Title: “Horizontal Auger Bores: Geotechnical Exploration & Impact on Feasibility, Design, and Construction” Abstract: Shawn Smith has worked on many trenchless projects throughout Ohio since 2022. He will discuss his experiences with geotechnical explorations, feasibility studies, design, and installation of horizontal auger bores. Learning Objectives: • Overview of the HAB installation process; • Goals and best practices for geotechnical explorations for HAB projects; • Understanding of subsurface conditions' effect on HAB feasibility; • Understanding of HAB design requirements and process; |
