"Terracon is a consulting business of engineers and scientists. I have learned many things such as how to test soil densities and concrete while also be able to observe pile driving, asphalt, and proof roll operations. I have also learned to be able to find the optimum compaction density of soil through extensive laboratory tests that I was required to use skills that I have learned from past sciences courses. My experience was great and I learned a great deal of how our society create and regenerate structures and all the efforts to erect them. There are also many environmental assessments that I have learned through learning how to control soil contamination and erosion to help keep our environment stable and clean while also advising clients to create projects with the least amounts of environmental impacts possible."
