FYI, Paul Nathanail The East London and Thames Gateway area is a major focus for regeneration, redevelopment and growth. Recent years have seen many major and a host of smaller projects interfacing with ground, all of which have contributed to a greater understanding of the behaviour and nature of the ground conditions. This seminar has been conceived to capture that advance in knowledge and understanding. It is also intended as a vehicle to disseminate opportunities in the challenges lying ahead on some of the major projects either ongoing or planned. Commencing with an overview of the geology of the area, the seminar will go on to examine advances in our understanding of the geological structure and material properties of the key formations. This will be followed by a series of case studies looking at the impact of the ground conditions on a range of significant projects with surface and subsurface engineering, both on land and over water. Generous time has been allowed for discussion within the sessions and during breaks in the proceedings. The speakers are drawn from organisations across the spectrum and include eminent ground professionals from client, contracting and consulting organisations. The programme and registration is detailed in the flyer attached.
