Pile Dynamics Partners with NASA on Foundations Project
NASA Researchers Help Water-proof Temperature Sensors
Pile Dynamics Inc. (PDI) recently teamed up with NASA’s Glenn Research Center engineers in Cleveland to fix a moisture problem with their concrete temperature sensors. The thermal sensors, equipped with NASA’s water resistant technology, will be placed in 16 150 feet-deep drilled shafts that will give the Eastbound George V. Voinovich Bridge in downtown Cleveland a foundation.
“It was great having the expertise and technology available from NASA help us with product development,” says Dean Cotton, senior engineer at PDI. “Pile Dynamics has added a number of employees just to manufacture our new product and we are happy with the great acceptance it gained in the industry.”
