Call for Abstracts: GBA 2021 Spring Conference

If you are a dynamic, engaging speaker with valuable content to share with industry leaders, the  Geoprofessional Business Association invites you to submit an abstract for GBA’s 2020 Spring Conference. Our members gather at GBA conferences to network, share best practices, learn how to improve their business performance and elevate the industry.

Conference Theme:

Successfully Navigating Emerging Risks

Emerging risks result from events occurring suddenly and are often characterized by uncertainty in terms of probability, expected loss, and potential impact. Over time, these risks develop and evolve requiring review and proactive actions to be taken in order to manage and mitigate the impact to the business.

This is a great honor for me to be on the Board of Directors for the Geoprofessional Business Association and share my background and why GBA is so important to me.

I was born and raised in Quebec City, Province of Quebec, Canada. The history of Quebec City extends back thousands of years, with its first inhabitants being the First Nations peoples of the region. The arrival of French explorers in the 16th century eventually led to the establishment of Quebec City, in present-day Quebec, Canada. The city is one of the oldest European settlements in North America, with the establishment of a permanent trading post in 1608. Today, Quebec City is a beautiful place located by the St-Lawrence River with a European architecture and lifestyle. If you want to experience Europe, French language, and great cuisine, without a long flight overseas, please consider visiting Quebec City!

As I reflect on my professional career, I think of an exciting list of opportunities to learn and grow. I studied geological engineering and received my master’s
degree in geotechnical engineering at Laval University in 1990, in my hometown. After I graduated, I worked 23 years for Dessau, which grew from 400 employees in 1990 to 5,000 in 2012. While at Dessau, I worked in five very different, positions and earned great experience without changing companies. Dessau was a great firm that gave me an opportunity to grow professionally. After starting as a young geotechnical engineer between 1990 and 1994, I was nominated to be the manager of the geotechnical department at 29 and became the youngest shareholder of the company. Over the years I took on positions a manager of the Geotechnical and Environment division , Vice-President of Environment ,  Vice President in for the Algeria division and the Ontario division. In 2012, I joined AMEC (now WOOD) to manage the Geotechnical Engineering team in Montreal and learned about the mining business while starting an infrastructure group. Three years later, I was selected to lead a 600-employee division at SNC-Lavalin that included geotechnical engineering, materials engineering and testing and environment. I recently joined Kiewit in to lead their geoprofessional growth goals in Canada.

Overall, my 30-year career has been one of opportunity and growth. Thus, I managed projects and people, instituted cultural change, led acquisitions and integrations, and participated in numerous strategic planning workshops driving operational change and enhancing business development.

I have been married since 1993 ; my wife and I  are parents of three great young adults who have many different interests, but they all have one thing in common. Each of our children want a healthier and more sustainable planet and we are proud that each is taking steps to make a difference.

            Personally, I enjoy many hobbies and activities including jogging (about 40km a week), biking, fishing, skiing, hunting, cooking, and playing hockey. In fact, I only stopped playing  competitive hockey a year ago recognizing the healing process from falls and collisions was taking longer and longer.

I am not a natural leader. Like any others, I have had to work very hard to be an effective leader by learning from my mistakes, observing other leaders. I like to ask people what they think and why. I rarely think I have the answer to all and I don’t think there is one answer to all things. I embrace diversity and differences, and I think this helped me in my life and my career.

I joined GBA four years ago to meet and exchange ideas with industry leaders about our common challenges. I appreciate how GBA members are open and transparent about sharing lessons learned, business mistakes and successes, and collaborating on ways we can all elevate the geoprofessional business. Today I can say that, because of GBA, I became a better leader and implemented new initiatives that helped me to be more successful. Being able to meet peers and talk about our common issues in a very open-minded way is priceless and this is one of the many great advantages offered by GBA.

MEMBER FIRM ENGAGMENT AWARDS

For the past 4 years, GBA has been tracking the engagement of member-firms through 5 measurements that we found to be most important indicators of the value members were receiving from membership. Ultimately, engagement also indicates the value of membership to your employees which we feel is paramount to delivering our mission.
Last year, for the first time, we presented awards to those firms who have the highest measured engagement in GBA during our fiscal year. We are proud to be able to recognize winners again this year. There are four award winners, one from each category based on firm size for Fiscal Year 2019-2020.

They are:
                                                                                                    Blackburn Consulting

Case History # 101 Updated

Case History #101, the last of the archived real-life stories of member-firms’ projects that went wrong and how they overcame problems
is now available.

When a GBA-Member Firm realized it had committed a serious error while conducting construction-materials engineering and testing (CoMET) services for a new hospital building, it knew it was in trouble. The project – a 738,000-square-foot hospital – was the key element of a high-profile, $800-million project and the constructor-in-charge faced significant penalties if it failed to complete its work by the targeted date. The errors made by the CoMET firm were likely to cause a significant delay that would result in major penalty payments, plus a serious cost overrun, all of which the GBA-member CoMET firm feared it would have to pay for. Applying what it had learned from GBA, however, the firm not only avoided even a moment’s delay, it emerged from the project with an even stronger reputation for excellence.

    Learn from others. Don’t repeat the mistakes of the past! GBA Case Histories are being used              by  our members for loss prevention discussions in support of professional development and                      mentoring. That is why GBA case histories are so valuable, and why GBA is updating them all,                    while adding new ones, too.

GBA Case Histories are FREE to all Members.

Case History Library Refresh Complete!

Possibly the most important of all GBA loss-prevention/risk-confrontation resources is its unique series of Case Histories. In February 2018, GBA volunteers embarked on a seemingly impossible challenge to refresh the first 101 Case Histories. We are thrilled to report, the mission has been accomplished and now all are rebranded, updated, and refreshed. Most
importantly they are all available to all our members.

This effort was made possible under the leadership of Woodward L. “Woody” Vogt, P.E., D.GE, F.ASCE, F.ACI, F.ASTM, F.GBA (Paradigm Consultants) who established the schedule and led the review process. Woody was assisted on each update by Kurt R. Fraese, L.G., F.GBA (Fraese and Associates) and Dr. James L. “Jim” Withiam, Ph.D., P.E., D.GE, F.GBA (retired) with additional volunteer support from Stephanie Cook, Esq., Marie Starich, P.E. and GBA Committee members. Additionally, we received valuable contract support from Bachner Communications, Inc. (editing) and Greg Kauffman Designs (graphics).

“I would like to thank everyone that helped support the Case History Update effort. For more than 2½ years we have been chipping away at this task and it took a team effort to accomplish it. I would especially like to thank volunteers Kurt and Jim for their heavy lifting. Their input and support of the GBA Staff was critical to keep this project moving toward the finish line.” said Mr. Vogt.

GBA Case Histories are obviously important to our members too. Since we started this project, our members downloaded on average more than 11 issues per business day, totaling about 7,700 downloads.

Given the importance of GBA’s case histories, this was a valuable project to help our members improve their businesses  through real-life examples. This mission is complete, but we are not done! While we continue completing new Case Histories,  we are also completing a comprehensive Case History index and new programs that emphasize the important information   compiled from the library of all these valuable references.

5 MORE CASE HISTORIES REFRESHED

GBA Publications Committee

 

Learn from others. Don’t repeat the mistakes  of the past! GBA Case Histories are being used by our members for loss prevention discussions in support of professional development and mentoring. That is why GBA case histories are so valuable, and why GBA is updating them all, while adding new ones, too. Five more Case Histories have been re-issued.

GBA CASE HISTORY # 96 (download):
A Member Firm made the mistake of agreeing to work for both the owner (a school board) and its retained architect. Complicating matters, the architect refused to sign the Member Firm’s contract and the Member Firm refused to sign the architect’s. Ultimately, $1.7M changed hands.

GBA CASE HISTORY # 97 (download):
A construction-management company retained the GBA-Member Firm to perform a geotechnical engineering study for a simple structure that involved somewhat complex subsurface issues. The Member Firm later submitted a proposal to observe construction, but the client instead asked the Member Firm to sign a purchase order that included several troublesome conditions.

GBA CASE HISTORY # 98 (download):
The GBA-Member Firm signed an owner-drafted contract, agreeing to provide construction materials engineering and testing (CoMET) services “as needed,” a phrase neither party defined. Because of significant grade changes, the project required construction of three retaining walls. The member firm provided relatively few CoMET services on one of these walls, because the Member Firm’s senior field representative believed the wall was far less important than the other two.

GBA CASE HISTORY # 99 (download):
The GBA-Member Firm agreed to provide geotechnical engineering and construction materials engineering and testing (CoMET) services for a contractor hired to construct a two-story office building on a 60-foot fill slope. “The owner can’t afford to build this,” the contractor said when reviewing the Member Firm’s recommendations.” A quick review and stamping of the final grade plan ultimately cost the Member Firm $3.25 million.

GBA CASE HISTORY # 100 (download):
A civil engineer in 1992 contacted the GBA-Member Firm asking if it could provide pile-driving criteria for a hotel to be located on a site the firm had studied three years before, for a different owner. The economy was in a down cycle, encouraging the firm’s engineering-department manager – an experienced, licensed professional – to enter into an oral agreement for a $100 service which ultimately resulted in a seven-figure settlement.

GBA Case Histories are FREE to all Members.

Request for Support – Phase 1 ESAs 2014-2019 Study

GBA has been a leader in documenting the professional conduct Phase I Environmental assessments since 1987.

We have published many State of the Practice studies covering different time periods and these reports have been successfully used in court proceedings to defend professionals from accusations of failure to meet the standard of care.

Our last study covered the time period from 2007 to 2010, a period when EPA said a “good” professional would have considered issues that our study proved are not typically addressed. In 2013, ASTM revised the standard for Phase I report projects and so now, it is time to conduct a new study to see how that has affected the practice. It is critical to get a wide variety of reports for the project, from as many different geographic areas as possible.

See Phase 1 ESA State of the Practice 2007-2010 report HERE.

The Environmental Business Committee of GBA seeks your help. We are looking for Phase I ESA’s completed between 2014 and 2019 for inclusion in this next Standard of Care document. Please help by submitting reports from your firm. All reports should be submitted to Jerry Samford (jerry.samford@troutman.com) by October 15, 2020. You may have questions about the process, so please feel free to contact Jerry at any time.
