Read Responsibility Provisions Closely <br />Clients, design professionals, and constructors who do <br />not recognize that geotechnical engineering is far less <br />exact than other engineering disciplines can develop <br />unrealistic expectations. Unrealistic expectations can <br />lead to disappointments, claims, and disputes. To help <br />reduce the risk of such outcomes, geotechnical engineers <br />commonly include a variety of explanatory provisions in <br />their proposals. Sometimes labeled “limitations,” many of <br />these provisions indicate where geotechnical engineers’ <br />responsibilities begin and end, to help others recognize <br />their own responsibilities and risks, thus to encourage <br />more effective scopes of service. Read this proposal’s <br />provisions closely. Ask questions. Your geotechnical <br />engineer should respond fully and frankly. <br />Rely on Your Geotechnical Engineer <br />for Additional Assistance <br />Membership in the Geoprofessional Business Association <br />(GBA) exposes geotechnical engineers to a wide array of risk <br />management techniques that can be of genuine benefit to <br />everyone involved with a construction project.
