It doesn't need electricity.
It doesn't need fuel.
It doesn't even ask for overtime.
Just a bit of grass, good engineering, and it faithfully reports for duty every rainy season.
So next time you drive past a embankment covered in grass, don't dismiss it as "just landscaping."
That's one of the hardest-working pieces of civil engineering you'll never notice... until it's missing. 😂
Civil engineering isn't just about building roads—it's about making sure they survive the next storm.
