SearchEarly Careers Webinar Series: An Introduction to XRF in Contaminated Land Investigations and the Principals of Pavement Design, is a two-hour webinar designed for early career professionals.
Taking place on Thursday 16th July between 11am – 1pm, this webinar is part of a series designed to support early career geotechnical and geoenvironmental professionals in developing practical knowledge and technical confidence.
Chaired by Harry McAllister, (Principal Geotechnical Consultant at TRC Companies), this webinar will examine XRF in Contaminated Land Investigations and the Principals of Pavement Design.
This virtual event will feature three presenters, including Mike Smith, who will introduce BS10177, which focuses on X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyzers to investigate contaminated land. Mikes presentation will examine the standards purpose, scope and practical application. James Nicholas, (Senior Land Quality Consultant at Arup), will then present a real‑world case study demonstrating the use of XRF in the field.
The final presentation will be delivered by Tom Green, (Technical Manager (UK) – Pavements at Socotec), who will provide an introduction to the principles of pavement design, linking in‑situ testing and site investigation data to design outcomes.
The webinar will conclude with a joint Q&A session, giving attendees the opportunity to put questions directly to the speakers and explore the topics in further detail.
