DFI I HPW-DFI Helical Piles-Tiebacks-Anchors ® Tradeshow and Educational Seminar Hamilton County Fairgrounds in Cincinnati, OH Tuesday and Wednesday June 4-5, 2019 DFI, in partnership with ADSC, is hosting the 12 annual SuperPile Conference. SuperPile ’19 is taking place May 1-3 at the Sheraton Seattle Hotel in Seattle, Wash. During this three-day event, more than 40 presentations will highlight best practices for project safety from design through construction along with topics relevant to the Pacific Northwest, and will include presentations on the latest developments in: th • Augered Cast-in-Place and Drilled Displacement Piles • Drilled Shafts • Driven Piles • Ground Improvement (related to piling) • Helical Piles and Tiebacks • Marine Foundations • Micropiles • Seismic and Lateral Loads • Testing and Evaluation Innovations and Advancements in Pile Design and Installation • Corrosion of Buried Structures • Designing and Constructing Safely and Effectively in Urban Environments • Instrumentation, Load Testing, Monitoring • Designing for Resiliency Under Extreme or Unexpected Loading Conditions (inclement weather, tsunami, flooding, seismic, liquefaction, lateral spreading) • Contractual Practices • Sensitivity During Construction in Various Types of Aquatic Environments • Trends in Design and Construction Methods for Highway Infrastructure Projects • Foundation Optimization Through Risk Management (geotechnical, contractual, communication risks) DEEP FOUNDATIONS • SEPT/OCT 2018 • 39 Helical Pile World (HPW) and DFI are teaming up to develop an event that showcases the helical pile and tieback industry’s dedication to producing high-quality foundation solutions that are safe, reliable and cost effective for a variety of foundation and utility application challenges. The event will include a technical education program, an equipment exposition, and live installation demonstrations that highlight the products, resources and expertise used to design, install and test helical pile and anchor elements for structural support and earth retention applications. If you are interested in getting involved in this event by volunteering to work on the program committee or committing to exhibit, contact Bill Bonekemper at (513) 386-8158 or [email protected].
