General Information
The growth of mega cities has been particularly dramatic across parts of Asia. The need for quality living space coupled with the increasing density of infrastructural development poses unprecedented challenges and opportunities for the geo-industry. The purpose of this international symposium is to provide a platform to showcase recent advances in ground technology and geo-information systems. Innovative technology and their effective applications are needed to:
- Propel productivity in the geo-industry;
- Respond to more complex technical challenges in the development of underground space;
- Support increasing social demand for sustainable and responsible development – green technology being one of the recent topical examples.
This symposium is jointly organized by Geotechnical Society of Singapore (GeoSS), National University of Singapore (NUS), and Tongji University. The main theme in this symposium is on geo-innovations applicable to all work processes from site investigation, design, construction, monitoring, testing, etc that can promote more creative exploitation of underground space/systems while improving safety, productivity, economy, and harmony with the natural environment.
