BRANDEN PETERSEN, EIT
Project Engineer
Branden Petersen has been at LGC Geotechnical since 2018 after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. The first few years of Branden’s career were spent mostly in the field working as a technician, observing engineering construction activities, and directing geotechnical investigations. Over the last few years, Branden has become more involved in the design, analysis and report writing aspect associated with being a geotechnical engineer.
Branden grew up and currently lives in San Clemente with his wife Allison. In his free time, Branden enjoys any activity involving the outdoors and hanging out with his friends and family. A majority of his time is spent either surfing, hiking or camping, and snowboarding in the winter time.
Branden has assisted with and ran a multitude of geotechnical evaluations and construction projects with a diverse range including residential, commercial, industrial and public works. These projects have included analysis and design of liquefaction potential, slope stability, shallow and deep foundation systems, and retaining walls (conventional, MSE, tieback and nail).
