 “Moretrench announced that Joseph A. Sopko, Ph.D., P.E., has joined the company as Regional Manager for its Midwest operations. Strategically located just north of Milwaukee in Port Washington, Wis., the new office will offer the full range of Moretrench’s technologies to the Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit and St. Louis areas. These include dewatering and groundwater control, ground freezing, earth retention and excavation support, deep foundations, underpinning systems, grouting systems and environmental remediation.
Sopko brings more than 30 years of geotechnical construction experience to his position, specifically in the design and construction of frozen earth structures for excavation support and groundwater control. Over the course of his career, he has been instrumental in the successful completion of a number of significant projects, including mass freezing under Boston’s historic Russia Wharf to permit construction of the Silver Line twin tunnels, and peripheral freezing into bedrock for temporary earth support and groundwater control for the New York City Water Tunnel No. 3 system.”
