2023 Project of the Year Award Winners Span U.S.; Alaska to the Everglades

All smiles for the piling pros at Forefront Deep Foundations who were at their respective Southern California jobsites when news broke that they won a Project of the Year Award!

The PDCA Project of the Year Award celebrates the very best in deep foundation construction each year and is the premier recognition from the Pile Driving Contractors Association. The 2023 program attracted the most entries in history, signifying that the eventual winners were able to overcome, in most cases, stiff challenges from competing submissions. This year, eight member companies learned their entries in the categories of Land, Marine, Earth Retention, and Associate/Engineering won the top endorsement from the Judge's Panel, a collection of some of the industry's most revered pile driving professionals.

PDCA thanks the dozens of entrants in the 2023 program and encourages all members to participate in the program next year. Your project that finishes by December 31st, qualifies for the 2024 program; be sure to watch your inbox for details about next year's competition. You make the pile driving industry better when you broadcast your work that exemplifies unique design, problem solving, value engineering, cost savings, driven pile application, and/or end-user benefits.

Meantime, a resounding 'CONGRATULATIONS!' to all the 2023 winners who were revealed in Issue #4 PileDriver magazine. Click the link to read more about each project. If you're looking for the CliffsNotes version, you can see the following display of graphics highlighting each winning project!
