Speakers

John Corradetti

Case Foundation

Project Manager with Case FoundationMr. Corradetti has been at Case Foundation since 2015 with a role as project manager in their caisson division. Key projects in which he has overseen drilled shaft construction are the O’Hare Airport Consolidated Rental Car Facility; I-29 over the Floyd River in Sioux City, Iowa; and I-40 over the White River near Little Rock, Arkansas, as well as a host of building projects in downtown Chicago. Key responsibilities include bidding and managing deep foundation projects in the Midwest with emphasis on top-of-rock, rock-socketed, and large-diameter caissons. Prior to Case Foundation, Mr. Corradetti worked on large scale projects that involved large-diameter drilled shafts in roles as a general contractor including the I-15 north corridor design-build in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the reconstruction of the BNSF lift bridge in Burlington, Iowa. He completed his undergraduate work at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2007), obtained an MS degree in Construction Engineering and Management at Illinois Institute of Technology (2015), and recently finished his M.B.A. degree at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Justin Lewis

Hayward Baker

Division Manager for the Structural Support and Earth Retention System group
Mr. Lewis is a graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with B.S. (2007) and M.S. (2008) degrees in Civil and Environmental Engineering with a focus on geotechnical engineering. He has worked at Hayward Baker for more than nine years after joining upon completion of his degrees in 2008. He has worked with a wide variety of technologies that Hayward Baker has to offer with particular experience in the fields of jet grouting, earth retention, micropiles, and driven piles. Mr. Lewis has previously held roles as field engineer, project engineer, and project manager. He currently serves as division manager for the Structural Support and Earth Retention System group in the Midwest with responsibilities for managing and supporting a talented team bidding, designing, and managing earth retention and deep foundation projects. Particular areas of expertise and/or experience include jet grouting (structural/bottom seal), sheet piling, soldier beams and lagging, secant/tangent piles, internal bracing, tiebacks, driven piles, and micropiles.
