Construction Managers,Project Managers and all A-GaMERs!
 Join us for more virtual A-GaME Summer Super Sessions starting with "Underground Control"
Register Now! for “Underground Control” on July 20, 11 am Eastern.
We have several more virtual A-GaME Summer Super Sessions lined-up for 2022, specifically focused on improving geotechnical site characterization practices for construction decisions and constructability. Save the dates and forward to your peers, partners and construction and project managers! These sessions are free.
We hit a home run with our first A-GaME Super Session, “Step Into the Contractor’s Boots” on June 20 — thanks to those who participated and attended. This session was recorded, and we’ll send out information on how to access that recording in the future.
Here’s the remaining line-up:
Part I – 11:00 am-1:00 pm
Introduction to Session 2 and Update on the A-GaME
Presentations by geotechnical exploration practitioners on A-GaME solutions available today to address common geotechnical challenges for your next project.
Guest Speakers:
Rob Garfield, Hager-Richter Geoscience
Phil Sirles, Collier Geophysics
Mike Rodgers, University of Florida
Kevin McLain, University of Missouri Science and Technology
Question and Answer with the Speakers
Part II – 2:00 pm-4:00 pm
Presentations and discussion on case histories illustrating applied A-GaME methods, successfully overcoming geotechnical uncertainties and reducing risk on real-world projects.
Special Guest Speaker:
Jim Cuthbertson and Andrew Fiske, Washington State DOT
Additional Speaker:
Benjamin Rivers, FHWA
Panel Discussion:
Facilitated Interactive Discussion with Live Participant Input (via Chat). We will review the case histories and discuss the implemented solutions and other potential solutions.
Bring your A-GaME!
August 17 – Session 3: Bridge the Gap - Communicating Subsurface Conditions for Construction. Geotechnical subsurface investigations are not just about design parameters. Geotechnical site characterization must also inform constructability decisions and provide contractors with the information needed to get the job done efficiently and effectively. Explore ways to improve our investigation processes, to effectively communicate site conditions to all stakeholders, and to establish a collective understanding of anticipated conditions and contingencies for bidding and construction decisions. Registration link will be provided in a future Bulletin.
August 24 – Special Owner’s Only Forum: Making it Happen: Improving Site Characterization for Constructability and Construction Decisions. Intended for DOT Construction and Project Managers, Geotechnical Engineers and other owner representatives, this session will include large and small group discussions, and intra-agency collaboration to improve internal site characterization processes and procedures. Information about this session will be sent at a later date.
