Background

About Thomas Ring

Over the past 15 years I have been continually building my technical abilities through research, study, and geotechnical projects. I enjoy developing solutions to complex problems, especially when working with others. I am registered as an Professional Engineer in Canada (Ontario). Currently I serve as a Senior Geotechnical Engineer at Thurber. Typical duties include; proposals, project management, geotechnical design, report writing, slope assessment, and site investigations. While in Australia I worked as a Technical Officer at the University of Western Sydney where I supported soil mechanics labs and research. In addition, I was enrolled part time as a PhD student, conducting research on soft soil behaviour. During my previous time at Wood (formerly AMEC Environment and Infrastructure) I performed a variety of geotechnical engineering and materials testing duties such as; geotechnical investigations, technical report writing, construction materials testing, instrumentation programs, settlement analysis, slope stability and retaining wall design. My Masters degree is in Civil Engineering from the University of Windsor. My thesis topic involved masonry structures/materials. During the course of my research, I gained valuable skills such as project management, problem solving, scheduling, and technical writing. To date I've authored three conference papers and two journal articles based on my research.
