Geoff Aleva joined CIVIL CONSULTANTS in January 1996 upon completion of his Master's Degree in Civil Engineering under a full tuition scholarship.   

As a Senior Staff Engineer at CIVIL CONSULTANTS, Geoff has worked on a variety of structural and civil engineering projects. Responsibilities involve all realms of design and analysis using concrete masonry, steel and timber frames ranging from residential homes to complex commercial structures.  Recent projects include the redesign of Goodall Park , Sanford , ME , emphasizing concrete masonry and steel design.

Sample bridge projects were containment design for steel structure repainting the Queensboro Bridge in New York and locally for the Route 95 Piscataqua River Bridge spanning Maine and New Hampshire .  Structural analysis of the as-built bridges were completed using the latest computer programs to verify that the anticipated containments would not adversely affect either bridge’s performance. 

Geoff has completed several evaluations of historic timber framed structures to assess condition and load capacity.  He has also completed numerous forensic studies to determine causes of structural problems.   In addition, Geoff prepares site plans and drainage and erosion control plans for commercial and industrial projects for the firm.  He performs this work using a variety of computer software packages to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of products delivered to the client.

Geoff’s previous positions are varied and include projects such as asbestos abatement inspections and air quality measurement.  He also designed and conducted experiments to test the flexure, deflection, and shear capabilities of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) reinforced bridge slabs.   

Geoff has also worked as a teaching assistant in structural analysis, fluid mechanics, mechanics of materials, and computer applications for civil engineering at the University of New Hampshire .
