On Friday, January 28^th, Foundation Supportworks by Thrasher hosted a 5-hour engineering seminar presented by Jeff Kortan, Director of Engineering for Foundation Supportworks and Don Deardorff, Senior Application Engineer for Foundation Supportworks.  In October 2010, Foundation Supportworks by Thrasher officially became the commercial projects division of Thrasher Basement Systems, Inc.  Thrasher has been in residential and commercial retrofit piering projects since 1985 and new construction helical pile installations since 2000. 

The 5-hour seminar gave local engineers an opportunity to obtain 5 Professional Development Hours and expand their knowledge about typical applications, design considerations, capacity calculations, and material selection for Foundation Supportworks™, helical foundation systems, helical soil nails, and push pier systems. 

Feedback from the seminar has been very positive.  Lawrence Wickstom of Wickstrom PE MBA and Associates stated, The seminar was great. I learned the fundamentals of the business. This company impressed me as being technically excellent.  FSI by Thrasher was pleased with the turnout at this event and look forward to providing additional seminars in the future.
