He is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Utility Engineering and Surveying Institute Utility Risk Management Division: Utility Investigation Committee and Chaired the National Utility Locating Contractors Association GPR training standards committee as well as other professional affiliations. He also introduced slope stability synthetic aperture radar systems for the mining industry for a South African based technology company to North America. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Geology as well as Master of Science in Geology/Geophysics.
It was not many years ago the first ads ran on television broadcasts for persons donning headsets for gaming and other activities. For some of us of a certain stature (euphemism for a bit older than many), it reminds us of how futuristic the “Jetsons” and other entertainment from our youth really were. It is …
Advances in GPR Array Data Processing a Boost to AR Read More »
Advances in array tech data collection and software processing are mainstreaming the platform for use by a diverse range of professionals such as geomatics/geospatial surveyors, engineers, and geoscientists as the technology provides a comprehensive “view” of the underground. In fact, coming soon is ASCE 38-21 which is the longanticipated update to 38-02. The title for …
Utilities are not the Only Conflict Lurking Underground! Read More »
The fundamental core of the SUE profession is a complete understanding of the principle of uncertainty. The SUE professional whether a licensed Professional Engineer or Professional Licensed Surveyor, or other qualifying professional must understand this principle. These professionals operate under the relevant statutes in their respective state and sign off on the SUE deliverable having …
Taking the Uncertainty Out of 3D GPR Array Integration in SUE Read More »
IT IS PROVEN that on large infrastructure projects utilities are almost always at or near the top of the list in terms of cost overruns and delays to project schedules. It is well documented that the SUE process conducted in adherence of ASCE 38-02 prevents cost overruns and many articles and reports are available supporting this …
