Marine Foundations
The committee has merged with DFI’s Driven Pile Committee and the industry-wide professionals formerly serving on this committee and who promote and support the design, construction and equipment supply for marine foundation projects such as wharfs, bridges, locks, utility line towers, sewer outfalls, tunnels and other related structures are now pursuing their initiatives through collaboration with the existing driven pile committee members.
