Miles is a registered professional engineer and a mining engineering graduate of the Colorado School of Mines, with a Master's of Science degree in Project and Construction Management from Golden State University in San Francisco.  He brings a wealth of  experience solving problems associated with difficult soil conditions and construction practices primarily in the hills east of San Francisco.  His new role includes technical and administrative direction of all geotechnical and materials engineering, construction materials testing, and drilling services provided through our Tulsa office.  Miles is a "hands-on" manager  dedicated to establishing and maintaining client satisfaction.

Please call Miles at 918-459-2700 for your geotechnical or testing needs, or come by and have him show you our  facilities at 5358 South 125th E. Ave., Suite B, Tulsa, OK.

Oklahoma City's Will Rogers World Airport is undergoing a major expansion. At completion, the terminal will be 583,000 square feet with two new concourses. Improvements to parking and baggage return are also planned.

Standard Testing and Engineering performed the subsurface exploration, including pressuremeter testing, providing recommendations for the foundation, earthwork, and pavement. As the project construction progresses we will be providing the construction materials testing.

Inaccessible sites are not a problem for Standard Testing any more. Our new CME-850 ATV drill rig can negotiate soft mud, deep snow, or sand. The CME-850 is mounted on 33 inch wide tracks with a walking beam suspension that can easily climb over fallen logs and rocks. Our rig can go where a man can't even walk. Standard's all terrain capability saves our clients time and money that otherwise have to be spent on clearing and building access roads to inaccessible sites. Visit the Central Mining Equipment (CME) web site for more information on the CME-850. www.cmeco.com

Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History is being built on the University of Oklahoma campus in Norman, Oklahoma. This beautiful new facility will be a new home for the 5 million artifacts that are in the OU collection.

Before the ground was broken on this large project, Standard Testing was there conducting the subsurface investigation. We drilled exploratory borings, performed insitu testing, and observed the subsurface materials. With this subsurface information we made recommendations for foundation types and loads, earthwork, and paving for the structure. Throughout the construction process our CMT technicians will be performing quality control for the facility.

Oklahoma City's Metropolitan Area Projects (MAPS) plan includes building a new 73 million dollar indoor sports arena. The arena site is in the downtown area and will seat 18,000 to 20,000 people. Standard Testing was chosen to do the extensive subsurface borings, testing, engineering evaluation, and construction materials testing for quality control.

StanTech Engineering has been performing liner installation inspection and quality control for the Lone Mountain Hazardous Waste Landfill located in northwest Oklahoma.

Standard Testing and Engineering Company has been selected to perform the geotechnical work for the H. E. Bailey Turnpike Extension in Norman, Oklahoma. The project is an 9 mile new alignment, involving a pedological soil survey, cut section survey, and fill section survey. The project will also include 18 bridges and 3 interchanges. The Norman spur is part of a state-wide turnpike expansion project with a budget in excess of 200 million dollars.
