Meet New 2021 SME President William “Bill” Edgerton
|
At tomorrow’s conclusion of the MINEXCHANGE 2021 SME Annual Conference & Expo, held virtually for the first time in the Society’s history, Bill Edgerton will be installed as 2021 President of SME. Edgerton’s placement as President of the Society marks another first for SME as he becomes the first SME President to come from the Underground Construction Association, a Division of SME (UCA).
“I’m really excited to take on the challenge of leading the Society back from the land of COVID. I know a lot of people are working on this, and it’s going to take a village to get us to the point where we can all be comfortable with in-person meetings and networking again. I look forward to seeing many of you throughout the year as we return to semi-normal in how we conduct business,” Edgerton said.

With a background in tunneling and underground construction and other heavy civil engineering projects, Edgerton will look to establish a theme of finding common ground, not just between the UCA and SME’s seven other Divisions, but among all SME members, irrespective of Division, Section or other affiliation. Edgerton recently spoke with Mining Engineering about his goals for his year as President of SME.

How mobile LiDAR data delivers better outcomes at BHP’s Olympic Dam mine
The survey and production teams began using the Hovermap LiDAR scanner to map stopes in February 2019 as a replacement for CMS. Since then, they have expanded its applications into geotechnical analysis, to improve their understanding of the rock mass behavior in other mining areas.
