Measurement While Drilling (MWD) Users Group

This joint industry group was created in cooperation with FHWA, Geo-Institute, DOTs, DFI and TRB Committee AKG20 to share information and provide a forum for interaction among MWD users.  The technology is used widely in the US for monitoring foundation installation, but much less frequently for subsurface exploration purposes. The users group will take on projects such as completing an MWD implementation guide and working on a US standard for the technology, as well as generally educating and sharing information about the technology among members.

Anyone interested in MWD is welcome to join. Meetings are usually held on the last Wednesday of each month. Teams will also be used to house information generated by the group, and links will be provided on this webpage for access.

Group Chair: Jean Benoit
