The Trenchless Technology Center (TTC) at Louisiana Tech University (LA Tech) is pleased inform you that we are partnering with the ASCE UESI (Utility Engineering and Surveying Institute) and the National Utility Contractors Association (NUCA) to offer the 2nd UIS. This 5-day TTC Specialty School will focus on the ASCE 38-02 Standard Guideline for the location and depiction of underground utilities.
In addition to the classroom lectures, practical sessions will be held where participants will be offered hands-on experience with the GPR, PCL, and etc. This 5-day school from Feb 26, 2018 until March 02, 2018 will be taught by the foremost experts in the geophysics and subsurface utility engineering field. The 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, etc.
At the end of this short course, students will receive 4 CEUs – 40 PDHs and a Certificate of Completion. This course is specifically designed for professionals by international leaders in subsurface utility engineering (SUE). They will teach you how to identify and manage the risk associated with all aspects related to underground utilities.
