Utility Investigation School Offers Training on Utility Engineering and Surveying
July 18, 2024
The educational event offers opportunities for learning, networking and professional development in subsurface utility engineering.
The 23rd ASCE UESI/BAMII-I UIS School will be held in conjunction with the James E. Clyburn University Transportation Center (JECUTC) at South Carolina State University in Orangeburg, South Carolina. This collaboration highlights the organizations' commitment to expanding educational boundaries and enhancing practical knowledge in utility engineering and surveying.
While the venue and collaboration might bring new scenery, the Utility Investigation School is built on the foundation and success of the TxDOT UIS programs. The organizers will incorporate the strengths of previous programs and introduce unique elements from the partnership with JECUTC.
Utility professionals are welcome to attend the event from Aug. 5 to 9, 2024, for a week of learning, networking and professional development in the field of subsurface utility engineering.
