"Chris is a very experienced engineering geologist, who has seen a multitude of geological challenges in his vast project experience. He is a true believer and ambassador of the digital revolution in the infrastructure industry and has been working towards reducing geological risk for a long time. That is something that will bring a lot of value to us", says Andi Pfaffhuber.
