Massimo receiving his award

With 20 years of experience providing consulting, research and development, and design services to the geotechnical industry, Director of R&D Massimo Mucci played a vital role in the creation of DFI’s Information Management Systems (IMS) Committee, serving as its first chair from 2018-2020. Massimo delivered the keynote lecture at the DFI/EFFC International Conference on Deep Foundations and Ground Improvement in Rome in 2018 and Chicago in 2019.

“This award is well deserved for Massimo. The IMS Committee would not have been possible without his encouragement and initiative. His leadership in this important aspect of digitalizing data and using data management, analytics, business intelligence, and geospatial tools in deep foundation projects helped DFI be a leader in this relatively new and effective way to manage successful projects. We look forward to what you continue to do for this growing aspect of the industry. Congratulations!”
