Expanded Capabilities at C&C’s Geotechnical Laboratory
Jill Rivette has joined the C&C Technologies Geotechnical’s Division in Houston, TX, USA, as a Senior Geotechnical Engineer. Jill is a licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Texas and brings with her many years of experience in geotechnical engineering.
The lab has purchased three new Direct Simple Shear devices, 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. These additional test devices, along with over 40 other highly 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.
