Instrumentation & Testing: From Deep Ground to Outer Space

Join us for a technical conversation with Rayan Shamas exploring the methods, technologies, and importance of instrumentation and testing

Join us for a technical conversation with Rayan Shamas exploring the methods, technologies, and importance of instrumentation and testing in the construction and engineering industry—from deep ground applications to advanced monitoring solutions. Topics include geotechnical, geostructural, and structural monitoring; ground, deformation, and environmental monitoring using sensors, loggers, scanners, and satellites; and best practices for implementing effective instrumentation and deep foundation testing programs, including lessons learned and common pitfalls to avoid.

Rayan Shamas, Senior Project Manager, GZA Contractor Services Division & Digital Technology Solutions is an accomplished geo-structural instrumentation engineer with over 14 years of experience in the heavy civil industry. His expertise includes deep foundation observation and testing; automated geotechnical instrumentation; vibration, noise, and environmental monitoring; and non-destructive testing of deep foundation systems. He is nationally recognized for leadership in Cross-Hole Sonic Logging (CSL), Thermal Integrity Profiling (TIP), Pile Driving Analysis (PDA), and Static Load Testing (SLT). Mr. Shamas is an active member of the Deep Foundations Institute (DFI) and the Institute of Noise Control Engineering
