ECSMGE 24 Conference, Portugal. As contractors, our industry has to deal with the reality of what happens when a theoretical design meets the ground. The ISSMGE (International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering) is keen to explore the challenges of the practical issues of construction compared to the academic understanding in its upcoming ECSMGE conference 26-30 August. To provide the practical understanding to this event, the EFFC has a number of our experts giving presentations on the state of the art of geotechnical practice. EFFC President Serge Borel shall be participating in a forum discussion on the Challenges of Underground Space in the Cities of the Future. A topic of increasing importance as planners seek to build down, rather than using undeveloped land that is needed for agriculture, leisure space or other uses. Karsten Beckhaus shall be speaking on the EFFC-DFI Tremie Guide and what the latest research is telling us about the behaviour of concrete in the ground. Ayelen Ottaviani of our Sustainability WG shall be presenting on 10 years of the Carbon Calculator and the future of the tool. Overall the Conference has six themes in its State of the Art lectures: ·      New Development on Structural Design ·      Geohazards ·      Risk Analysis and Safety Evaluation ·      Environment, Water and Energy ·      Future City World Vision There shall also be geotechnical site visits on Friday 30th August and an extensive range of workshops including Sustainable Practices in Environmental Geotechnics and one on the Second Generation of Eurocode 7. The EFFC is supporting the conference and we hope contractors are able to participate in order to educate the wider industry on our issues. The conference promises to inform contractors on what is driving developments in what we are required to do and what to expect in the future. Registration is open please visit https://lnkd.in/eG_zYZdH to sign up or find out more. 

🏗️ Discovering Ground Truths: The Fundamentals of Geotechnical Investigation Understanding the ground beneath our feet is essential for success in the always changing construction industry. Importance of Geotechnical Investigation: Geotechnical investigations involve more than just surface inspection; it's about finding underlying threats and strengthening foundations. Without a thorough examination, the consequences can be serious: 🚧 Increased risk of structural failure and subsidence. 🌊 Susceptibility to soil liquefaction and foundation settlement. 💰 Expensive costs for cleanup and reinforcement. 🌳 Environmental hazards such soil contamination and habitat disruption. 💼 Our Expertise: Pioneering Solutions through Research.

'#Sustainable #Geotechnics for Transport Infrastructure' was the title of a recent workshop held in Portugal, hosted by the IGS's TC-Stabilization and the ISSMGE's TC-Transportation Geotechnics (TC202). The workshop addressed fundamental issues such as sustainable materials and construction processes for #transportation #infrastructure, as well as geotechnical challenges and innovations aimed at enhancing resilience and adaptability of transport assets, infrastructure, routes, networks, and systems. Presentations on the environmental advantages of using #geosynthetics in transport projects were shared by notable IGS experts Erol Tutumluer, Jorge Zornberg and Xuecheng Bian.

As part of Technics’ strategy for sustainable growth, acquiring Earth Environmental and Geotechnical Ltd (EEG) boosts Technics’ resources by 50%. With the additional offices in Stockport, Redcar, Bath, and Reading, this acquisition will allow Technics to enhance its Ground Engineering team and offer multiple consultancy services efficiently nationwide. EEG will contribute additional value to the project lifecycle of infrastructure and development projects.  “We are excited by the opportunity this acquisition provides to our existing team and the staff in EEG,” said John MacIntyre, Technics Managing Director. “When we first started our discussions with Adam Czarnecki, we could see so many synergies in our values, our professional approach to projects, and the value we offer to our clients. We are delighted to finalise this acquisition and look forward to demonstrating the additional value this brings to many of our stakeholders.”  EEG was established in 2013 by Adam and Elizabeth Czarnecki, who have led the company since its inception. Throughout the years, they have experienced continuous growth, establishing a solid reputation in the industry and creating strong relationships with clients across numerous sectors nationwide. Adam Czarnecki will continue in a Business Development role, and the Regional Directors Simon Leat, John Grace, and Paul Finnimore will remain integral to the company's long-term growth strategy. EEG offers a variety of services across multiple sectors, with a primary focus on construction. Key areas of expertise include ground engineering, engineering geology, contaminated land, ecology, flood risk assessments, mining studies, and drainage design.  With a skilled and knowledgeable team, EEG is committed to providing a professional, adaptable, and cost-effective service.  Adam Czarnecki added, “We are delighted to be joining the Technics Group. Our relationship started several years ago when we worked together on many large geotechnical projects. The takeover allows us to offer our mutual clients a wide range of site investigation, surveying, and construction services across a number of regional offices across the UK”. https://lnkd.in/dchbSwu #geotechnical #team #2025 #AcquisitionAnnouncement #BusinessGrowth #GeotechnicalEngineering #EnvironmentalConsulting #CorporateExpansion #SustainableDevelopment

I have completed the "Slope Engineering" course on Coursera from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology! Learned about slope failure, its types, landslide hazards, and their analysis and mitigation . Excited to apply this expertise in geotechnical engineering #SlopeEngineering #HKUST #Coursera #GeotechnicalExcellence #ContinuousLearning

We believe that all construction projects that begin in the best way are the ones that endure and transcend the passage of time and catastrophes. That is why we offer our technical studies service, which focuses on the comprehensive evaluation of the feasibility of projects, ensuring that each phase is supported by accurate data and rigorous analysis, such as: Geotechnical Analysis Environmental Impact Studies Economic Feasibility Infrastructure Analysis  Hydrological and Hydraulic Studies Social Impact Assessment. #Intecsa #TechnicalStudies #CivilEngineering #CivilEngineering #Viability #CivilEngineering
