ANCOLD 2024 Conference: Never the Same Dam Twice
The ANCOLD 2024 Conference, held in Adelaide, brought together industry professionals in dam engineering, safety, and sustainability. With 624 delegates in attendance, the event provided a collaborative platform for experts to exchange knowledge on the latest developments in dam infrastructure, safety protocols, and environmental considerations. Key discussions focused on advancing dam engineering practices in response to climate change, improving risk-informed decision-making, and exploring new innovations in dam safety.
As an exhibitor at ANCOLD 2024, Insitutek demonstrated its expertise in in-situ testing solutions critical to the construction and geotechnical engineering sectors. Insitutek showcased an array of advanced technologies designed to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of soil testing and site evaluation, essential for ensuring the safety and stability of dam projects.
Through these cutting-edge solutions, Insitutek continues to play a pivotal role in the advancement of dam construction and geotechnical engineering, supporting the industry in its commitment to safety, reliability, and sustainability.
Building on the success of ANCOLD 2024, Insitutek is excited to continue with upcoming engagements, especially the joint NZSOLD/ANCOLD Conference in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2025.
We have found the PANDA to be an invaluable acquisition to our company, using it on projects ranging from Remote Community Housing in Central Australia to a NASA Rocket Launch Facility in Arnhem Land, NT.
We find the Insitutek team extremely helpful and their knowledge of the equipment and its capabilities is a great resource for our staff.
I must confess that this equipment is fantastic compared to the old technology.
