Member Testimonials
“SDC provides a forum to discuss critical and strategic issues in the design and construction industry that can have an impact on the safety and cost of building our nation’s infrastructure and commerce. Issues are discussed openly without being influenced by any third parties that may have a vested interest in the outcome of the tasks undertaken by the group. It is great to network with people who are dedicated to the improvements in our industry, and who can make things happen, not just talk about it. I feel very privileged to be a member of SDC!”
Narendra Gosain, Ph.D., P.E., Senior Principal and Executive Director, Structural Diagnostics Services Group, Walter P Moore & Associates
“The SDC has allowed Baker Concrete Construction, Inc., the opportunity to come together with suppliers, manufacturers, architects, engineers, owners, and other concrete contractors to discuss innovative technologies and best practices for our industry. In addition, we are excited to be involved with a consortium to conduct corroborative research and development for our industry. It is a privilege and an honor to be a part of this visionary organization.”
Dennis Phillips, VP of Operations, Baker Concrete Construction, Inc.
“The SDC allows contractors to tap into a cross section of the industry; into people with the education and vision to move the industry forward, which helps me be successful in my own business. It’s become the industry engine, driving our agenda, instead of ‘fixing’ issues once they’ve become problems.”
Peter Emmons, Owner/President, Structural Group
