Presenters:
Kirk Roberts | VP of Preconstruction
Kirk Roberts is Vice President of Preconstruction at CJGeo, a lightweight and chemical specialty grouting contractor. Mr. Roberts focuses on special projects, most of which involve addressing unanticipated challenges in the underground & civil markets with chemical and cellular grouts. From solving a 25MGD mine infiltration problem to stabilizing shafts that are sinking, not being sunk, the more unique, the better.
Brian Bucek | Geotechnical Engineer
Brian Bucek is a Professional Engineer in the Commonwealth of Virginia and CJGeo's in-house Geotechnical Engineer for Preconstruction. Brian worked as a geotechnical engineer consultant for over 15 years prior to joining CJGeo in May 2022. His current duties include performing engineering calculations for bearing, buoyancy, settlement, and lateral pressure considerations; and review and oversight of third-party laboratories performing unconfined compression testing on CJFill cellular concrete.
