The presentation will first introduce the TDP technology, which involves advancing steel pipe piles equipped with a conical tip into the ground through downward crowd and torque. The presentation will also discuss design nuances that differ from design of conventional piles, and will cover advantages and disadvantages associated with the TDP technology to help educate attendees on the types of site conditions best suited for TDPs. Lastly, Mr. Shields will present the findings from several projects in southern California where TDPs were used, including the results of pile load testing programs.
