As the leading geohazard mitigation firm operating throughout the United States and Canada, we participate in most of the industry’s conferences and expositions. Whether it’s presenting innovative remediation techniques or showcasing mitigation case studies to our industry colleagues, GeoStabilization’s goal is to further the education of our industry and protect the travelling public and infrastructure from the dangers of geohazards. Here is a link to a few of the conferences we are planning to attend.
Additionally, GeoStabilization organizes and delivers workshops for the geotechnical and geohazard mitigation industry. These workshops are developed for entry-level to experienced geotechnical engineers, civil engineers, and engineering geologists that commonly deal with geohazards, as well as public and private agency personnel that work with geohazard mitigation designers in a supervisory capacity. Here is a link to past and future workshops. PDH Certificates are issued for the number of hours attended.
Sergei Terzaghi has over 30 years of experience encompassing the full breadth of geotechnical engineering largely in the Pacific Basin. As part of that experience, Sergei has spent a lot of time remediating slopes of all descriptions using a range of techniques. To determine the most cost-effective approach, he has had to go to first principles on many slopes and build the understanding of the failure mechanisms, largely because the conventional theories ascribed to the failure often did not explain what was going on and lead to uneconomical solutions.
Many of the solutions were in a time and cost constrained environment working in a design build or similar environment, yet requiring a sufficiently robust design and documentation.
