Presentation: "Engineering Ethics in a Low Bid Environment – Can they coexist?"
Victor R. Donald, P.E., MASCE
We will review the results of a large participant survey conducted by the Deep Foundations Institute that addresses the role of the Geotechnical Engineer. Using this as a backdrop, we will consider the ethical responsibilities of engineers and how to use our ethical responsibilities to combat the selection of engineers based upon price comparison.
The presentation will be provided by Mr. Vic Donald, P.E. Vic brings over 35 years of experience as a practicing geotechnical engineer. Vic is the National Director of the Geotechnical Service Line for Terracon Consultants, a GBA member firm. The presentation is a GBA presentation in cooperation with a working agreement with the GeoInstitiute.
