Geotechnical engineers and other deep foundations professionals throughout the Southeast descended to the Low Country on St. Paddy's Day to hear a revered line-up of presenters who provided attendees with five different programs and 5.5 PDH credits. The Driven Pile Technical Seminar is a biennial event developed by the PDCA South Carolina Chapter. Event Chairman Greg Canivan (S&ME, Inc.) opened the program to the more than 100 attendees who filled the assembly room at The Citadel - Holliday Alumni Center on March 17th in Charleston, SC.
