The March 2024 DFDTA brought a variety of engineers, project owners, contractors, and other deep foundations professionals to the Lake Nona Wave Hotel in Orlando, FL, where the students heard a one-day seminar on Deep Foundation Integrity Testing and Wave Equation Analysis. Then, it participated in a workshop on High Strain Dynamic Foundation Testing, concluding with an optional proficiency test.

Subject matter experts including Ryan Allin, PE, Michael Morgano, PE, and Garland Likins, PE, M.ASCE, all from PDI and sister engineering firm, GRL Engineers, Inc., presented during the span of three days, on various topics pertinent to the testing and analysis.

PDCA commends the Spring 2024 DFDTA class for its participation in this rigorous, professional development program.
