This is where my ‘geo’ career began. This is Greenwich Maritime Museum where I took my kids this weekend. I haven’t been here since ~1995, 28 years ago, but I remember it as if it were yesterday. The glass roof didn’t exist. It was a scorching hot day and I was scurrying around the walk-in gutters, specifically above where it says ‘West Wing’, carrying around GPR equipment. It was awesome. Believe it or not, this was my school work experience placement (I was only a few years older than my daughter is now!) Rather than take the obvious option and work in a shop for a week, I took a placement at a local geotechnics firm and got a day out on site to Greenwich where the company were carrying out non-destructive testing on the walls to ensure they could hold the load of the proposed glass roof. Despite playing an insignificant role in that project (I definitely would have been more hindrance than help!) that one day gives me a sense of connection to this building and most likely was a seed for my whole ‘geo’ career to this day. I get the same feeling now when I see news articles of windfarms RockWave have worked on progressing to next stage of development. We’re a very small part of a massive process in developing these huge infrastructure projects, but I always feel a sense of pride when I see such news articles and send them around the whole team with the message ‘we helped do that’. The race is on for our first windfarm to start generating power. That will be an exciting day. Messages here: 1.      Inspire the next generation by giving them opportunities early on – who knows where I would be had I spent that week stacking supermarket shelves (I did enough of that later on anyway!). The world needs geoscience – our industry has a bright future; the kids just need to know it. 2.      Windfarm developers – keep the news flow coming. There are thousands of people in your wider supply chains who get enormous satisfaction out of seeing your projects come to fruition! #futureofgeoscience #offshorewind #geoscience #seismic

It's great to get feedback like this from people who understand the real benefits that intelligent compaction can offer the user, such as: - Offers real time analysis of the project for both the operator via an in-cab display and office staff via the cloud-based software for easy access anywhere and anytime - Increased efficiency, helping with project sustainability - Aids with quality and offers detailed reporting to your project - Shows pass count - both static and dynamic - Helps determine soft spots for timely inspection and further analysis - Helps eliminate over compaction or under compacting and costly reworks Just to name a few...

Peorian Loess is a wind-blown silt that was deposited 14,000 years ago in the eastern Nebraska and western Iowa region. This material mantles the area, can have low dry densities, and is known to pose a risk of collapse when it gets wet. On this recent #Terracon geotechnical project I happened to be onsite with our exploration crew. As shown in the video, this soil was so dry it heated up the augers to the point they were too hot to touch with your bare hands. Dry densities as low as 77pcf and moisture contents below 9% were measured on the samples. Geotechnical Engineering, it's not something we also do, it's what we do every single day at Terracon.
