"Geological engineers identify and try to solve problems involving soil, rock and groundwater, and design structures in and below the ground, using the principles of earth science.Their tasks may include:
In your community: Geological engineers have a deep understanding of the land and the way it changes. If your community lies in an area which is prone to earthquakes, landslides or flooding, a geological engineer can help the community prepare for and survive these events"(TYPES OF ENGINEERING).
- Planning and executing site investigations for proposed major engineering works such as bridges, dams and tunnels
- Designing major structures in rock such as tunnels, basements and shafts
- Devising strategies to control landslides in areas of potential instabilities for highways, bridges and tunnels
