Second Australia PFSF, DFI Piling Conference Being Planned
Inaugural Piling, Ground Improvement Event Considered a Success
The Deep Foundations Institute (DFI) says the inaugural conference on Piling and Ground Improvement Technology for the Modern Building and Infrastructure Sector was a resounding success. The two-day international event in Melbourne, Australia, March 21-22, was hosted by the DFI and the Piling and Foundation Specialists Federation (PFSF). More than 200 attendees participated in technical presentations, poster presentations, exhibits, networking events and a conference banquet.
“There was a tremendous energy and buzz throughout the entire conference,” says Theresa Engler, executive director of DFI. “The interaction between the audience and the speakers was very dynamic and resulted in in-depth and valuable discussions on the design, construction and performance for piling and ground improvement techniques for building and infrastructure works.”
