Geo-engineering

ing. Raoul Broekens

Geobest

“In geotechnical engineering, everything revolves around gaining insight into opportunities and risks. With a little feel for soil behavior, many geotechnical challenges can be kept well under control. In my courses, I strive to awaken that feel for soil. For instance, I like to offer my students the opportunity to recognize expected soil behavior in a timely manner, so that the right actions can be taken accordingly.”
