Guided by 25 years’ experience, Steve Klein has been a leader in the planning, design, and construction of more than 80 tunnel projects, including tunnels for water supply, wastewater, power, highways, and mass transit. His expertise covers soft ground and rock tunnels, geotechnical investigations, ground characterization, tunnel excavation and support methods, tunnel lining design, and grouting for ground improvement. Mr. Klein has worked on difficult tunnel projects in urban areas where issues of settlement control, minimizing construction impacts, and seismic safety are critical. Regarded as an expert in microtunneling and pipe jacking methods, he has taught at numerous seminars and conferences across the country.
Formerly Vice President of the Golden Gate Branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and past member of the Microtunneling Standards Committee, he is also a member of the American Society for Testing and Materials and North American Society for Trenchless Technology. Mr. Klein has published more than 30 technical papers on geotechnical engineering, tunneling, and microtunneling topics.
Mr. Klein received his MS in Geotechnical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, and his BS in Geotechnical and Structural Engineering from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. He is a Registered Civil Engineer in California, Oregon, and Utah and a Registered Geotechnical Engineer in California. |
