Learn From the Experts: MAGNUM® Piering Education Seminars
At MAGNUM Piering, we believe that great foundations start with great understanding. That’s why we offer Education Seminars-available both in person and virtually-designed to share our deep expertise in helical pile and steel push pier design, application, and installation. For more than four decades, MAGNUM has been engineering and manufacturing foundation solutions that perform in the real world. Our seminars are an extension of that same commitment: clear, practical education delivered by people who design, test, and support these systems every day. Whether you’re part of an engineering or architectural firm, a contractor group, or a local professional organization, we’ll tailor a seminar that delivers real value to your team.
Seminar Topics Include:
- The history of deep foundation systems
- Design principles and best practices
- Applications across demanding soil and site conditions
- Advantages-and real-world challenges
- Installation methods and jobsite safety
- Case histories from actual projects
Our presentations can range from foundational overviews to advanced technical deep dives, depending on your audience and goals. No matter the level, one thing remains constant: the benefits of learning together from experienced professionals.
Why Attend a MAGNUM Education Seminar?
1. Real-Time Feedback That Matters
There’s no substitute for being able to ask questions as they arise. In a live seminar setting, clarification happens instantly, discussions evolve naturally, and learning sticks. Instead of searching for answers later, your team can engage directly with experts in the moment-leading to better understanding, stronger retention, and more confident application in the field. Seminars also encourage collaboration. Group discussions, shared problem-solving, and open dialogue help build alignment across teams while reinforcing core concepts of piering and foundation repair.
2. Meaningful Networking
Education seminars bring together professionals facing similar challenges. They create space to exchange ideas, compare experiences, and learn how others are approaching complex foundation problems. Whether you’re strengthening internal team connections or meeting new peers in the industry, these conversations often lead to insights that extend far beyond the seminar itself. Foundation work is complex-and it’s better when we learn from one another.
3. Direct Access to Industry Expertise
Many of our seminars are led by Dr. Howard Perko, Director of Engineering at MAGNUM® Piering, one of the most respected authorities in the field of piering and pile foundations. Having direct access to that level of expertise-without filters or delays-is invaluable. Questions get real answers, backed by engineering, research, and field experience.
