The Piledrivers & Divers Local 2520 started their apprenticeship program in 1972. The training school is co-located with the union hall on East 8th Avenue in Anchorage. The school trains piledrivers – the heavy and highway construction division of the carpenters. Work as a piledriver can best be described as heavy construction involving specific skills in the areas of piledriving, rough carpentry, cutting and welding. Piledrivers typically work on bridges, platforms, highways, piers, underwater pipelines and other large construction projects.
