- Managed daily evaluations of instrumentation data and disseminated information to the excavation contractors. In two distinct cases alerted construction crews to the increasing deformation rates, the situation remedied in one case in applying additional coats of shotcrete, and in another, by completing grouting behind liner plates to stabilize the shaft collar. Attention to results of measurements triggered immediate action and was essential in avoiding potential claim.
- Designed ground support for tunnel and shafts and performed frequent field inspection and field mapping to verify that the ground support worked as planned and distributed information to all parties involved.
- Supervised field tests of rock reinforcement in shafts and tunnels (rockbolt pullout tests) to verify design input.
- Trained young engineers in the use of design software and procedures for calibrations of numerical models to assure that the field data are used to verify and to improve the design.
