Piling and Ground Conference 2022

We are looking forward to catching up in person in November so here are three opportunities to do just that! Insitutek will be exhibiting at all these knowledge sharing events so we look forward to seeing you there.

Piling & Ground Improvement Conference 2022 – 16 – 18 Nov 2022 (Sydney)

The conference, co hosted by the Piling and Foundation Specialists Federation (PFSF) and Deep Foundations Institute (DFI), will cover all aspects of deep foundations, retention and ground improvement works.

Sessions in the program will cover design, testing, construction, ground improvement, risk and project delivery practices, challenging project case studies, and developments and innovations.

Ground supported working platforms are critical for heavy equipment stability, and modern piling equipment is becoming heavier with higher centres of gravity to cater for the ever increasing market for deeper foundations.

“One third of accidents in the piling industry result from defects in the working platform.” – Terry Bolsher Chairman of the UK Federation of Piling Specialists

The experience in Australia is not dissimilar to the UK. Our insitu testing and clay soil stabilisation methods help reduce these risks. Come and see us at Booth 135.

National Workshop on Transportation Geomechanics and Ground Improvement – 24 Nov 2022 – Sydney

The workshop is hosted by the Transport Research Centre (TRC), University of Technology Sydney and co-hosted by the Australian Geomechanics Society, and the technical committees TC202: Transportation Geotechnics and TC211: Ground Improvement of ISSMGE.

The presentations will focus on innovative R&D outcomes, practices, technological applications and case studies to allow the audience to learn about new tools and techniques relevant to their work.

A broad range of topics in the program will be presented covering emerging themes and advances in the areas of Transport Geotechnics and Ground Improvement, including:

  • Challenges and Innovations in Earthworks Controls for Transport Infrastructure
  • Soft Ground Improvement
  • Tunnelling in Soft Ground
  • Waste Materials in Road and Rail Substructure
  • Port Reclamation
  • AI and Machine Learning Applications
  • Use of Geosynthetics
  • Soft Soil Instability and Mud Pumping under Cyclic Loads
  • Environmental Impact Assessment, among others

AGS Queensland Annual Symposium – 29 Nov 2022 – Brisbane

Recent advance in geotechnical engineering, engineering geology, and testing is the theme for the Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS) Queensland Chapter Symposium. The program includes:

  • Recent advances in bored piles installation monitoring
  • A new Automated DMT tool
  • Drone applications in engineering geology
  • Rapid compaction techniques
  • Innovative re-use of recycled material for infrastructure projects
  • Geotechnical model testing for field applications
  • Sustainable Engineering Design Scale-Up Facility for future dam engineering
  • Recent approach to risk management in geotechnical engineering

I would hate to go back to doing the Plate Load Test using the old method using dial gauges. It would be so time consuming, not to mention manually recording and then processing all the results.

Compaction is one of the most important processes in pavement construction and, done well, leads to long-lasting pavement performance and reduced maintenance costs.

Our clients use Intelligent Compaction to create uniform efficient quantified compaction. Our Intelligent Compaction system provides:

We are delighted to officially announce our Ground Improvement portfolio.

For the last three years, we have been working on extending our offer from, just, in situ testing to testing and improving in situ conditions.

With our ground improvement portfolio, our focus is delivering more sustainable outcomes. Here is what we offer:

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 […]
