Speakers
Jeanne Berg, P.E.
Anticus Engineering, LLCPresident, Anticus Engineering, LLCMs. Berg has over 25 years of geotechnical and materials engineering experience. She has experience performing analyses of shallow and deep foundation designs, including driven and displacement pile systems, retaining walls using mechanically-stabilized earth (MSE) and retained earth (RE) wall methodologies, and cofferdam and underdrain systems. She also has experience in shallow foundations and soil stabilization methods, including deep dynamic compaction (DDC), vibro-replacement, compaction and pressure grouting and soil mixing. Ms. Berg has expertise in applying pile driving analyzer (PDA), pile integrity tester (PIT) and embedded data collector (EDC) technology. In addition, she has managed quality control/quality assurance efforts on construction projects and provided oversight of specialized materials testing. Her experience includes various geotechnical engineering forensic studies including sinkhole, freeze-thaw, hydraulically-modified soil, and vibration analysis and evaluation. She also has successful trial litigation experience utilizing engineering methodologies to determine causation. Ms. Berg is a licensed engineer in Florida, Illinois, and Tennessee. She earned her B.S.C.E. and M.S.C.E. degrees from theSouth Dakota School of Mines and Technology.
