Buried Risks: When the Ground Rewrites the Plan
A shipwreck under a city block.
A bulkhead failing in a storm.
A sensor that says “stop—now.”
In this episode of ROCK SOLID LEADERS, Damian Siebert (Haley & Aldrich) takes us inside urban geotechnical work where surprises are guaranteed and decisions can’t wait.
You’ll hear:
The enabling work that quietly makes—or breaks—projects
How real-time monitoring can change the course of a project
What it takes to deliver bad news and keep trust
Designs that fail safely when the unknown shows up
Why denser cities and aging utilities raise the stakes
If you build in cities, this is your field manual for the ground you can’t see.
