Independent verification of structural drawings, material specifications, and site execution for residential and commercial projects across Gujarat.

Core credentials and current status for Peter Geelan, consulting engineer based in Gandhinagar. This section summarizes the key facts a prospective client or collaborator needs before reviewing the full portfolio.
Registered with the Institution of Engineers (India) since 2004. Licensed to certify structural designs and supervise construction quality across Gujarat and neighboring states.
Two decades of hands-on work spanning residential towers, industrial sheds, and municipal infrastructure. Site supervision remains a core part of every engagement, not just desk-based design.
Currently accepting new audit and advisory assignments for the 2025-26 cycle. Typical lead time for an initial site assessment is two to three weeks from first contact.
Focused practice in strengthening existing structures against earthquake loads, with particular attention to older masonry buildings in seismic Zone III and IV areas.
Active committee participation on highway drainage standards. This membership keeps current project advice aligned with the latest national road infrastructure guidelines.
How project documentation, site access logs, and client communications are kept confidential and tamper-proof across every engagement.
Only the assigned engineer and the client's authorized representative receive credentials for the shared document vault. Each access attempt is logged with a timestamp and IP address.
Data EncryptionAll CAD files, load calculations, and site reports are transferred over TLS 1.3 and stored with AES-256 encryption at rest. We rotate encryption keys every 90 days.
Incident ResponseIf a data incident occurs, the client is notified within 24 hours. We provide a written summary of affected records, corrective actions, and steps to prevent recurrence.
Physical SecurityPrinted structural notes and marked-up drawings are stored in a locked cabinet at the Gandhinagar office. Disposal of sensitive paper records is done via cross-cut shredding only.
Audit TrailEvery change to a project file is recorded with the editor's name, date, and a short comment. Clients can request a complete revision history at any point during the project.
Subcontractor VettingAny external consultant, surveyor, or testing lab involved in a project must sign a non-disclosure agreement before receiving site data or structural models.

Request security detailsStraight answers on project timelines, site audits, and how I collaborate with developers and contractors across India.
I start with the architectural drawings and the geotechnical report, then check the framing system, load paths, and member sizes against the relevant Indian codes. The review ends with a written summary of risks, missing details, and recommended revisions before you go to tender.
Ideally before the architect finalises the floor plan. That way we can align column grids and beam depths with the layout, which avoids costly changes later. If the design is already complete, I can still do a value-engineering pass to reduce steel and concrete quantities.
Yes. I work on sites across Gujarat and neighbouring states, and I regularly coordinate with local surveyors and contractors remotely. For site visits, I schedule them around key milestones like foundation concreting or slab casting.
Send me the site plan, soil test report if available, and a rough sketch of the proposed structure. With those three documents I can give you a realistic assessment of the structural approach and the level of detailing required.
Yes. I do condition assessments and structural audits for older buildings. The process involves visual inspection, crack mapping, and sometimes load testing. You receive a clear report on the cause and a phased repair strategy, not just a generic recommendation.
For a standard mid-rise residential building, expect the first draft within three to four weeks after receiving the finalised architectural plans. Revisions are faster, usually within a week, depending on the complexity of the changes.
