High Modulus Marine Geo-Structures Seminar 

In partnership with the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Structural Engineering Institute (SEI), and Structural Engineers Association of Texas (SEAOT), JD Fields is proud to bring this unique "no cost" engineering seminar to Houston.  We have gathered some of the industry's best material, contracting and design consulting professionals to discuss trending structural design and construction issues associated with today's port infrastructire needs.  This unique presentation format will cover topics such as high modulus combined wall systems, effects of high grade steel, design durability and a local project spotlight.  

In addition to 4 PDH's attendees will receive a comprehensive piling data packet, continental breakfast, beverages, and luch upon completion.  Don't miss this great opportunity to learn about trending port structures while networking with industry associates.  

ABOUT THE SPONSOR
JD Fields & Company Inc. is an international supplier of API line pipe and steel foundation systems.   As one of the premiere piling sources to North America, Fields has established one of the most comprehensive product lines through exclusive partnerships with both foreign and domestic mills.  This blend of geostructural material allows JDF to bring some of the most technical, innovative and cost effective steel marine solutions to the market.  But we are so much more than a supplier.  Our sales and technical professionals are some of the most experienced in the piling industry, and as a market leader, we are committed to advancing technology by serving as an information resource to our design and construction associates.  The JDF Engineering Seminar Series is just one of the many ways Fields continues to help lead the industry.
 
ABOUT THE SEMINAR
This no cost engineering seminar is possible through JD Fields and our local accrediting partner, American Society of Civil Engineers Structural Engineers Institute, and contributing partner, Structural Engineers Association of Texas.  With ASCE SEI professional development accreditation, this 4 hour program is sure to be a can’t miss for any industry professional.  We have gathered expert consultants from engineering, construction and manufacturing sectors to present on very niche marine structure applications.   High Modulus marine walls are very unique geostructures, and not every civil / structural engineering firm specializes in these designs.  Furthermore, there are even fewer contractors that possess heavy marine construction capabilities.  It is for these reasons we have decided to shed a light on those design and construction challenges.       
 
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Design and Construction of Steel Marine Geostructures is a 4 hour agenda designed to cover both general and specialized aspects of heavy marine foundations.  We have crafted the presentation content to bring value to a broad scope of professionals ranging from students and academics, to entry level and seasoned veterans.  From general civil and structural, to geotechnical applications, we hope to see all levels of industry members from port authorities, design firms, and construction, as well as students and professors.
