ASCE 2008 Conference, "Sinkholes and the Engineering and Environmental Impacts of Karst"

ATI‘s Principal Geophysicist Michael Wightman, P.G., co-authored a paper, presented at the American Society of Civil Engineers 11th Multi-Disciplinary Conference in September 2008, concerning challenges construction contractors face when designing new buildings and remediating existing structures located in karst regions and the role a properly designed and executed geophysical subsurface study can play in obtaining subsurface information in the planning and design phase of construction projects. While the paper presents case studies based on geophysical survey projects conducted in West Central Florida, the geophysical testing concepts used there can be applied to other areas where similar geological conditions occur.
