Job description

Powertech's specialized lab is equipped with advanced equipment to evaluate filter performance in embankment dams across a wide range of soil types, from fine-grained materials to coarse particles. Core Services Testing of Fill Materials for Embankment Dams : Internal erosion represents a significant risk to embankment dams and accounts for nearly half of all dam safety incidents.

Due to challenges with assessing internal erosion in-situ and the lack of availability of numerical models, non-standardized laboratory tests and empirical methods are primarily relied on.

Powertech has developed advanced test equipment to evaluate filter performance in embankment dams across a wide range of soil types, from fine-grained materials to coarse particles up to 125 mm.

Soil Thermal Resistivity Testing : A crucial part of designing cable systems and thermal storage facilities is estimating the thermal behavior of the soil.

Powertech provides field and laboratory testing services to measure the Thermal Resistivity (TR) of native soils or backfill materials required for underground power lines.

  • * Operates a variety of equipment used in the testing set up.
  • * Provides janitorial and cleanup services for the lab.
  • * Performs duties of a minor nature related to the above duties that do not affect the rating of the job.

This role will support the Civil Testing services team.

  • Experience in soil and materials laboratory testing, including sample preparation (processing, washing, drying, sieving, and moisture conditioning) and test setup would be an asset.
