Ground Engineering News and features on all aspects of geotechnics, engineering geology and geo-environmental engineering 
This free webinar, presented by Ground Engineering and Seequent, the Bentley Subsurface Company, showcases how 3D ground modelling can help solve complex geotechnical challenges, with a case study of the Yusufeli Dam project in Turkey.
This webinar explores how 3D ground modelling is changing geotechnical engineering practices, focusing on the Yusufeli Dam in Turkey, which is the world’s third-tallest arch dam.
The session showcases how advanced 3D modelling techniques were pivotal in overcoming complex geological challenges on the project.
The speakers include Seequent head of accounts for civil, environment & energy in EMEA Max Campbell, Seequent customer solutions specialist for geotechnical Sudur Roy, and iC consulenten Ziviltechniker geologist and associate partner Jonas Weil.
Key takeaways:
- Gain an understanding of the scale and significance of the Yusufeli Dam project and discover the innovative 3D techniques used to analyse and visualise the project’s subsurface conditions.
- Learn more about the digital 3D solution used, and see how these methods can enhance accuracy, efficiency and decision-making in your projects.
This webinar is relevant for geotechnical engineers, project owners or anyone interested in the latest advancements in ground modelling, offering valuable insights and practical knowledge
The webinar has now concluded and will be made available on demand soon.
