It’s here – the International Foundations Congress and Equipment Expo (IFCEE)
2018. I’m very excited to be with Piling Canada once again for this amazing event
after having such a great experience at IFCEE 2015 in San Antonio. Whether
you’re a long-time reader or you picked this issue up for the first time during the
conference, please come visit myself, Lindsay Risto and Wally Lytwyn at the Piling
Canada booth, number 905. Pick up a Piling Canada mug and chat with us about
Canadian industry. I am very much looking forward to meeting everyone at the
show. With a packed schedule and sold-out exhibitor space, it will be a busy week
for everyone.
For more information on the conference program and schedule, visit page 11 in
this issue of Piling Canada or visit IFCEE2018.com. See you in Orlando!
On the cover of this issue, we’re celebrating a very important company to the
deep foundation construction industry. Equipment Corporation of America is cel-ebrating
100 years of business in 2018, and we are so glad to join the party. Read
about the company’s history and achievements on page 42, and be sure to check
out their booths at IFCEE: 405-409, 426-430, 505-509 and 526-530.
You’ll also read about an innovative piece of equipment from a newer Canadian
company, IFS Equipment Solutions. Former piling contractor Jason Linley of JD
Piling Ltd. wanted to create a piece of equipment that addressed the various chal-lenges
of the piling industry. Read about “The Game Changer” on page 37, and visit
IFS Equipment Solutions’ booths during the IFCEE conference, 244 and 246.
The main articles you’ll read centre around Great Canadian Projects – I asked
a number of deep foundation contractors across Canada to tell us about projects
they’ve recently completed that their companies were particularly proud of. Read
about the projects, taking place from coast to coast, starting on page 58.
For our new readers, if you’d like to receive Piling Canada in the mail or join the
quarterly e-newsletter list, please don’t hesitate to contact me. If your company
