New member growth at PDCA continues through the second quarter of 2024. While some of the names are familiar and have previous PDCA experience, others are first-timers to participate in collective advocacy, exclusively for the driven pile. The organization extends a big welcome to the following new members:
Contractors
- Power Engineering Construction Co., Alameda, CA
- The Walsh Group, Chicago, IL
Associates
- Foster Stone International of Houston, TX
- Lally Pipe & Tube in Taylor Mill, KY
- Stealth Pipe and Steel in Montreal, Quebec
- West Coast Spiral Pipe of Rialto, CA
eNgineering affiliate
- VMS/Allnamics USA of Montgomery, TX
Government Employees
- Chris Nickel, PE from Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD)
- Kylie Beadle, PE from Louisiana DOTD
Important reminder: Deep foundations stakeholders working as Government Employees or Academic Professionals are encouraged to join PDCA, now at no cost, following 2023 action from the Board of Directors removing annual dues obligations for those individuals. Mr. Nickel and Ms. Beadle, both from the LA-DOTD, join colleague Jesse Rauser from the agency, as some of the newest Government Employee members.
Otherwise, we are at the mid-point in 2024. If you are not a present PDCA member but have been reading PDCA publications, attending PDCA events, or developing friendships with other pile driving professionals who are PDCA members, or simply by knowing that 'a driven pile...is a tested pile...,' then maybe its time for you to join? Membership dues are prorated, so if you were to join now, you would pay half-price for your membership which would take you until the end of the year. Added bonus, you would secure your place in the 2025 PDCA Membership Directory which will be printed and distributed industry-wide, early next year.
To join PDCA, you can visit by clicking: JOIN PDCA and then select the category into which your organization fits. PDCA's new, cloud-based, member management system will guide your through the enrollment process which is completely online, all the way through credit card payment processing. Dues payments by check are also acceptable. You are encouraged to contact PDCA by phone at (904) 215-4771 at your convenience.
