2nd Annual School

Utility Investigation School
Scheduled at TTC
Geophysics for Subsurface Utility Engineering
Professionals Short Course Offered
The Trenchless Technology
Center (TTC) at Louisiana Tech
University, in conjunction with
the ASCE'S Utility Engineering
and Surveying Institute (UESI),
have teamed up to hold the
second TTC/UEIS School from
Feb. 26 to March 2.
This short course will give
practitioners the knowledge
and tools to provide competent
utility investigations in accordance with accepted national standards (ASCE 38-02),
and to defend against claims through this knowledge and its documentation. In
addition to the classroom lectures, practical sessions offer participants hands-on
experience with ground penetrating radar (GPR) and other methods. This five-day
school will be taught by the foremost experts in the geophysics and subsurface
utility engineering field.
This school has been designed for:
* Engineers and surveyors, and project managers providing deliverables that
include results and depictions of utility investigations
* Consulting engineers, employees of utility companies, state
DOTs and local highway agencies, regulatory agencies, local governments
The use of GPR for utility locating will be covered, as well as GPR theory and
factors affecting GPR penetration. A major component of this course is field
experience. Students will learn to setup the equipment and proper surveying
techniques (line scan and grid scan), including the use of GPS. Data will be downloaded and reviewed in the software, along with various data outputs and reports.
Case studies and data interpretation will also be taught.
The course director is Tom Iseley, Ph.D., P.E. of the TTC. The primary instructor is Jim Anspach, Cardno Inc., Utility Engineering Practice Leader. He is also
the current president of the UESI board of governors. Sponsoring organizations
include UESI, NUCA, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and media sponsor
Underground Construction.
At the end of this short course, students will receive four CEUs or 40 PDHs and
a certificate of completion.
The course will take place on the campus of Louisiana Tech University in
Ruston, LA. Registration is $1,595, with a 10-percent discount for three or more
