Dr. Teskey's research expertise is in precise engineering and deformation surveys. Research activities have included deformation monitoring of engineering structures (e.g. dams, large diameter buried pipelines, the New Brunswick - Prince Edward Island Confederation Bridge, the roof of the Calgary Olympic Speedskating Oval, the Calgary Tower) and high- precision industrial alignment surveys (e.g. TRIUMF particle accelerator, ATCO Power turbine-generator units, kilns used in the production of cement, granulators used in the production of fertilizer). The measurement instrumentation has included digital levels, electronic total stations and GPS satellite receivers.
New research work is planned in dynamic deformation monitoring via 3D (three-dimensional) laser scanning. The goal is to develop measurement and analysis methodologies so that accurate results can be generated and displayed in near real-time. Because of his interest in precise engineering and deformation surveys, Dr. Teskey is the Canadian Delegate to the International Federation of Surveyors Commission 6 (Engineering Surveys).
