Site Investigation Tools of the Future: Advancing Geoprofessional Practice
The next GBA Knowledge Sharing Webinar is on July 31 at 2 p.m. ET. The GBA Knowledge Sharing Webinar events are a series of free online learning opportunities for GBA members that directly connect them with our industry partners who are creating impactful technology to elevate the geoprofessions.
This webinar will explore innovative advancements in site investigation technologies that are set to propel the geoprofessional industry into the future. ConeTec Geotechnical Research Engineer Joseph Bindner, Ph.D., P.E. and Director of Business Development Kelly Cabal will introduce three cutting-edge tools: the Thermal Probe, the Vision Cone, and Magnetic Resonance technology.
Participants will also hear about the industry shift towards cleaner energy and robotics in site investigation practices. These technologies aim to enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and sustainability of site investigations.
Join GBA and ConeTec on July 31 to learn how these advancements can address current challenges and drive the industry forward, while also discussing the broader trends towards hybrid and automated equipment for a cleaner and safer future.
