我们最近遇到了一名高级工程师，明尼苏达办事处的高级工程师，讨论了他在深层基础上的专业知识以及对他成为员工所有者意味着什么。
告诉我们一些关于你的背景。
I started as a co-op in 2007 working out of Bloomington doing concrete and soils testing. Once I got hired on full-time, I headed to our Milwaukee office. I was mainly doing special inspections work with Walmart.
After a few years, I moved to the St. Paul, MN office and became a project manager and started working on the雷竞技的电竞比分网事物的一面。
过去六年，我一直专注于深度基础。现在我回到了布卢明顿办公室，我开始在深层基础和岩土设计中使用Matt Glisson，这只是比我以前的工作更加技术的技术路线。雷竞技的电竞比分网
What can you tell us about your expertise indeep foundations?
在本地，我们在驱动桩测试中非常沉重。我具有广泛的桩驾驶分析仪（PDA）测试和静态负载测试知识。我运行无数的PDA，优化桩设计，并在建设前进行大量前置工作。我做了岩土报道，横雷竞技的电竞比分网向分析，整个从动桩域。我还拥有钻井轴，螺旋座铸造桩，微厚度和螺旋桩的分析和设计经验，以及所有这些基础类型的施工测试。
你最喜欢的项目是什么？
My favorite projects have been investigations of existing foundations. You never know where it’s going to go. Every project is unique! What’s supposed to be there is sometimes not there, so we get that figured out. It requires a lot of communication and relaying information. I’ve enjoyed deep foundations as a whole – the projects are always big. Whether its light rails or big buildings downtown, not much of the work is cookie cutter.
作为有这么多知识的人分享，您如何在工作中接近队友的指导？
I go meet the technicians and find out what’s unique about the job. Essentially, we train starting from zero on every job because of this. I’ll print all the forms and background documents, explain what is going into the specific jobsite, run through geology we’ll encounter, then work with them on logging correctly. Every job has its own quirk, they’re never the same. There’s always some level of mentoring involved.
安全系数如何进入您的日常工作？
Safety is the first thing that I think of every day. With deep foundation projects, there are more opportunities for unsafe circumstances. We deal with cranes, tight areas, and just have other factors that could be potentially dangerous. We really need to know our surroundings, so safety is top of mind.
What does it mean to you to be an employee-owner?
Being an employee-owner gives you a level of pride in your work. You’re always considering the greater good. If the company is succeeding, you’re succeeding. We all encourage each other to do good work and keep our client relationships a priority.
