NETWORKING CORNER
with various companies to provide some very interesting
solutions for some of the challenges that have been presented
over the past several years.
What do you love about your job?
Every project is different, with different challenges on each
and you have to work with the engineers and contractors to
determine what is the best method to complete their project
using the most productive and cost-effective equipment
available.
What are the challenges you experience in your job?
Time – contractors don’t seem to have sufficient time to
prepare for the projects once they have received their award
notice. But with many of the challenges of western and northern
Canada, we adapt and persevere to get the job done in
some of the harshest conditions and remote locations.
What are your future goals?
I want to work so that BAUER remains number one in the
industry.
What are your predictions for the future of deep foundation
construction in Canada?
The project requirements are getting more challenging with
larger, deeper drilled shafts as well as an increased use of new
methodology, such as soil mixing, cutter soil mixing, slurry
method, cased Kelly drilling, diaphragm walls and much
larger driven piles in some of toughest conditions.
