DEEP FOUNDATIONS AND UNDERGROUND INFRASTRUCTURE EUROPE

Despite austerity and financial turmoil, many large scale engineering projects are still going ahead. In the current economic climate, can you afford not to know all about them?

Building on the success of our Deep Foundation and Underground Infrastructure titles globally, this European summit will bring together key regional and international stakeholders from the geo-technical, piling and foundations sector.

Construction IQ’s Deep Foundations and Underground Infrastructure Europe will be bringing together project owners, consultants, and contractors to learn about:

• Europe’s most exciting projects from north to south in in depth case studies and project updates by the people behind the builds themselves – from the Anholt Wind Farm to the Cityring Metro expansion – learn directly from the people involved in some of the most exciting foundation projects out there.

• Keep ahead of the curve on Eurocodes 7 and it’s impact on geotechnical engineering practitioners by listening to the technical committee members directly.

• Learn about innovations and new thinking in the fields of instrumentation and geohazards, directly from leading experts and in technical detail, to help you optimise your project delivery and take on more complex projects.
