Ground Improvement Techniques and Related Foundation Economics for Private, Industrial and Transportation Structures

   

It's not a pile, it's a pile alternative!



*Conveniently located at Newark Penn Station with access to midtown Manhattan
 

From wick drains and dynamic compaction, to vibro stone columns and controlled modulus columns (CMCs), ground improvement is a proven, cost-effective alternative to pile systems in soft, compressible soils. As a leader in geotechnical contracting, Menard has provided an array of value-engineered, design-build foundation solutions to owners and their agents. Whether you are General Contractor, Architect, Geotech, Structural or Civil Engineer, the topics and local case histories presented in this half-day program will demonstrate the total system and schedule savings these techniques offer over conventional deep foundations.   

Don't miss this “no cost” opportunity to network with industry professionals, earn continuing education credit, and learn geotechnical best practices in ground improvement technology.
