Field Demonstrations
Conference attendees are encouraged to participate in the demonstrations to see what really goes on in the field – real world experience! Attendees can expect to view a variety of equipment used in the construction of a range of retaining and shoring systems. Amongst the planned activities, there will be:
1. Demonstration of Soldier Pile/Tieback wall construction including tieback anchor drilling, grouting and stressing/testing.
2. Demonstration of soil nailing including (possibly) drilling, shotcreting and pull-out testing.
3. Modular block wall construction demonstration.
Additional activities are currently being planned and will be on the web site and in the final conference program. The demonstrations will be conducted offsite and buses will be provided to transport attendees to and from the site. Hard hats and eye protection might be required for some of the demonstrations and will be provided at the site.
