Discovering how to effectively carry out accurate geotechnical investigations

Overview:

Geotechnical investigations are fundamental to the construction project cycle in order to investigate the geological conditions and provide recommendations and design criteria for construction. Many firms in the UAE are not accurately completing geotechnical investigations leading to unforeseen challenges, increased costs and delayed projects. With many big projects being announced in the UAE, it is fundamental for companies to understand how to effectively carry out a geotechnical site investigation.

This exclusive workshop allows you to explore the challenges of developing an accurate geotechnical site investigation and discover exclusive techniques and methodologies to deliver an accurate geotechnical report.

Post-Conference Workshop – Wednesday, 18 November 2015

Analysing how to overcome challenges of deep foundations for high rise buildings within the UAE

Overview:

The UAE has seen a drastic increase in the rate of construction of high-rise buildings. For example, Dubai is home to the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa. With many high rise projects being planned in the UAE is it essential that designers and contractors understand how to effectively develop robust deep foundations to support high-rise structures. This interactive workshop allows you to explore the challenges that arise when developing deep foundations and provides an exclusive insight into innovative techniques and methodologies to develop sufficient deep foundations whilst at the same time reducing cost and risk. 08:00 Start of workshop registration with welcome refreshments 08:50 Opening remarks from workshop leader 09:00 Workshop 10:30 Morning refreshments and networking 10:00 Workshop 12:30 Lunch and networking
