A related field to chemical and petroleum engineering shows up in the space of geotechnical design and analysis. Interestingly enough, geotechnical engineers are actually also similar to civil engineering in many ways, as well as in work for construction, environmental analysis, the military, and mining companies. They’re kind of the Flintstones family of the engineering world.
As experts in earth science and the functioning of such materials, engineers in the geotechnical space apply theoretical and practical knowledge to a range of industries and applications. If your project relates to work being completed in connection to earth materials or below the earth’s surface, you will likely need a geotechnical engineer.
Our earth specialists can help you to assess the nature of your project and clarify the type and amount of material necessary. At the dig site, your geotechnical engineer’s work will allow you to analyze the soil itself, along with any fault or rock formations in the area. This influences a determination on what properties the earth contains in that area and the proper way to go about interacting with it and working alongside it.
Whether in developing a new mine or rock quarry or setting up the foundation for a new structure, we can help. PEBS’s geotechnical engineers are the best in the business and can bring a truly incomparable level of expertise and efficiency to your project time and time again.
