PCA Ground Engineering Australia
Allan Herse is an Australian Chartered and Registered Professional Engineer who graduated from The Queensland University of Technology in the early 1990s. Much of his career has been in the field of reinforced soil structures and deep foundations both within Australia and through extensive overseas engagements. In 2009, Allan and two friends started PCA Ground Engineering to specifically focus on introducing micropiles into the mainstream Australian construction industry. The goal of PCA Ground Engineering was to actively target projects that were suitable for micropiles and provide clients with a value engineered alternative to traditional piling methods. Soon after establishing PCA Ground Engineering, Allan and his partners discovered the International Society for Micropiles and attended its first workshop in Washington, D.C. in 2010. He has since attended and presented at every workshop including a victory in the World Cup of Micropiles competition at the Vancouver workshop in 2017 as well as hosting the 2019 workshop in Australia. Allan is honoured to have become the chair of ISM and to be working with the ISM team to continue the excellent work and vision set by those who have come before him.
