Burke
(ADSC), DFI, the United States Society on Dams (USSD), the
Association of State Dam Safety Officials, Association of
Environmental & Engineering Geologists and the International
Society for Micropiles (ISM). Bruce has received the Kapp,
Baker and Terzaghi Awards from ASCE. He was the ISM's 2009
Lizzi Lecturer and USSD's 2019 Legacy Lecturer. He has also coorganized
international conferences on Grouting and Deep
Mixing (1992, 2003, 2017 and 2022) and on Quality in
Construction (2005). He holds degrees in geology and
geotechnical engineering from Aberdeen University, Scotland.
George Burke, P.E., D.GE, worked for more than 30 years
for Hayward Baker, a Keller Company. He was the senior vice
president - engineering for 20 of those years, and previously
served as vice president of Hayward Baker Environmental,
manager of Hayward Baker's Jet Grouting Division and project
engineer for Special Projects. Burke is widely recognized for his
contributions toward the development, design and application
of jet grouting and mechanical soil mixing in North America.
He is a member of DFI and ASCE and was active on the ACSE
Grouting Committee when it developed the first Jet Grouting
Guidelines, as well as on DFI's Soil Mixing Committee. In 2009,
he was confirmed as a Diplomate of the Academy of GeoProfessionals,
followed by receiving the 2010 Wallace
Hayward Baker Award from the Geo-Institute of ASCE for the
development of jet grouting and soil mixing technologies. He
also received the 2017 Distinguished Service Award from DFI
for his contributions to the deep foundations industry.
Burke delivered a keynote presentation at the DFI-ICOG
2012 International Conference on Grouting and Deep Mixing,
and in 2013, he co-authored the Jet Grouting chapter of the
third edition of Ground Improvement, edited by Klaus Kirsch and
Alan Bell. Burke received bachelor's and master's degrees in
civil (geotechnical) engineering from Drexel University.
Raffaella Granata, M.Sc., has been with Trevi - Italy
since 2004 as technical advisor at the Design, Research &
Development Department. Before joining Trevi, she worked
for Rodio and was responsible for its geotechnical laboratory
where she studied the performance and behaviors of grout
mixes and developed new formulations and types of mixes.
Over the past 35 years, she has been involved with
construction, design and technical supervision for a number
of projects around the world, including tunnels, dams and
levees, and confinement of polluted areas.

Stille
Kettle
Granata is the co-chair of DFI's International Grouting
Committee, a member of the EFFC/DFI task groups on tremie
concrete and support fluids for deep foundations, as well as
the author or co-author of more than 50 technical papers.
Granata graduated from the University of Milan, Italy, with
geotechnical and hydrogeology specializations.
Håkan Stille, Ph.D., professor emeritus in soil and rock
mechanics at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in
Stockholm, has worked extensively in industry and academia.
He has also been involved in geotechnical engineering
work throughout the world for more than 40 years. Many of
these projects have involved rock tunnels and dams exposed
to the adverse effects of water flow and changes in water
pressure where rock grouting has been a challenge. During
the last 10 years, he has also been involved in revising the
Eurocode as an expert in rock engineering and risk
management.
Stille has supervised more than 30 Ph.D. students, of
whom 10 have studied rock grouting from different
perspectives. To date, this work has resulted in some 50
papers in peer-reviewed international journals. He has
written two international textbooks, Rock Engineering,
together with Arild Palmstrom, and Rock Grouting - Theories
and Applications.
Posthumously - Clif Kettle, B.Sc., FGS, had more than 45
years of grouting experience starting with Colcrete (U.K.) in
1975, and then Soletanche Bachy, where he became group
lead specialist for ground treatment. Based in the U.K., he
focused mainly on rock grouting for dams and compensation
grouting. Kettle worked in more than 30 countries
and was involved in major grouting works in soil and rocks,
tunnels, anchors and micropiles. He also had significant
experience with well drilling and monitoring, and
instrumentation.
Kettle was the 2018 recipient of the British Geotechnical
Association John Mitchell Award and was an active
participant in the Grouting Fundamentals Course in the U.S.
and grouting committees in North America.
He was also co-author of the publication Grouting for
reservoir dams - A guide to good practice, 2018 for the
Construction Industry Research and Information Association
in the U.K.
