GEI Consultants International Bridge Conference Please join us at the industry-wide dedi- cated foundations exhibition area for foundations-related engineers; contractors; and manufacturer, equipment and service providers at the Engineering Society of Western Pennsylvania’s (ESWP’s) 2018 International Bridge Conference, June 11-18 at Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, in National Harbor, Md. The conference is an internationally recognized annual event dedicated to bridge design and construction that is attended by owners, structural engineers, and engineering and construction service providers in the international bridge industry. Through DFI efforts, we hope to provide the following benefits to member companies via the dedicated exhibit area: • Inc r e a s ed pa r t i c ipa t ion f rom foundation-related companies in IBC. • Wider exposure and networking opportunities for foundation-related companies with structural engineers, contractors and owners. • Opportunities for foundations-related industry to showcase technical capabil- ities and resources that promote qual- ity, safety, sustainability and durability of bridge foundations while reducing project risk. • Information transfer for innovative technologies and challenging founda- tion projects that enhance bridge cost economy and constructability through special technical session. • Focused attention on foundation service providers. • Relationship building opportunity for structural and geotechnical practi- tioners to understand mutual goals and expectations. DFI encourages its members to attend the conference and to exhibit in the founda- tions area.
