- Abstract
Mining engineers, especially in nineteenth-century Spain, were a type of technician in general willing to broaden the scope of their activities beyond the production of coal, in auxiliary work in many cases and sometimes in less closely related fields. Adolphe Desoignie was an engineer who applied his knowledge to the mines, but also practised civil engineering in terrestrial and marine communications, urban planning or sanitation of the town of Aviles and the province of Asturias in the mid-nineteenth century, when industrialization and modernization in general advanced together and in fits and starts. He took part in both developments and left his mark.
