictionary of Civil Engineering and Construction: English-Spanish/Spanish-English is an indispensable resource for civil engineers and contractors, translating correspondence, specifications, and working drawings; marketers for engineering firms, preparing bids and proposals for international contracts; and engineering students, struggling to understand complex course textbooks in a foreign language. Since there is considerable overlap among engineering disciplines, many of the terms in this book are also applicable to electrical, mechanical, and structural engineering. 568 pp.
