PILE DRIVING INSPECTION COURSE
PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP

PDCA is pleased to present this pre-conference short course
for those who are involved in driven pile foundation systems
design, installation, inspection and testing.
Pile driving is a self-assuring method of deep foundations
construction; the process itself makes each-and-every pile a

and quality control (QA/QC), as well as basic foundation design
principles, installation methods and equipment, important
inspection aspects, testing procedures and development and
application of pile driving criteria.
The course also includes presentations on the installation and
QA/QC of steel sheet piling and on the Durability of steel
piling structures
