The Geo-Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers held Geotechnical Frontiers in Louisville, Kentucky.?EEI’s Director of Geotechnical Design, Jay McKelvey, attended the conference to present a technical paper and meet with the Embankment, Dams and Slopes technical committee, the Earth Retaining Structures technical committee, and the Geosynthetics Technical committee.?Jay also hosted a meeting for the Local Involvement Committee (LIC) where he serves as the chair.

Last Saturday Earth Engineering Inc. (EEI) was proud to be a sponsor at the Mikes Seafood Run/Walk for Autism in Sea Isle City, New Jersey. Ward and Teri McMasters participated in the walk and they were joined by Carolyn Lang of EEI’s New Jersey Division. The photo shows them posing with the Polar Bear mascot of the event. Also participating in the event was Eagles favorite Jason Kelce and his family. Ward and Jason exchanged a fist a pump along the route as Jason was gracious as always walking along with his family to support the cause. A true fan boy moment for Ward. The event was a tremendous success raising funds to support Autism programs. The motto for the event is “Any day you can do something for children with disabilities, it’s a good day!"

Exciting news from 1900 N. Front Street in the Fishtown section of Philadelphia!?The HOW Group celebrated with their ribbon-cutting ceremony at **The Isaac**, their stunning new development.

A big congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this project to life, and a special thanks to The How Group and BIA of Philadelphia for including EEI in this great event.?#TheIsaac #RibbonCutting #PhiladelphiaRealEstate #TheHOWGroup #BIAPhiladelphia

Earth Engineering Inc. (EEI) was retained to investigate the persistent settlement of a residential roadway for a development in Tredyffrin Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Previous attempts to address the issue had been unsuccessful. The site is in a karst region which is prone to sinkholes. However, the subsurface investigation determined that the settlement was not due to sinkhole activity but rather to historic miscellaneous fill material which was loosely placed and some of which was prone to decomposition. EEI provided remediation recommendations to resolve the issue.

For the Hawk Falls Bridge replacement project on the Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike near Lehighton, Pennsylvania. Earth Engineering Incorporated was involved in testing of temporary footings for temporary support structures prior to the installation of the new bridge.

We are proud to announce that EEI's Jay McKelvey, P.E., BC. GE, F.ASCE, delivered an insightful presentation at the 34th ASCE Central Pennsylvania Geotechnical Conference held in Hershey, PA. His talk, titled "A New 11-Meter-High Roadway Over Soft Soils", at the Edelman Fossil Park of Rowan University highlighted innovative approaches to overcoming the challenges of constructing roadways on difficult soil conditions. Jay’s expertise in geotechnical engineering and his contributions to the field made this a must-see session for anyone involved in infrastructure and soil stabilization. Congratulations, Jay, for representing Earth Engineering Inc. and sharing your knowledge! #ASCE #GeotechnicalEngineering #EarthEngineering #SoftSoils #Infrastructure #RoadwayConstruction #EngineeringInnovation #RowanUniversity #FossilPark
