About the Conference

Theme: “Elevating Geotechnical Excellence: Novel Practices and Innovative Solutions”.

The 2023 Policy Address highlights a range of major development projects in Hong Kong, such as the Northern Metropolis, the Kau Yi Chau Artificial Islands, the Three Railways and Three Major Roads proposals together with other railway, green mass transit and road projects. These development projects, combined with other ongoing projects, present significant prospects for the construction industry. They also pose challenges such as timely completion of sheer number of projects for increasing the housing supply and enhancing resilience of the city in the face of climate change. Geotechnical engineers, plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth delivery and sustainability of these development projects, and it is essential to continuously explore innovative ideas to push the boundaries of excellence. The time is nigh for us to elevate the professionalism of geotechnical engineers into new heights through fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing. This seminar serves as a platform for practitioners and academics to share novel practices and innovation solutions with an aim to elevating geotechnical excellence.
