Unveiling the Unseen: Innovative Technologies for Mapping Subsurface and Above Ground Site Conditions, Wednesday, October 30, 2024, Maggiano’s Tysons Corner, 11am-1pm
WACEL’s October 30 General Membership Meeting presents innovative technology that is changing the game for mapping below and above ground conditions. Aaron Goldstein, PE, a geophysicist and technology integration expert (Universal Engineering Services will lead the discussion
Unveiling the Unseen: Advanced Sensing Technologies
Discover how geophysical and non-destructive techniques are transforming engineers’ ability to detect and map buried utilities, debris, and other hidden below-grade conditions. Aaron will describe the latest innovations that allow us to "see" beneath the surface with unprecedented clarity and accuracy.
Synergy in Action: Geophysics Meets Geotechnics
The presentation explores the powerful synergy between geophysical techniques and traditional geotechnical applications. Aaron will delve into how these complementary approaches can enhance our understanding of subsurface conditions and improve project outcomes.
Above and Below: Reality Capture and 3D Modeling
The presentation offers a preview of the future of site assessment with reality capture and laser scanning technologies. Learn how these tools are used to create highly detailed 3D models of above-grade structures and integrate them seamlessly with below-grade data.
Visualizing the Invisible: Advanced Data Integration
We will explore the world of advanced visualization techniques that allow engineers to comprehend and navigate complex above-grade and below-grade site conditions. Learn how these tools are empowering decision-making and streamlining project planning.
Aaron Goldstein, PG is a geophysicist and technology integration expert with specialties at evaluating subsurface conditions through geophysical and non-destructive techniques. His expertise includes leading geophysical campaigns to characterize the subsurface and innovating new approaches to resolving unknown below-grade conditions. He assists and advises clients to avoid potential geological hazards such as buried debris and unknown buried assets.
As a regional department manager of UES' Virtual Design Consulting (VDC) department, Aaron educates professionals in the AEC industry while managing projects across the country. He frequently assists with 3D Subsurface Information Model (SIM) campaigns, which helps preconstruction and design teams work around existing subsurface utilities and conditions. In addition, Aaron experiments with augmented reality and virtual reality techniques to help visualize and bring the field to the office.
