“Robert’s broad range of technical, engineering design, field, and presentation skills is a huge asset to our company,” said Hemant Ajbani, Chief Operating Officer at DiPrete Engineering. “His depth of knowledge and management experience will be an outstanding resource for our team and clients.”

Babcock is eager to enhance DiPrete Engineering’s processes and technology offerings.  “My overall goal is to provide every client with a quality survey that meets the scope and budget of each project,” said Babcock.  “Going forward, we will look to combine more advanced technologies such as 3D laser-scanning and drone surveying tools with DiPrete’s solid surveying process to produce comprehensive surveys for our clients.”
