This book helps engineers understand the non-technical aspects of geotechnical engineering to minimize risk and liability. It discusses the implications of errors and omissions, applicable law, and other elements related to claims and disputes.

Subsurface projects can spell tremendous liability and risk concerns for geotechnical engineers, who pay among the highest liability insurance rates among A/E/C professionals. Written for a non-legal audience by a recognized liability authority, this helpful book brings together the information and expertise needed to manage the non-technical aspects of such projects. Discusses the implications of errors and omissions, applicable law, bid and contract document disclosure, and much more. Filled with relevant case studies.
