The biggest cost variable on a project is likely to be what is under the ground. As pressure for land leads to development on increasingly challenging sites, how will the geotechnical industry respond?
 
With the 2012 Games, Crossrail and other major infrastructure works providing a steady stream of lucrative piling and foundation contracts, the question Is not ‘Will there be enough work?’ but rather ‘How will the industry cope with demand?’ But despite the buoyant market, competition remains stiff. Meeting increasing client demands requires continual innovation and a pioneering attitude – does your company stand out?
 
Piling and Foundations 2008 will demonstrate cutting-edge processes to ensure the industry delivers the next phase of exciting contracts on time and budget. Held in conjunction with the GE Awards, the biggest, bravest and most ambitious projects will be on show.

  • Evaluate sustainable measures available to the industry: how can we reduce the environmental impact of piling and foundation works?
  • Get a comprehensive overview of geothermal piling options: latest research, recent installations and potential loading challenges

  • Delve into the depths of basement construction: overcoming challenging working conditions while minimising noise and disturbance
