A consultant is a universal observer who can look at a problem outside the environment in which the problem came
to be, thereby creating a solution that was never possible before.

- "
Based upon my experience in this field and comparing Dr. Tarkoy's work with that of other experts in the same field, I highly
respect Dr. Tarkoy. I worked with Dr. Tarkoy for approximately 3 years. During that time period, Dr. Tarkoy
consistently demonstrated an extensive knowledge of the construction process, particularly microtunneling work, as well as a thorough
understanding of the claims and litigation process. I found him to be extremely responsive, motivated, and able to meet all deadlines and
requirements. From the outset and continuing until the matter was resolved,
he consistently provided a thorough objective assessment of the owner's and contractor's positions and the opinions that he expressed (and supported)
were based upon his assessment. His role and assistance were critical and ultimately proved to be essential to a successful resolution of the case.
For these reasons, I highly recommend Dr. Tarkoy." (Attorney

“I had hired Dr. Tarkoy as a tunnel
expert to help us in the development of an innovative underground project.
Peter provided a wealth of insight, experience, and energy to your efforts.
Peter also made introductions to vendors and other experts to extend our
understanding of our undertaking. Peter is an outstanding geologic and
tunnelling expert. He was adaptive, open-minded, and very constructive. We
found his business practice to be of the highest integrity and highly
reliable.” (

"Peter
is a highly intelligent fellow who sees clearly complex issues concerning
geology and the mechanics of tunneling. A sophisticated analyst and eventual
forensic expert who can bring the light on the difficulties and
contingencies of the tunneling business to achieve balanced and equitable
conclusions. One of a kind." (GT-Supplier)

we win or lose the case. The most important is to have known a man at
this time 'honest'. Thanks for all." (MTF-Contractor)

"I
have commissioned Peter Tarkoy on numerous occasions to write geotechnical
articles for World Tunnelling, a global publication sent to professionals in
over 80 countries worldwide. His writing is usually precise, concise and
authoritative, displaying the hallmarks of someone with many years'
experience and at the top of their profession. His work has been a great
bonus to the magazine and it is hoped we will be able to feature more of his
work." (GD-Editor)
"Peter
Tarkoy is probably the single most important part of any project potentially
or currently having problems in underground construction. The 20+ years I
have known Peter he has shown a keen insight for getting to the core issues
and presenting them in an un-refutable "forensic" style only
rivaled by Perry Mason. I give Dr. Tarkoy my highest recomendation." (TC-Supplier

"I have known
Peter Tarkoy for around 15 years , first he acted as an expert witness for
me and from there we developed a professional and personnel relationship. On
many occasions Peter has provided advice on tunneling issues relating to
claims. Peter has worked for both contractors and owners and at all times
maintains a high level of integrity and honesty in the work acting
professionally at all times. I have no hesitation in recommending Peter for
work in underground construction."

"Dr. Tarkoy,
Thank you once again for your invaluable assistance regarding the differing site condition on our dredging project. After receipt of your analysis, the owner's intransigence quickly gave way to a full and complete satisfaction of that aspect of our claim. Your inter-disciplinary expertise has the added benefit of reducing claim costs while still providing the same level of professionalism."

"....will do a lot
towards reducing the number of disputes, arising from differing site condition
claims. A thorough understanding by
both sides of Dr. Tarkoy's six commandments, while not necessarily effect the
number of differing site condition claims, will certainly result in better
understanding of the claims and promote expeditious and equitable settlement of
same." (PMS-Contractor)

impressed with his economical and incisive presentation, and with his 3-D
colored graphics which interpreted data at a glance and carried tremendous
visual impact." (HTY-Contractor)
"As the lead attorney for a municipality defending against multimillion
dollar differing site condition claims, I retained Dr. Tarkoy as an expert for consultation and testimonial purposes. The dispute involved a project
that entailed the installation of several miles of interceptor sewer at a depth of approximately 40 feet and for pipe sizes of 24" to 48" (ID). Dr.
Tarkoy was retained to provide consulting and litigation services including testimony and the preparation of an expert report."
