As we wrap up this year's summer internship program, we're grateful for the contributions of our interns and excited to connect with students at career fairs across New England this fall.

Our internship program gives students the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to real projects, gain practical industry experience, and explore career paths in engineering and construction materials testing. Throughout the summer, interns worked alongside experienced professionals in our offices, laboratories, and at project sites, gaining exposure to a variety of projects and service areas.

We're thankful for the energy, enthusiasm, and fresh perspectives this year's interns brought to our team, and we look forward to meeting students this fall to discuss internship opportunities and career paths within our industry.

What space is needed for on-site concrete testing?

For concrete field testing to be performed efficiently, our technicians need a safe, accessible area away from equipment traffic. This space allows them to set up testing materials, conduct field testing procedures, and prepare concrete samples.

Planning ahead for a designated work area helps keep the testing process running smoothly and supports timely project documentation.

What does geotechnical drilling look like in the field?

Students at the University of Maine had the opportunity to find out during this year's drilling demonstration, led by Nathan Strout, P.E.

Nate guided students through the geotechnical drilling process, providing a firsthand look at field operations, drilling equipment, and the role subsurface explorations play in engineering projects.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the event possible, and to University of Maine Civil Engineering Professor Aaron Gallant, Ph.D., P.E., for once again inviting us to connect with UMaine students.

What can clients do to help make the geotechnical engineering portion of a project successful?

Engage your geotechnical engineer early and share key project information as soon as it's available.

Bringing geotechnical engineers into the conceptual or early design phase can help identify site constraints, reduce risk, and reveal opportunities to optimize design.

To get started, we typically need site access details, existing utility information, site layout and grading concepts, concept plans, and the anticipated construction schedule. Existing utility information is especially important when planning subsurface exploration programs on urban and suburban sites.

Why do we ask for a soil sample before performing field density testing?

The sample is used to perform a laboratory moisture–density relationship (Proctor) test, which establishes the soil's maximum density and optimum moisture content.

To perform this test, soil is compacted in a mold at various moisture contents. The resulting data provides laboratory reference values that are used during field compaction testing.

During field density testing, our technicians use the laboratory reference values along with a nuclear density gauge to calculate the percentage of compaction achieved in the field. The gauge measures in-place density and moisture content, and those results are compared to the Proctor test values to determine percent compaction.

Our team members see some memorable views while working in the field. This photo of a rainbow over an airport project was captured by Judson Irish and selected as one of the winners in our recent employee photo contest.

We appreciate team members who share the unique perspectives they encounter in the field throughout the year.
