Before PDCA’s 2019 annual arrives,
we are focused on our 19th annual Design
and Installation of Cost-Efficient Piles
(DICEP) conference. DICEP 2018 will be
held at the Hyatt Regency Baltimore Inner
Harbor, in Baltimore, Md., September 19
and 20.
The theme of this year’s DICEP
conference is “Benefits of Driven Pile in
Infrastructure: An Engineer’s Perspective,”
which ties into PDCA’s strategic plan
regarding increasing awareness of the need
to rebuild North America’s infrastructure.
The conference will consist of industry
keynote presentations, industry case
histories and other technical presentations,
each addressing the conference theme and
providing an opportunity to share experiences,
learn from each other and advance
the pile driving profession. Individuals or
companies interested in proposing a presentation
should contact the PDCA office
at 904-215-4771 or email Debbie Schmidt,
PDCA’s director of events and meetings, at debbie@piledrivers.org.
All proposed presentations will be considered by the PDCA
Education Committee.
The conference will also feature an exhibit area specifically
designed for networking, socializing and exposure to companies
exhibiting their products, services, tools, techniques and capabilities.
