Oyster Roast Tradition Continues in South Carolina; Chapter Event Coverage Here


For the 19th consecutive year, the PDCA South Carolina Chapter is thanking the pile driving community throughout Charleston and the greater southeastern U.S. for helping make its annual Oyster Roast a successful opportunity to advocate and celebrate driven pile construction. On Friday evening, January 17th, more than 100 people from the industry, as well as their friends and families, descended on the yard at Palmetto Pile Driving, Inc. on the north side of the City of Charleston to network with colleagues and competitors, and reunite with friends and associates. 

Winter weather rarely impacts the popular social event held each January, and the 2025 event was no exception. It was expectedly a little chilly, but there was no wind or precipitation, making it enjoyable for most attendees. Two bonfires and an indoor shop provided perfect relief for those who needed a quick warm up throughout the night. If you were unable to attend this year, watch PDCA publications and your inbox for announcements of future events from the Chapter.

The annual Oyster Roast from the PDCA South Carolina Chapter is an ideal opportunity for the pile driving industry to gather in a family-friendly environment, inspired by the unique culture of the Lowcountry. In addition to numerous bushels of fresh oysters steamed on site by Jamie Westendorf of Charleston Outdoor Catering, other foods such as pulled pork, hot dogs, chili, desserts, and beverages to suit everyone's thirst were available to attendees. A large list of sponsors make this annual, destination event possible.
