Engineering Geology
About Engineering Geology
Engineering geology is the application of geology to engineering studies in order to ensure that the geological considerations relating to the location, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of engineering works are acknowledged and taken into account.
Engineering geologists do research and analysis to ascertain how the earth and constructions created by humans interact. Their duties can fall under geological, geotechnical, or environmental research.
Why is Engineering Geology important?
Engineering geology aids in ensuring a safe and economical design for building projects. Getting geological data for a project site is crucial for planning, designing, and building an engineering project.
Careful planning and hazard analysis are necessary for large civil engineering projects. Geologists that specialize in engineering can conduct thorough evaluations to look into all potential risks. In order to make suggestions for foundation and shoring design, they can conduct geotechnical engineering investigations.
