Andrei Cotiga
Geotechnical Engineer
As a Senior Geotechnical Engineer, Andrei specialises in soil mechanics, if it's made from, supports or is supported by dirt he can help. It was Andrei's fascination with the interaction between structures and soil that drew him to Geotechnical engineering. While structures are generally controllable processes, soil is more unpredictable where you never know what you're going to get. The uncertain nature of soil keeps Andrei's work stressful but exciting.
The dynamic work environment at Eliot Sinclair gives Andrei the ability to collaborate with a diverse range of other experts, integrating survey, civil engineering and structural engineering in a cohesive design package to suit our clients.
