Nicholson’s portion of this project also helped the state and engineers to explore the depths and extent of rubbliza- tion and void spaces associated with historic underground coal mining for future void-fill grouting projects.

The current contract is for exploratory drilling in Kemmerer and several other locations outside of Evanston. Nicholson will be drilling up to 91 exploratory points in the counties of Uinta and Lincoln near Almy, Kemmerer and Cumberland mining districts. The upfront work will allow the state’s engineers to log and examine the data to establish maps for future programs in the area. The lands, waters and watersheds that surround former mine lands where extraction processing has occurred can pose serious threats to the health of both humans and the environment. In just the past three projects, Nicholson has injected, under 116 • DEEP FOUNDATIONS • SEPT/OCT 2019 Effective January 1, 2020, North America Keller companies Bencor, Case Atlantic, Case Foundation, Hayward Baker, HJ Foun- dation, Keller Canada, McKinney Drilling and Moretrench will join together and rebrand to Keller. Operating as one com- pany in each local market, offering all pro- ducts and services, the company expects to be easier to understand and engage with. According to Keller, clients can be confident they’re getting the best, most competitive Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP). The JEC Innovation Awards identify, promote and reward the most innovative composite projects worldwide and celebrates the cooperation between the different segments of the Composite Supply Chain. CEO Sonja Blanc (right) accepted the award for the company’s “bendable thermoplastic composite reinforcements for solutions, especially when involving multi- ple techniques. This integration will further differentiate Keller as a leading geotechnical specialist contractor in North America. At the JEC Innovation Award 2019 ceremony, Sireg Geotech received first prize in the “Construction & Infrastructures” category in partnership with Arkema, the University of Miami, and the National concrete,” rewarded for its characteristics in “revolutionizing the durability of construc- tion.” This award recognizes the innovation in the development and manufacture of glass fiber composite reinforcement bars (rebar) as well as cables for prestressed concrete applications, made with thermo- plastic resin. These kinds of composite products do not rust or corrode and can be reheated and easily shaped or bent. Nicholson in Wyoming
