Benefits of In-House Collaboration of Geotechnical and Structural Engineering Services
Traditionally, separate geotechnical and structural engineering firms contribute to design and construction of building projects. This paper discusses the unique opportunity that Gibble Norden Champion Brown Consulting Engineers, Inc., (GNCB) a structural engineering firm in Connecticut, took when it combined expertise from both services into one firm. This innovative, in-house collaborative practice adds value to its menu of client services and demonstrates the benefits of incorporating professional and experienced geotechnical engineering into a project, from concept to completion. The geotechnical engineering staff enhanced its presence on the design team with direct participation in early design and construction decisions, where knowledge of subsurface soil conditions are used to benefit the important early stages of project planning. The benefits, illustrated by three case studies, have been far reaching and include enhanced contract drawings, expansion into new services, reduced company risk, greater structural engineer's awareness of geotechnical services, and increased recognition of geotechnical engineering as a significant factor in project success.
