Patrick M. Broussard, C.P.G. 9086 - patb@iconenv.com

Pat has been conducting professional environmental and geological projects since the early 1980's. Prior to joining ICON, Pat operated his own consulting firm in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Pat provides an unsurpassed wealth of knowledge of sampling and environmental data acquisition. Pat was invited by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality Solid Waste Division to lecture at the Solid and Hazardous Waste Conference in April 1997 on "Utilizing Geophysical Logging for Subsurface Geology". Pat has designed and patented a suite of soil and groundwater sampling tools ("Missing Link") designed to obtain discrete samples within boreholes or by direct push technology. Pat has also designed and implemented innovative direct push monitor well installation for the Navy in Mayport, Florida. Pat is also an expert at evaluation of existing monitoring well networks and routinely performs through-casing evaluation of geology and well construction, video well surveys, and state-of-the-art plugging and abandonment of wells in contaminated environments. Pat is the primary choice for many oil and gas exploration companies when it comes to assessing injection well breaches that require deep well assessments.
