Environmental<br />
Committee Chairman<br />
Joe Savarese, F & S Supply<br />
By Joe Savarese<br />
Taking on the leadership of the PDCA Environmental<br />
Committee is a great honor for me.<br />
For 25 years I have been involved with construction<br />
equipment. The last 10 years have been in the deep foundation<br />
end of the industry – first with International Construction<br />
Equipment, then American <strong>Pile</strong>driving Equipment, then my<br />
own company F.S. Supply working with Junttan pile rigs. I personally<br />
have a background in environmental science and forestry.<br />
Environmental issues have always had sway on everything<br />
we do in construction, and how and when and what we do.<br />
It is imperative that we don’t lose the valuable progress<br />
that the Committee has made to this point under the leadership<br />
of John Linscott. We must complete the Noise and Vibration<br />
Database project. This information could affect the very future<br />
of the driven pile and would prove to be a great tool in deep<br />
foundation engineering. It would be a great contribution by,<br />
and credit to, the members of this organization. There is also an<br />
informational brochure that this committee has developed and<br />
that brochure needs to be promoted and distributed.<br />
We must also address the other important issues that relate<br />
to what we do here.<br />
Noise abatement, environmentally safe fuels and lubricants,<br />
and impacts on marine life are just a few of the many outstanding<br />
issues that impact our business every day and need to be<br />
addressed.<br />
I thank John and the members of this committee for the<br />
groundwork they have provided and I look forward to building<br />
on that groundwork through the direction of the activities of<br />
such a key committee. ◆<br />
