partnering once again with ASCE's Utility
Engineering and Surveying Institute (UESI)
and the National Utility Contractors
Association (NUCA) to off er a fi ve-day
Utility Investigation School (UIS). Th is
specialty school was recently taught by
the foremost experts in the geophysics
and subsurface utility engineering (SUE)
fi elds for the fi fth time on Louisiana Tech's
campus in late May. Th e course covered
geophysics, utility systems construction
and confi guration, ASCE 38-02, risk-based
presentations, and professional liability
issues. Th e instruction for this school was
led by Jim Anspach and Dr. Tom Iseley. Th e
program included an industry day where
technology providers were able to show
and demonstrate their tools.
Th e TTC team is committed to increasing
awareness and expanding knowledge of
SUE on a global basis and has also started
to provide UIS schools at other locations.

facility was completed in early 2021 despite
the challenging environment of 2020 and
the pandemic. Once completed, it was
immediately used as part of the aforementioned
UIS School in May and is planned
to be used thoroughly for the upcoming
fourth Auger Boring School in October.
ABS helps to meet the high demand for
engineers and contractors needing training
in auger boring design, application and
installation. Th e school includes classroom
lectures and practical sessions.
BERT is also available for other training
programs and for international equipment
and material manufacturers and technology
providers for research, development
and validation. Th e facility is the industry's
resource to provide dedicated programs for
workforce and professional development.

At Elgin, we develop turn-key solutions
that solve real problems. Whether it is
a packaged mud reclaimer or a custom
designed solution, we create tangible value.
