GeoStabilization International\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0is\u00a0hosting a GeoHazard Mitigation Workshop in California. GeoStabilization would like to invite energy sector operators, owners, managers & engineers to this workshop covering advanced topics in landslide, rockfall, and other GeoHazard repair. Please\u00a0contact us<\/a>\u00a0for more information. The\u00a0Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists<\/a>\u00a0are co hosting the workshop and all proceeds\u00a0will be contributed to the Sacramento Valley AEG Scholarship Fund.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

University of California, Davis, February 25th<\/strong>
\nUC Davis Campus<\/a>, Davis, CA
\n550 Alumni Lane,\u00a0Davis, CA 95616\u00a0(Map<\/a>)
\nRegistration starts at 8:30 a.m.
\nWorkshop starts at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 5:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

Workshop Topics:<\/strong>
\nThe workshop will present an introduction to landslide\u00a0and rockfall hazard identification and mitigation. Particular\u00a0attention will be paid to geohazard events affecting well\u00a0pad, lease road, pipeline, compressor station, and other\u00a0energy infrastructures. Participants will learn basic theories\u00a0for a variety of innovative mitigation techniques, the proper\u00a0construction for various solutions, with several case studies\u00a0showing the application of various solutions that work.\u00a0Suggestions for improvements in design and construction\u00a0of well pad and access roads will also be discussed.<\/p>\n

Continuing Education:<\/strong>
\nA PDH Certificate will be issued for the number of hours attended.<\/p>\n

Who should attend:<\/strong>
\nThis workshop has been developed for construction and\u00a0maintenance engineers working for operators responsible\u00a0for the operational security of utilities, upstream, and\u00a0midstream facilities and who deal with stabilization\u00a0challenges on a regular basis. Oil and natural gas\u00a0operators, pipeline owners, company engineering staff from\u00a0construction, field project\/area managers, and maintenance\u00a0groups as well as other interested management will find\u00a0value in attending.<\/p>\n

Workshop Fee:<\/strong>
\nThe workshop\u2019s cost is $50 and space is limited, so preregistration\u00a0is required. Refreshments and lunch will be\u00a0provided. Payment (cash or check) will be accepted onsite.\u00a0Registration fees collected will be contributed to the Sacramento Valley AEG Scholarship Fund.<\/p>\n
