Unlike other large-scale events that feature ‘geo’ content, Geotechnica has always been entirely focussed on the UK geotechnical and geoenvironmental industry and in particular the ground investigation sector.
This year Geotechnica focusses on driving the industry forward and promoting new methods, innovation and new technologies. The event will provide a platform for collaboration, geotechnical community engagement, collective learning, networking and discussion. The trade show will have over 50 exhibitors ready to discuss their services and products and will be a welcome opportunity to start meeting and greeting old and new friends and colleagues.
Along with the UK’s leading geotechnical exhibition and trade show, there will be a technical conference covering important aspects such as the new Eurocode, new technologies and innovations and new publications such as the ICE Ground Investigation Handbook. Geotechnica and the Geotechnica Conference is free to attend and all stakeholders will benefit from attending as well as Early Career Geopractitioners.
Geotechnica 2023 will feature a major geotechnical exhibition and trade show and a host of technical talks and discussions focussing on key issues for the UK geotechnical industry including:
If you would like to be part of these discussions and hear what the future of the UK geotechnical industry is going to look like, then register to visit Geotechnica for free here.
