Shane is a seasoned infrastructure specialist with over 17 years experience and expertise in regional risk assessment, vibration analysis, and attenuation solution strategies within complex engineering projects, particularly those focused on emergency management and critical infrastructure settings. He brings over seven years of military service followed by five years supporting the U.S. Department of Defense's Counterterrorism Explosive Operations, where he specialized in analyzing shockwaves and impulse effects. His research included the impact of ground vibrations from explosive charges on the structural safety and integrity of buildings, particularly noting how buildings designed to withstand initial shockwaves could suffer catastrophic failures from slower, but more powerful, vibration waves.
