As a geologist who prepares geotech reports, you'd probably be shocked to find out that a decent number of SFR clients try to submit for permits w/o getting a geotech report first, so it ALWAYS gets rejected in any city.
Drainage is a b**ch and seattle rules on trees are tough.

On further review, maybe geotech would use a plastic core barrel liner? I’m less familiar with that, I’ve never seen it done but I haven’t seen a lot of geotech investigations. My sense is they don’t usually care enough to use a liner

i cant believe i live in a timeline where random pedestrians are being charged with vandalizing a pond and no chemist, geotech, pool specialist, or 8th grade teacher can help them by explaining biology and de-lamination to a investigation

he was also notably quite crazy. i was the only geotech he hadn’t hung up on or cussed out, prob bc i was the only geotech who looked like this lol

I had a fantastic visit to Geotech Environmental Equipment, Inc. today where I toured the facility and engaged in discussions about how tariffs are impacting their business. I’m excited to see innovative companies like this driving progress in Colorado!

Indulged in some garden retail therapy this morning and spent the last hour or so primping the front garden. I have the wrapper of a roll of geotech fabric, but not the roll of geotech. Gaaaaah 🙃

I came here to say exactly this. Ensure they have experience in this field not just general geotech or civil.

The decision made my blood boil. The City focused the environmental on views because that was the only impact. The idea that the report should have covered geotech, noise, or bio resources (in Midway?!) more thoroughly than they did is ludicrous.

I talked to my boss on Monday and told her that between the 2.5 hours of daily commuting and all the field work, I’m really unhappy at my job. Im going on vacation in early April so I have about 3 more weeks and then I’m quitting. I’ve realized the geotech field just isn’t a good fit for me.

"Remember, we're talking about hundreds of kilometres of tunnels," ... #ABC730 spokes-idiot.
(He has exactly no way to know what tunnels may remain accessible in Gaza, but here's a tip from an old geotech with tunnelling experience: it ain't 100s of kilometres. How do these people get gigs.)

Put me down for a tour around Ōtautahi Chistchurch. I give a mean (and nerdy) geotech-y earthquake tour.

I work in critical infrastructure projects and what Robert is saying is correct. Unless you get a shovel in the ground and start building, it is effectively Dead.
I don’t care if you 100% design something or even do geotech sampling as part of design, it, is, dead.

There's been a lot of discussion about bringing transit projects to 100% design.
The Center City Connector has been at 100% design for nearly ten years. It was almost fully funded, with a $75 million federal funding agreement. Pre-construction work had even begun.
It is now considered "dead."

This. I want to camp, and make maps on my computer, and if I have to I’ll do geotech tests in the lab. Mostly I want to ride my mountain bike and look at rocks.

Idk if anything about the normal fed procurement process holds here but it looks like archaeology to me - geotech wouldn’t use a plastic core barrel or screen half in an arch screen. Not hard to find unscrupulous firms tho - AECOM is the ballroom engineer and has a big midatlantic CRM presence

A crew was doing geotech work in the long-vacant lot at the other end of Magoun last week, maybe we’ll get twin affordable towers. Bring it on.

I had an interview today for a geotech project manager position and during it I said something about how “yeah, I’m used to going out to site and poking the dirt.” As soon as I said it, I saw the interviewers eyes shot at me and I immediately knew I made the mistake of calling soil dirt.

The ACoW was involved in approving micrositing of tracks & towers and especially for significant infrastructure movements that were managed under a design change mechanism; their input was akin to a mini EIA - along with ECoW, Hydro, Geotech etc.

Preparedness planning for high-risk, high-impact, high-velocity events by govts is broader than geotech hazards - but seldom so dramatically needed, nor as metaphorical.

No easy fix to clean up the slide on SR 971 South Lakeshore Rd near Chelan. Our geotech team reviewed the site and is working on a plan but it's not going to happen overnight. Road remains closed from the state park to Scenic Ranch Lane, detour is Navarre Coulee Rd. @wspd6pio
