Piling Canada is officially accepting submissions

firm completed an interesting project in 2020, Piling
Canada encourages you to complete an entry form

All entries are free, and companies can submit an unlimited
number of projects for consideration. The selected projects
will be featured in Issue 2 2021 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.
