AECOM posted a nice summary of their geotechnical expertise on their website a few months ago. It offers a nice overview of what a geotechnical engineer can contribute to a project in terms of expertise, cost savings, and reduced construction time. They also discuss their ‘living legend’, Clyde Baker, who has been involved in design and peer review of high-profile projects around the world, including the Burj Khalifa tower pictured here.

Redlands, California—The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) will implement an enterprise version of EarthSoft’s Environmental Quality Information System (EQuIS) for ArcGIS to better manage, analyze, and share geotechnical data throughout the organization. An agreement between ODOT and EarthSoft, an ESRI business partner, will see EarthSoft provide the transportation industry standard Data Interchange for Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Specialists (DIGGS) as electronic data deliverables (EDD). The new data will then reside and be accessible through ODOT’s enterprise-wide geographic information system (GIS)-supported EQuIS database.
