The 2nd Annual
Great Canadian Projects Issue
ENTER YOUR PROJECT NOW
Piling Canada is officially accepting submissions for this year’s “Great
Canadian Projects” issue. If your firm completed an interesting project
in 2017 or 2018, Piling Canada encourages you to complete an entry
and submit it to Piling Canada no later than Dec. 3, 2018. All entries
are free, and companies can submit an unlimited number of projects
for consideration. The selected projects will be featured in the Quarter 1
2019 issue of Piling Canada.
Why submit?
After last year’s well received inaugural “Great Canadian Projects”
issue, the Piling Canada team decided to bring this issue back to
celebrate the innovative work being done here in Canada and by
Canadian teams. This issue acknowledges the ingenuity, hard work
and commitment that goes into each deep foundation project and
recognizes excellence in construction projects from coast to coast.
Through the “Great Canadian Projects” issue, Piling Canada
recognizes those companies that have integrated unique design
considerations, problem solving, value engineering, cost savings,
innovative applications and benefits to the community or owner, into
their projects.

project – domestically or internationally – between Jan. 1, 2017
