News

In April of 2007 I offically retired from the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Alberta.

For the last year and a half I have been living and working in Southern California with Gregg Drilling & Testing, Inc. I act as a management and technical advisor for their CPT (Cone Penetration Testing) services.

We completed a number of one-day CPT seminars in April of 2007 in Concord, Sacramento and Huntington Beach, California. These intensive 8-hour courses are offered by Gregg each year and provide a good introduction to the principles and uses of CPT data for design and liquefaction analysis.

The dates for the 2009 CPT seminars are as follows:

Hyatt Hotel, Huntington Beach, CA: February 27, 2009

3rd Edition Guide to Cone Penetration Testing available

A 3rd edition of my popular Guide to Cone Penetration Testing is now available. This guide covers interpretation of the CPT for geotechnical applications.

Please e-mail me for a copy of the new Guide to CPT

2nd Edition GeoEnvironmental Guide available

I have recently revised the guide to GeoEnvironmental testing with the CPT. This guide is geared towards geologists and environmental scientists working on contaminated site investigations. This guide covers Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF, new generation ROST, UVOST system), the Membrane Interface Probe (MIP), and various samplers that can be deployed with CPT equipment.

Please e-mail me for a copy of the GeoEnvironmental guide.
