March 2024 ASCE-NH Section Lunch & Learn Webinar Summary
The 2024 ASCE-NH Section Lunch and Learn Webinar Series continued with its March Event . Per usual , it was extremely well attended via Zoom Video Communications , bringing over 70 attendees together ! The Webinar Series continues to provide an excellent opportunity for ASCE-NH Members ( and Non-Members ) to receive PDHs from ASCE-NH ’ s educational initiative ; make sure to remain on the lookout for these fantastic presentations throughout the year .
The March Webinar was led by Brendan Fitzpatrick , PE , who is the President of DuroTerra , LLC , a company that specializes in ductile iron piles for deep foundations . Throughout the presentation Mr . Fitzpatrick highlighted the challenges faced by engineers and contractors to provide solid foundation solutions on challenging sites . He demonstrated occasions where problem solving gets even more difficult when faced with certain construction scenarios – constrained sites , building additions , localized vibratory concerns , overhead clearance restrictions , and other factors that may limit common foundation solutions . In these challenging scenarios , ductile iron piles continually provide a practical solution . Throughout the Webinar , Brendan made sure to provide detailed information on the design , construction , and application of ductile pile applications ; this included many projects throughout New England .
Thank you to Brendan Fitzpatrick , for his time and effort to make the March Webinar exceptional ; learning how the ductile iron pile fits into a geotechnical engineer ’ s toolbox was impressive . Lastly , thank you to all of those in attendance ; as noted above , stay tuned for future Lunch and Learn Webinars , as we are targeting a few more during this calendar year .
