EDPI 2024
Engineers Driven Pile Institute
october 23-24, 2024
Course Purpose:
Driven pile foundation content in current undergraduate curriculums can be somewhat limited. The Engineers Driven Pile Institute or EDPI, is geared toward engineers with 2-10 years of experience with the primary goal of providing these engineers with additional tools to recommend, design, specify and/or inspect driven pile foundations. The 2-day program offers 15 PDH's of in-depth instruction on current driven pile foundation design and construction practices.
Benefits to Attendees:
Upon completion of the EDPI seminar, participants will be able to:
• Select an appropriate driven pile type and section applicable to the subsurface conditions and loading requirements.
• Identify appropriate design methods for single piles and pile groups.
• Evaluate the suitability of pile driving equipment, installation aids, and procedures.
• Recognize key driven pile specification requirements and plan details.
• Explain driven pile inspection procedures and inspection records.
• Interpret static and dynamic load test results and associated load transfer information.
Who Should Attend?
Geotechnical, structural, or construction engineers, as well as other professionals involved in the design, construction, inspection, testing or specification of driven pile foundations.
How to Participate:
There are multiple ways to participate in the PDCA 2024 EDPI Course - as an attendee and/or as a sponsor. During the registration process, you will be able to indicate the opportunities that fit your and your company's needs.
