PDA and CAPWAP® Workshops
PDA and CAPWAP workshop

PDA and CAPWAP workshops are geared to users of Pile Driving Analyzers® and to those that already have some background in dynamic testing. These events, which have varying topics, are a wonderful opportunity for engineers involved with dynamic testing to exchange job stories, share experiences, ask questions, learn about new developments and enhance their foundation testing skills. (This workshop is occasionally offered by organizations other than PDI / GRL. CEU offerings may vary, please refer to each specific course announcement.)

Pile Dynamics, in cooperation with PDCA, may offer a Dynamic Measurement and Analysis Proficiency Test after this workshop. The workshop is a good preparation for the Proficiency Test and/or for the High Strain Dynamic Pile Testing Examination (HSDPT) offered by Foundation QA (FQA). Please contact Foundation QA for details about the FQA exam.

Wave Equation Workshops and Webinars

Wave Equation Workshop

Wave Equation Workshops and Webinars introduce the engineer to the GRLWEAP software for pile driving simulation and analysis. A portion of the event is devoted to the theory of wave equation. At their conclusion, participants should be able to gather the necessary information to prepare the input for a realistic dynamic pile analysis, and should be familiar with the programs analysis and output options (bearing graph, inspector's chart, driveability analysis). Examples and case studies cover several types of piles (uniform, non-uniform, steel, concrete). Workshops and/or Webinars are held several times a year.

Wave Equation Workshops and Webinars:
 
February 21 - 29 , 2012, Internet and Phone connection, : GRLWEAP Webinar Feb. 21, 22, 28 & 29. Sponsored by Pile Dynamics, Inc.. Dr. Frank Rausche will present. For more information contact Nicole Angie or Shannon Theodore at Registration@pile.com. Four 1.5 to 2 hours long sessions. (9am Eastern Time) Registration Form

"... it was one of the best seminars I had in regard to content and presentation."

Integrity Testing Workshops, Seminars and Webinars
Integrity Testing Workshop

PDI gears these educational events to contractors, engineers, project owners, project inspectors and specification writers with an interest in pulse echo testing with the Pile Integrity Tester and cross hole sonic logging with the Cross-Hole Analyzer. Attendees will become familiar with the theories in which these methods are based and with their practical applications. Topics include good quality data acquisition skills and data interpretation.

Seminars on Foundation Testing and Analysis

Seminar on Foundation Testing and Analysis

These seminars are geared toward the geotechnical engineer, construction engineer, owner, contractor or any other professional involved in the design, construction and specification of deep foundations. While emphasis is placed on how to use proven and practice-oriented methods, the presentations also include background material which proves valuable to teachers and researchers. The Seminar content is also valuable to Civil Engineering students.

Scheduled General Seminars:
 
March 5 , 2012, Tampa, Florida: Seminar on Deep Foundations Testing and Wave Equation Analysis. Sponsored by PDCA and Pile Dynamics, Inc.. Frank Rausche and Garland Likins will present. For more information visit http://www.piledrivers.org or contact Lori Schneider at lori@piledrivers.org. Download Workshop Flyer
 
October 17 , 2012, Cleveland, Ohio: Seminar on Deep Foundations Testing and Wave Equation Analysis. Sponsored by PDCA and Pile Dynamics, Inc.. Details forthcoming.

"...Chris, Shaun & I would like to thank you, Garland, Frank and the other staff for the excellent seminar/training course. Chris commented that the training was the best course that he could ever recall attending."
