AGS QLD are pleased to present their annual full day Symposium Event for 2019 – This year’s event is aimed at providing delegates with details of current design methods and recent projects with emphasis on how geotechnical risk and resilience were addressed.
About the Symposium
Both risk and resilience in the geotechnical
engineering are closely associated. Geotechnical
engineers deal with risk on a day to day basis and
whilst it cannot be avoided there are different ways
to approach both the assessment and management
of risk. Resilience on the other hand, is the ability
to anticipate, prepare for, withstand, adapt to and
rapidly recover from changing conditions. This may
be in response such things as climate change, natural
disasters or changing conditions on site.
The presenters at the 2019 AGS QLD Symposium – including Clients, Regulators, Consultants, Suppliers and Contractors – will share their knowledge and experience in assessing and managing risks and incorporating resilience into their projects, methods and design.
