Core credentials, current engagement status, and the primary services offered by Peter Geelan for infrastructure and structural consulting work.
Two decades of experience in reinforced concrete and steel design for residential, commercial, and public infrastructure projects across India.
End-to-end coordination of civil works, from feasibility studies and budgeting to site supervision and handover documentation.
Independent audits, compliance reviews, and risk assessments for developers and contractors navigating local building codes.
Site layout, utility coordination, and phased construction strategies for urban development and industrial facilities.
Material selection, waste reduction, and energy-efficient detailing that lower lifecycle costs without compromising structural integrity.
Guidance on zoning approvals, environmental clearances, and structural safety certifications for projects in Gujarat and beyond.
Conducted a two-day site inspection of the raft foundation pour for a 14-story residential tower. Verified rebar spacing against the approved structural drawings and flagged two columns where cover was below the 40 mm specification. The contractor corrected both before the next pour.
Reviewed the retrofit proposal for a 1980s school block in Gandhinagar. The original structure lacked ductile detailing. Recommended adding steel bracing at the stairwell cores and upgrading the roof diaphragm connections. The revised design was submitted to the local authority for approval.
Assessed the geotechnical report for a 2,400 sq m warehouse extension near Ahmedabad. The bearing capacity at 1.5 m depth was lower than assumed in the preliminary design. Adjusted the foundation scheme to a combined footing layout and reissued the structural drawings.
Performed a leakage audit at a commercial complex parking level. Identified three failure points in the membrane system at expansion joints. Prepared a repair specification using crystalline waterproofing slurry and coordinated the remedial works schedule with the facility manager.
Provided technical support for the approach embankment of a new bridge over the Sabarmati. Reviewed the settlement calculations and revised the surcharge loading period from 60 to 90 days to achieve the required post-construction settlement limit.
Direct line for contractors and developers needing clarification on structural drawings, load calculations, or site inspection reports. Reach the engineering office by phone at 084 27119265 or by email at info@petergeelan.com. Queries received before 16:00 IST are typically answered within one working day.
Standard technical queries receive a first response within 24 hours. Complex audits involving multiple site visits or document reviews are scoped with a clear timeline before work begins. For urgent structural concerns during active construction, mention the project reference number in the subject line so the duty engineer can prioritise the request.
