Owen Sanderson serves as a Senior Project Manager and Corporate Technical Director for CME Services at ETTL Engineers and Consultants, Inc., where he leverages his extensive expertise in geotechnical engineering to lead complex projects across various sectors, including infrastructure, environmental, and civil engineering. With a strong foundation in soil mechanics and foundation design, Owen is instrumental in ensuring the integrity and safety of structures such as buildings, bridges, and dams. His role involves logging soil core boring samples, assigning geotechnical engineering tests, and calculating foundation designs tailored to specific project requirements.
Owen's recent projects highlight his proficiency in specialty geotechnical lab testing, including fully softened soils, triaxial tests (CU, CD, UU), direct shear tests for clays and sands, and consolidation tests. His innovative approach is underscored by his Masters Thesis, "Approximation of the Moisture Density Relationship of Inorganic Soils by the Moisture Density Index," which introduces two new correlation variables to the field, enhancing the understanding of soil behavior under varying moisture conditions. This research not only contributes to academic discourse but also informs practical applications in foundation design and soil stabilization.
With a comprehensive skill set that encompasses road and bridge design, earthworks, drainage systems, and erosion control, Owen is adept at navigating the complexities of geotechnical challenges. His commitment to excellence and continuous improvement positions him as a valuable asset to ETTL Engineers and Consultants, driving successful project outcomes while fostering innovation in geotechnical practices.
