The pipeline has rarely been busier. Sizewell C, HS2 and the development around its stations, new water and energy infrastructure, data centres, high-rise towers and a push to build more homes all start in the ground, and all of them are putting pressure on rigs, people and programmes.
At the same time, the questions facing the sector are changing. Can we reuse the foundations already in the ground, and how confident can we be about what is down there? How do we get low carbon materials past the barriers of standards, durability testing and slow strength gain? What can data, monitoring and AI really do for design, and how do we bring the next generation of engineers through?
Ground Engineering’s Piling & Foundations conference brings contractors, consultants, clients and researchers together to share what they have learned on real projects, and to work through what comes next.
