The Buried Asset Management Institute – International (BAMI-I) & ASCE’s Utility Engineering and Surveying Institute (UESI) have teamed up to conduct the 22nd ASCE UESI / BAMI-I UIS School in 2024. We are also thrilled to collaborate with TxDOT, who has graciously provided the venue for this event. Our heartfelt thanks go to TxDOT for their support and partnership, which plays a crucial role in making this educational opportunity possible.This short course will give practitioners the knowledge and tools to provide competent utility investigations in accordance with accepted national standards (ASCE 38) and to defend against claims through this knowledge and its documentation. In addition to the classroom lectures, practical sessions will be held where participants will be offered hands-on experience with the GPR, PCL, and etc. This 5-day school will be taught by the foremost experts in the geophysics and subsurface utility engineering field.

BODY OF KNOWLEDGE DOCUMENTS COVERED

• ASCE 38-22: Utility Investigation and Documentation Standard
