There’s never been a more exciting – and important – time to be in ground engineering, writes Fugro commercial director Mark Richardson.

Geotechnical engineers recently debated how the industry can use digital products and innovative solutions to improve design and construction and get better value.

Fugro recognises time as a key business driver in infrastructure development and wants to highlight the value of early intervention and time-saving solutions as part of its Geo-Risk Management Framework.

Fugro's Mario Markos Miletic on using imaging technology to monitor assets in the construction industry.

Network Rail's Manos Tsoukalas and Senceive's Simon Brightwell explore the impact of extreme weather on assets and the need for a resilient monitoring strategy.

Geotechnical Observations' Javier Marti and Daniele Fornelli talk about the "cost of getting it right" when it comes to instrumentation and monitoring data.

This innovation showcase explores how different technologies are changing and shaping project risk, deliverables and our knowledge of assets.

Fugro country director for the UK Laura Hughes talks about the impact of Covid-19 on industry investment, the importance of taking a full life cycle approach to ground risk management and the need for diversity in the ground engineering sector.

Last week’s Ground Engineering webinar, presented by Bentley and Microsoft, with panellists from Atkins and Geotechnical Engineering Ltd, delved into how digitalisation and cloud adoption are changing geotechnical information management.

Using almost three decades of work to reduce project delivery risk below the ground, geo-data specialist Fugro has created its Ground Risk Management Framework.
