EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR UPDATE

Looking Beyond the COVID-19 Crisis . . 9

As web, database and geospatial technologies have matured, the use of project
information management systems (PIMS) is becoming conceivable for small or less costly
foundation projects. Using examples that range in cost from $15,000 to $40,000, the
author demonstrates how PIMS technologies work and can be applied by deep
foundations leadership to improve efficiency at construction sites and product quality.

Developing greater operational efficiency and strategizing as a player in the deep
foundations industry requires well-organized project information and data
conversion for analysis. Learn how an open-source data transfer standard known
as DIGGS that was developed with geoprofessionals in mind can enhance data
transfer and storage. The standardized information exchange language of DIGGS
enhances data transfer and storage by making data export easier and by allowing
data import to multiple software applications.
