A new report issued by the Geo-Institute and prepared by the Geotechnical Constructability Task Force is targeted at owners, and seeks to educate them on why they need the services of a geotechnical engineer and what types of geotechnical reports there are and what they should look for in those reports. These recommendations are based on the informal Geo-Coalition, comprised of geotechnical designers, specialty contractors and professional organizations similar to the Geo-Institute, such as AEG, ADSC, ASFE, DFI, PDCA and others. With so many people weighing in on this document over the past 5 years, it seems like geotechnical engineers had better pay attention to what these folks are saying should be in your report! I certainly will be looking it over. [Source: Geo-Institute. Image: Geo-Institute]
