TGEP 42: The Relationship Between Geological and Geotechnical Engineering

In this episode, we talk to Christina Tipp, PG, CEG, a professional geologist from SHN Consulting Engineers. Christina was previously on one of our other podcasts, The Civil Engineering Podcast, where she talked about the importance of Geological Engineering in Civil Engineering Projects. In this episode, she talks about the relationship between geological and geotechnical engineering and how being aware of it may help you in your career.

Here Are Some of the Questions I Ask Jason and Christina:

  • What is geological engineering and what do geological engineers do?
  • Why is it important for engineers to have a good understanding of the different disciplines involved in a civil engineering project?
  • Tell us about some of the civil engineering projects you have worked on in the past where you needed to get geological engineering involved on the civil engineering project?
  • How do civil engineers know when to involve a geological engineer in their projects?
  • Tell us about a civil engineering project that you both have worked on together that had a geological component to it?
  • What advice can you give engineers considering pursuing a career in geological engineering?
