Course on Geotechnical Instrumentation for Field Measurements

A course on Geotechnical Instrumentation for Field Measurements will be held on March 15-17, 2009 at the Doubletree Hotel in Cocoa Beach, FL.
The course is organized by John Dunnicliff and the University of Florida. I will be one of the trainers. More information can be found here
This is a course for practitioners, taught by practitioners with wide field experience. The emphasis is on why and how. The topic is instrumentation for monitoring performance during construction and operation rather than instrumentation to determine in situ parameters.
This continuing education course will include presentations by users of instrumentation from USA, England, Canada, France, and Switzerland.  There will also be technical presentations and instrument displays by major manufacturers of geotechnical instrumentation from USA, Canada, and England.  Some earlier courses have emphasized the users' views: this course will be an international cooperative effort between manufacturers and users.
Who should attend?
Engineers, geologists, or technicians who are involved with performance monitoring of geotechnical features during construction and operating phases
Project managers and other decision-makers who are concerned with safety or performance of geotechnical construction and consequential behavior
