Why Insitutek Academy?

Insitutek are unapologetically different. We help you to think differently and enable you to challenge the status quo with innovative solutions for assessing and improving insitu conditions. The Insitutek Academy is a manifestation of this.

We challenge current practice, persistently advocating to advance the field, driving change from a client perspective and building awareness. Insitutek are an active visible industry participant who will help you stay current with the latest advancements.

Our leading edge technology and methods enable clients to solve problems that they couldn’t solve before or to do it more efficiency.

We have specifically designed our website as a rich resource centre with videos, research papers and technical standards.

We have always recognised that a big part of our role in the civil construction industry is education. This is why we actively participate in local industry research collaborations and knowledge sharing at conferences, workshops and field days. It is always why the Insitutek Academy was born.

On 2 August 2024, geomechanics professionals gathered in Canberra for the Australian Geomechanics Society ACT Insitu Testing Practical Workshop. The event focused on practical demonstrations of key insitu testing methods, including Cone Penetration Testing (CPT), Static Plate Load Test (PLT), Dynamic Probing Super Heavy (DPSH), Light Weight [โ€ฆ]

Check out the highlights from the Australian Geomechanics Society NSW Insitu Testing Practical Workshop โ€“ 7 May 2024!

The AGS NSW Insitu Testing Practical Workshop was a hands-on event where attendees tried various insitu testing techniques to evaluate material conditions, such as static Plate Load Test (PLT), Light Weight Deflectometers (LWDs), Trailer [โ€ฆ]

The Australian Geomechanic Society Field Testing / Insitu Testing Short Course at Patterson River Golf Club was a resounding success, bringing together a diverse group of geomechanics professionals for an immersive day of learning and networking. Participants had the unique opportunity to engage in hands-on demonstrations of critical insitu testing methods, including the Static Plate [โ€ฆ]

Don’t miss our upcoming workshop where you’ll learn everything you need to know about using this technology in bulk earthworks projects.Thisย practicalย hands-onย workshopย aimsย to help geomechanics practitioners become confident in using theย Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD)ย as an alternative method for verification of earthworks compaction, usingย worked examplesย andย case studies.

A bridge approach transition zone is the area where a road or railway track transitions from the rigid structure of a bridge to the flexible embankment or road pavement, aiming to minimize abrupt changes in stiffness and potential issues like differential settlement.

The 5th International Conference on Transportation Geotechnics (ICTG), held in Sydney, marked a milestone in the geotechnical and transportation engineering community. Organized by the UTS Transport Research Centre (UTS-TRC), this prestigious event brought together over 450 delegates from 30 countries, making it a truly global gathering for experts in the field.

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.
