Sikko Doornbos:
‘Further strengthen the European branch of DFI’
“The European branch of the Deep Foundation Institute, a worldwide, but originally a typical American organisation, starts to gradually acquire its own 'face' in Europe. It is important that the Europeans within the DFI also do things together on all fronts, including being socially involved, networking, making trainee posts available, developing study programmes and exchanging knowledge. And we have good contacts with organisations such as the NVAF and the European EFFC.” Read more
