Prof. Dr. Alexander Bykovtsev

Principal Engineer responsible for managing over fifteen complex project including contract administration, budget tracking staff allocation and technical review of reports, field data and laboratory analysis. Some of these projects included ground motion analysis, seismic investigations, seismic design for railroad bridge structure, high rise buildings and essential service facilities within 5 kilometers of fault zones.

Our facilities provide a full complement of geotechnical engineering services. The firm maintains in-house laboratory-testing facilities fully equipped to perform tests required to evaluate most geotechnical engineering problems. The firm also maintains in-house drilling capabilities.

As a Project Manager, responsible for independently evaluating and determining appropriate geotechnical engineering techniques to support foundation designs, address seismic design challenges and provide subgrade ecommendations for a variety of projects. Additional duties included developing budgets, manage costs and provide technical review of field investigations, inspections and laboratory testing results.

Senior Project Engineer responsible for independently evaluating, selecting and applying appropriate standard engineering techniques, procedures and criteria for a variety of projects. As the Senior Engineer, using judgment in making adaptations and modifications for conventional types of geotechnical investigations and surveys were typical duties.
