What Does a Geotechnical Engineer Do?
A geotechnical engineer uses his education and experience to guard and maintain the earth’s physical environment in conjunction with the development of major public and private projects. His expertise in civil engineering construction and design enable him to safely investigate and analyze sites and determine their present and future stability. These projects normally involve major changes to the physical environment, and often include tunneling and the construction of major structures like buildings, bridges, dams, airport runways, and towers.
