C & C's Geotechnical Laboratory Expands
Jill Rivette has joined C & C Technologies Geotechnical Division in Houston, TX, USA, as a senior geotechnical engineer. The lab has purchased three new Direct Simple Shear devices to satisfy the increasing demand, which brings its total number of Direct Simple Shear devices to nine. Two additional Cyclic Simple Shear devices have also been added, expanding the total number of these devices to four.
The additional test devices, along with over 40 other specialised test devices including Resonant Column, Controlled Rate of Strain Consolidation, and Ko Consolidated Triaxial allow C&C to perform large-scale geotechnical lab testing programmes often required for deep water site investigations.
The C & C geotechnical laboratory has been quite active in 2014 performing standard and advanced soil tests on core samples obtained from offshore East Africa, along with several extensive lab testing programmes on projects in the Gulf of Mexico.
Jill is a licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Texas and brings with her many years of experience in geotechnical engineering.
