DFI and PFSF have made the difficult decision to postpone the upcoming Piling & Ground Improvement Conference amid growing global concern over the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).

Many supporting companies have limited travel, while others have sought to reduce the risk to their employees by not allowing them to attend any type of event where there are large crowds. Due to this precaution, they have seen a significant level of withdrawal of speakers, delegates, exhibitors, and sponsors.

The second PFSF/DFI Conference is intended to promote all aspects of deep foundations, retention and ground improvement works. Presentations will focus on design, construction and performance (or lack of) for building and infrastructure works.
