We need to talk about groundwater

“We need to talk to you about ground water” is the title of conference in Manchester on November 6th organised by the Association of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Specialists (AGS). The need to consider the impact and effect of groundwater during all stages of the design and construction process is of paramount importance for almost all construction and building projects.

However, the impact of groundwater is often poorly understood. It can manifest in obvious ways as water inflow into excavations, leakage through retaining walls, and uplift buoyancy pressures, but also in less obvious ways such as consolidation settlements or loss of strength of the ground, or as the medium for transportation of contaminants or adverse chemical elements. We will be showcasing our latest iteration of our renowned Linx vibrating wire data logger. Now with Geosense Connect QR code integration and automatic barometric compensation.

Our team will be demoing its new updated features live on the stand. Speakers for the event include Andrew Bond, recognised as one of the leading experts dealing with Eurocodes for geotechnical design, Len Threadgold, a leading practitioner dealing with ground and groundwater investigations, and Stephen Thomas a recognised expert in groundwater control.

Geosense is the lead sponsor at this event on November 6. To find out more visit AGS
