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.
