Construction industry research organisation Ciria is planning to revise its “Engineering in Chalk (C574)” good practice guide to reflect industry experience and knowledge gained over the last 20 years.
The new Ciria guide outlines the background, purpose and process of developing a geotechnical baseline report.
Mott MacDonald’s Helen Pickard and Magda Wilczek answer questions regarding the new Ciria guidance on geographical information systems for infrastructure asset management (C803).
Ciria has given an update on its current geotechnical industry research, covering projects on geotechnical baseline reports, natural slopes, piling guides and tunnel management.
Bauer Technologies, a subsidiary of Bauer Group, will contribute towards an update of Ciria’s piling guides, a project headed by Coffey as lead author.
Gavin & Doherty Geosolutions principal engineer John O’Donovan encourages the industry to speak more freely about mistakes made and lessons learned.
