JES Educates Local Design Professionals about Foundation Systems

Nov. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Virginia Beach, Va. (November 14, 2011) –  Over 200 local engineers, architects, city building officials and design professionals recently attended JES Foundation Repair’s series of seminars held in Northern Virginia, Richmond and Norfolk.  This series of free seminars, held during the last week in October, educated participants about commercial and residential structural support technologies, applications, designs, installation and terminology while allowing them to also earn professional development hours for their respective professions.  

Steve Stinnette, Associate Vice President with Cannon Design Group in Arlington, Virginia said, “This was one of the most professional and informative seminars I’ve ever attended.  I now have a better understanding of  JES’ deep foundation systems and services that I can share with my clients and colleagues from a design perspective.”

“We were very excited with the number of design professionals in the community that were interested in learning more about deep foundation systems,” said Jesse Waltz, President and owner of JES Foundation Repair.   “As experts at diagnosing foundation issues and developing solutions, we enjoy sharing our knowledge and providing continuing education opportunities.”

JES offers continuing education courses throughout the year to engineers, architects, real estate agents, property managers and home inspectors on the causes and symptoms of foundation settlement, methods of rehabilitation for existing foundations and methods for stabilization for new construction foundations.  All courses are free of charge and more information can be found at www.JESwork.com or by contacting Michelle McLees at 804.425.9914.
