Dr. Brierley has more than 40 years of experience with both the technical and nontechnical aspects of underground engineering and construction management. From the technical perspective, Dr. Brierley began his career with the Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering from Tufts University in 1968 and the Master’s and Doctor’s degrees from the University of Illinois in 1970 and 1975, respectively. Beginning as a project manager in 1970, Dr. Brierley worked on literally hundreds of projects involving all types of underground design and construction including tunnel design, soil and rock engineering, building foundations, braced excavations, ground improvement, and slope stability. Beginning in the 1970’s, Dr. Brierley concentrated on the design and construction of tunneling projects by managing the instrumentation program for Dupont Circle Subway Station in Washington, D.C. This assignment formed the basis for his doctoral dissertation, which addressed the structural performance of large, shallow underground openings in rock. Since that time he has worked on more than 500 major soil and rock tunneling projects involving design, construction management and consultation for owners, contractors, engineers, public agencies, and attorneys.From the nontechnical perspective, Dr. Brierley is experienced in all aspects of office management, project management and business development.Dr. Brierley has taught at the Universities of Illinois, Rochester, Colorado at Denver and the Colorado School of Mines. He has lectured extensively on tunnel design and construction, subsurface investigations, rock mechanics, blasting vibrations, foundation design, and the non-technical aspects of professional practice at numerous colleges and professional meetings. He is the author of more than 100 professional papers and is active in many professional societies.

Listed skills include Geotechnical Engineering, Foundation Design, Tunneling, Soil, and 28 others.
