“I had the privilege to work with Patrick and the Wilson Ihrig team on a complicated and controversial construction vibration monitoring project. As the project manager, I had to call Patrick and his team multiple times to perform emergency checks of the vibration monitoring equipment and crack gauges installed in multiple historic buildings along the mile-long project site. Patrick and his team always showed a high level of expertise, professionalism, and were 100% reliable and dependable. As I worked with Patrick in person and saw him as a very dedicated individual with a high level of attention to detail.”
