The Washington American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) has once again recognized GeoEngineers’ work during the chapter’s annual 2019 Engineering Excellence Awards. Three projects received awards Friday night at the award gala in Bellevue, Washington. This is the thirteenth consecutive year GeoEngineers has won awards from ACEC Washington. ACEC Washington gave a Gold Best in […]

To uncover the expert insights into K-12 school projects you’ll find below, we talked to Associate Geotechnical Engineer Morgan McArthur and collected his advice for today’s blog post. If you have additional questions don’t hesitate to contact Morgan directly through his bio page. Our geotechnical engineers and environmental scientists regularly work on K-12 school projects, […]

GeoEngineers works within many complex ecosystems, where understanding the influence of each species on the overall picture is often key. Sometimes a single species can make dramatic contributions on the overall health of our natural resources. These important species are often called “ecosystem architects.” Their presence or absence often dictates whether the ecosystem functions as […]

The coastal marshes of Louisiana and other states are a valuable resource. Sadly, in many areas they are slowly disappearing. By working together with ports and other industries, we can use river sediment to restore shrinking marshland.

GeoEngineers developed the HOME (Habitat Optimization Modeling of Ecosystems) model as a unique visualization tool to help us predict the quality of river habitat and ecosystems through time, based on proposed changes to the river system. This video shows the modeling software in action, and demonstrates the power the HOME approach can have on river […]

Reliable drilling investigations are the cornerstone of geotechnical work. The soil data our drill teams gather is the basis of most of GeoEngineers’ geotechnical designs and recommendations. Even in ideal conditions, drilling operations can be challenging and unpredictable. But when we need soil information from below a river bottom it requires a team of exceptional […]

The related fields of engineering, construction and environmental science require lots of photographs. We take photos to show our clients the status of a work site, document a task, promote our project and expertise, or even just for fun. Although photos are a common part of many on-site tasks, and we’re all used to taking […]

GeoEngineers Principal Jon Robison, PE has been chosen by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) to lead the Task Committee creating a Manual of Practice on the Direct Pipe® trenchless method. The committee will be comprised of engineers, contractors and equipment manufacturers and suppliers from across North America and Europe. A manual in this […]

Recent updates to seismic building standards by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) promise to bring changes to the engineering industry. The ASCE is the primary authoritative source for engineering standards in the United States. State and local jurisdictions often refer to ASCE standards for their building codes, and revised ASCE 7-16 guidance on […]

Mark Miller and Jon Robison of GeoEngineers’ Pipeline Team recently gave a crash course on Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) for some of our friends in the Chicago area. More than 30 staff from Peoples Gas, Wisconsin Energy, and North Shore Gas attended the free training session, which covered the basics of HDD design and construction. […]
