The LV Section of ASCE is proud to announce the establishment of a new technical Institute, the Northeast PA Geo-Institute (NEPA-GI). The name has been intentionally chosen to encourage inclusion of geo-professionals from across the entire Section, from Reading to Scranton and all surrounding counties. We look forward to providing regular programming specific to geotechnical and geologic issues, including webinars, in-person dinner meetings, construction site visits, and outreach to interested students.
