The engineer's suspension ends this December because it is backdated to when he was first ordered to pause his work as a professional engineer in the province.

Pictured is the Dyck Memorial Bridge over the Swan River in the RM of Clayton after it collapsed on Sept. 14, 2018.

Gullacher was responsible for the Dyck Memorial Bridge in the RM of Clayton, about 300 kilometres east of Saskatoon. It opened and collapsed on Sept. 14, 2018.The engineer was found guilty on three counts of professional misconduct earlier this year by a discipline committee panel for the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan

The association determined that Gullacher didn't operate in a "careful and diligent manner" on the Dyck Memorial Bridge, because he did not employ a site-specific geotechnical analysis and did not provide adequate engineering designs for the helical pile foundations.The engineer was also reprimanded for his work on five other bridges located in the Sask. rural municipalities of Scott, Caledonia, Mervin and Perdue.

This resulted in "five superstructure designs which were inadequate to carry the minimum loads required by the code.", Gullacher is currently living and working out of the province. However, it says he has expressed a desire to return to Saskatchewan and resume working as an engineer. That could happen by December 2023.
