TRACY J. LYMAN, P.E., P.G.

Principal

 

Summary of Experience

 

Mr. Lyman has over 34 years of progressive experience in geological and geotechnical engineering specializing in rock and soil engineering and hydrogeology.  He has applied this expertise to a variety of waste management and remediation, tunneling, trenchless technology, highway and bridge, water development, hydroelectric, power, mining, and industrial projects throughout the United States and abroad.  Mr. Lyman's management experience includes project management where he has delivered geotechnical and environmental consulting and design assignments for projects with up to $115 million in construction costs, and general management where he has served as regional manager responsible for over 35 people in four offices in the western US, been responsible for a department of 30 people for a large company and co-founded his own consulting engineering practice.  Mr. Lyman has taught rock mechanics at the University of Colorado, lectured at the Microtunneling Short Course at the Colorado School of Mines, published professional papers, lectured extensively, and has actively participated in professional activities.
