When it’s time to break ground on a new project, working with an expert team is the best way to guarantee success. In construction, success means finishing a job on time and on budget. In order to meet these goals and build a structure that will stand the test of time, you need a solid foundation. Working with a geotechnical engineer is the only way to gain a true understanding of the subsurface conditions at your site, develop a flexible plan to accommodate, and ensure the foundation of your building is sound.
With that in mind, you may be wondering if all geotechnical engineering firms are the same. Below, we will discuss what our team does that makes us unique, and how we can benefit you on your next project.

Engineering Geology vs. Geotechnical Engineering
If you are assembling a team for your next project, it is important to have an understanding of what each member can bring to the table. While engineering geology and geotechnical engineering have overlaps and similarities, there are differences to note when comparing engineering geology vs. geotechnical engineering.
An engineering geologists’ primary discipline is geology, with training in geotechnical engineering and geoenvironmental education. A geotechnical engineer, on the other hand, has more primary experience approaching projects from an engineering perspective. This frame of approach is perhaps the most distinctive difference when looking at engineering geology vs. geotechnical engineering. An engineering geologist may have a penchant for sample collection and geological modeling, while a geotechnical engineer may be better suited to systematically interpret data from a site investigation and make plans accordingly.
We have both specialists on staff, ready to solve your geo-related needs. Turning to Central Geotechnical Services, LLC allows you to benefit from working with a multidisciplinary team that can approach your project from all necessary perspectives.
