Underground Construction - July 2020 - 26

Trenchless Technology Center Report
partnering once again with ASCE's Utility
Engineering and Surveying Institute (UESI)
and the National Utility Contractors
Association (NUCA) to offer a five-day Utility
Investigation School (UIS). This specialty
school was recently taught by the foremost
experts in the geophysics and subsurface
utility engineering (SUE) fields for the
fourth time on Tech's campus in early
March. The course covered geophysics, utility
systems construction and configuration,
ASCE 38-02, risk-based presentations, and
professional liability issues.
The instructors for this school were led
Dr. Tom Iseley. The program included
an industry day where technology providers
were able to show and demonstrate their
tools. The TTC team is committed to
increasing the awareness and expanding
knowledge of SUE on a global basis and
has also started to provide UIS schools at
other locations.

BERT Training Facility

Currently, the TTC Underground
Infrastructure Campus (UIC) consists of the
world-class National Trenchless Technology
Research Facility (NTTRF), sponsored by
industry through the leadership of Dr. Ray
Sterling, an LA Tech Professor Emeritus
and Honorary TTC IAB member, during his
tenure as TTC Director. In addition, TTC
also has a facility used for long-term testing
and specialized testing programs as well as
specialized labs across LA Tech campus.
A new facility, Barbera Education,
Research and Training (BERT), will be
committed to meeting the ever-increasing
challenges for the global underground
infrastructure, Fund raising has met its
initial goal and construction is expected
to get underway this summer.
Once completed, TTC plans to begin
using BERT right away by holding the
fourth five-day Auger Boring School (ABS)
this fall. Helping meet the high demand

for engineers and contractors to have
training in auger boring design, application
and installation, ABS includes classroom
lectures and practical sessions.
BERT will also be available for other
training programs, and for international
equipment and material manufacturers
and technology providers to conduct
research and development, and technology
validation. The facility will also serve as
the industry's resource for workforce and
professional development.
However, BERT is not the end of the
story. This vision for TTC is to expand
NTTRF to at least double its size and
then construct a world-leading lecture hall
with meeting rooms and offices totally
dedicated to the trenchless industry.
For more information about training
opportunities or any TTC research
and other activities, please contact
TTC Director, Dr. John Matthews at
