🌟 #DFIMondayRewind 🌟 In 2013, DFI proudly expanded its international reach once again with the establishment of DFI of India, our dedicated Regional Chapter in India!🌏 This milestone reinforced DFI’s commitment to fostering regional collaboration, advancing deep foundation practices and supporting knowledge exchange across the global geotechnical community. Dr. K.S. Rama Krishna served as the first chair of DFI of India, playing a vital role in guiding the chapter’s early initiatives. 📸 Join us as we honor this important step in our global journey during DFI’s 50th anniversary celebration through our #DFIThroughTheDecades series! #DFI50Years #DeepFoundations #DFIIndia #GlobalChapters #EngineeringLeadership #DFIThroughTheDecades

🌍 EFFC and DFI are developing a next-generation online Carbon Calculator that leverages up-to-date, location-specific emission factor databases. This upgrade will provide more accurate, accessible and user-friendly carbon assessments tailored to geotechnical works enabling our industry to better measure and reduce its carbon footprint. 👉 To launch by fall 2026, we need your support. Become a sponsor and lead the way in sustainable geotechnical engineering! https://lnkd.in/ent2EzQF #Sustainability #CarbonCalculator #GeotechnicalEngineering #DeepFoundations #Innovation EFFC - European Federation of Foundation Contractors

Performance-based design, why aren’t we leveraging it to its full potential? This is the big question posed by Shawna Munn, Aecon Group Inc.; Dave Wiley, Green Infrastructure Partners; and Katie Castelo, Isherwood Geostructural Engineers. They explore the role of Karl Terzaghi and Ralph Peck’s observational method in solving issues related to subsurface engineering and the associated construction contract risks. 📖 Read all about it in the July/August issue of #DeepFoundations magazine - https://lnkd.in/evCx_bHK #construction #civilengineering #infrastructure #DFI #widf
