Prese nted by Kyle Rollins, Professor at BYU
Please register below for CalG eo's free Emerging Professional webinar presented by Kyle Rollins and spons ored by our new Affiliate member Uretek. Kyle Olsen with Uretek will also b e available to answer questions specific to the polyurethane foam.
The webinar will cover a br ief introduction to compaction grouting via the use of a structural polyure thane. Many engineers are familiar with this product and process, so we wil l be exploring an in-depth analysis of liquefaction mitigation, focusing ce ntrally on extensive infield testing performed in Christchurch New Zealand, the epicenter of liquefiable soil‘s in high seismicity, one of the most ac tive zones on the planet!
Dr. Rollins performed the actual testing in Christ church, NZ after the 2011 earthquake to devastate the city. He expl ored 17 different mitigate of techniques, and found the most cost effective as well as effective solutions to be polymer injection technology, which p roved so successful that it was actually written into the building code in New Zealand.
This event is free, please click the link below to regis ter for the live webinar with GoToWebinar. The webinar will be recorded and available to CalGeo members through our Online Learning Library (member login required)

Rex Klentzman Gradua ted from Texas A&M University in 2003 with a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering. He is the Director of Engineering for URETEK USA and in that role he provides engineering support on polymer grouting projects across t he nation. Rex is a licensed Professional Engineer in multiple states and also coordinates with local engineers regarding URETEK projects. He starte d in the polymer grouting industry in the late 90’s as an instillation tech nician while attending Texas A&M and returned to Uretek in 2014 to lead the engineering team. His experience and understanding of the polymer gro uting ground improvement process puts him at the forefront of the industry.
