Mr. Bailey was a staff engineer with AT&E Engineering in Atlanta. During that time he planned geotechnical studies and prepared foundation reports for schools, shopping centers and office complexes. In addition he performed onsite evaluations of footing excavations under construction and directed load testing of driven piling.

Mr. Bailey was manager of Coleman Testing Laboratory in Augusta, Georgia. As manager he was responsible for directing the operations of the office, which included preparation of geotechnical reports; directing laboratory testing of soil and concrete; directing field testing of soil and concrete used on construction; conducting pile load tests; and developing proposals for geotechnical studies. Clients included the City of Augusta, Richmond County, the Corps of Engineers, various developers and contractors. As manager of this lab Mr. Bailey became very familiar with the subsurface conditions in an around the Augusta, Aiken, S.C. and fall line area.
