Portuguese Geotechnical Society (SPG)
Support:
Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil (LNEC)
Order of Engineers (OE)
Framework and objectives:
In view of the investments planned for transport infrastructures and the importance of ensuring that the principles of the circular economy are applied to civil engineering works, this seminar aims to present geotechnical solutions for improving, reinforcing and rehabilitating transport infrastructures, namely roads, railways, airports and maritime-ports, as well as structures and infrastructures located in the areas of influence of the former, with a focus on innovation, sustainability and on-site chaos.
Target audience:
The seminar is aimed at all technicians involved in the planning, design, construction and rehabilitation of infrastructure for the various modes of transport (roads, railroads, airports, canals and ports), including building owners, constructors, designers, supervisors, researchers and engineering students.
