GeoEngineers will be attending, presenting, and exhibiting at the upcoming American Public Works Association (APWA) Washington Spring Conference at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center from April 22-24, and we hope you can join us! Stop by our booth and say hello to Layne Alfonso and Andrea Rocha, and a large group of our staff will be attending sessions, giving presentations, and networking throughout the week.
If you’re in town for the conference we’d love to give you a taste of Tacoma history (and whisky) at our welcome social on April 22! Meet us at Ebony and Ivory Coffee, just a block north of the convention center, at 6:30 pm. GeoEngineers has been in Tacoma for 35 years, and we’re excited to be co-hosting this event with our local friends at TCF Architecture and Psomas.
We’re also rooting for WSDOT and the rest of our project team for the SR 108 – US 101/Mason and Thurston Co Fish Barrier project, which has been nominated for an APWA Project of the Year Award. Some of our senior team members will be at the awards banquet on April 24 to see the year’s best projects—and celebrate some excellent work!
April Smith and Brian Ranney are also giving presentations in their respective areas of expertise, business development and trenchless technology. Check out their presentation descriptions below, and add these sessions to your conference schedule if you’d like to learn more!
