Name 10. Bonus (20 additional Points) Open-ended question related to geotechnical engineering companies and profession. What do you think of geotechnical engineers do? How do you think of geotechnical project processes should be from project securement to final report delivery based on your independent review study of soil report chosen? Please call, google, search and do your own research on the local geotechnical companies immediately around your greater area (including Chicago or others that interests you) and provides your dream company address, contact information or website. What services do they do? (These questions are simply intended to helpful for your preparation for possible geotechnical companies\' employment before or immediately after your graduation.)

Solution

Please find geotechnical companies around your state.

I am providing what do these people do.

Field test: after research into soil quality and stress-bearing factors, geotechnical engineers must determine whether issues like erosion, settlement and slope will pose a safety risk to the proposed project.

Computer analysis: as a geotechnical engineer, you will be required to analyse the results of subsurface investigations and field tests with dedicated software. Your ability to understand data and model future conditions will be crucial to the development of the construction project. After analysis, geotechnical engineers may be required to assist in the development of earthworks and foundations suitable to the conditions of the site.

Client meetings: a regular duty of the geotechnical engineer is to meet with clients for evaluations of project progress. Budget and time constraints will be important factors in any discussion and geotechnical engineers will be expected to know and provide a variety of important information.

Geotechnical life

Geotechnical engineers will be required to spend most of their time in the field - and in analysis laboratories. The job involves lots of travel and plenty of strict deadlines - and work in most weather conditions. A geotechnical engineer should be inquisitive, motivated and dedicated but will also require formal, university level training - a bachelors degree, sometimes in a subject relating to the field (mathematics, science, geology). Beyond the undergraduate level, some postgraduate courses may deliver an advantage when applying for geotechnical positions. Professional accreditation may also be required.
