The 3rd Annual
Great Canadian Projects Issue
Piling Canada is officially accepting submissions for
this year’s “Great Canadian Projects” issue. If your
firm completed an interesting project in 2018 or
2019, Piling Canada encourages you to complete
an entry and submit it to Piling Canada no later than Jan.
24, 2020. 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 2020 issue of
Piling Canada.
Why submit?
After 2018’s well received inaugural “Great Canadian Projects”
issue, the Piling Canada team decided to bring this issue back
as an annual edition to celebrate the innovative work being
done here in Canada and by Canadian companies. 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.
