Speakers
Steven Halcomb, P.E., G.E.
Devise EngineeringMr. Halcomb has over 16 years of geotechnical earthquake engineering experience in Alaska and throughout the US. He is Principal Geotechnical Engineer with Devise Engineering in Anchorage, Alaska. Mr. Halcomb regularly oversees geotechnical efforts on projects ranging from several hundred thousand to multi-million dollars in various environments including the arctic, subarctic, and marine. He has experience in shallow and deep foundation design, retaining walls, slope stability, pavements, excavations, and regularly aids during construction and performs various inspections. Mr. Halcomb has worked in ideal and adverse conditions including liquefiable and expansive soils and frozen ground requiring extensive thermal modeling. He is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Geo-Institute. Mr. Halcomb earned his B.S., M.C.E., M.S. in Arctic Engineering, and an Earthquake graduate certificate all from the University of Alaska Anchorage.
