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.

ANNOUNCING: 2008 CPT Seminar Dates!

The dates for the 2008 CPT seminars are as follows:

Huntington Beach, CA: March 7th, 2008

New GeoEnvironmental Guide available!

I have recently put together a guide to GeoEnvironmental testing with the CPT 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.
