Bedford Technology has been featured in the 2014 – Quarter Two (Volume 11, No. 4) issue of PDCA’s PileDriver Magazine, the official publication of the Pile Driving Contractors Association.  As a participating member of the Pile Driving Contractors Association (PDCA), Bedford Technology was given the opportunity to provide more details and information about the plastic lumber industry and the origins of our company. The article was written by Lisa Kopochinski, who conducted interviews and gathered information and photos with the help of Bedford Technology.

Some of the many applications where Bedford Technology’s products have been used in the pile driving industry include dock and pier fender systems, bridge pier fender systems, camels, backing beams/wharf logs, navigation aids and markers, guide walls, retaining walls, locks, pedestrian bridges, wales, dolphins, clusters and piles. These end-products are manufactured using our multiple stage extrusion process, also known as Multi-X. It is used for large cross-sectional, long-length products like SeaPiles and SeaTimbers, for the marine marketplace.
