Programme
-
Chairman’s Welcome
-
Quaternary Geological Ground Models for the Reduction of Engineering Risk
- The significance of the Quaternary to Engineering Geology and Brownfield Site Assessment
- Conceptual Ground Models
- Inherent complexity in glaciated & periglaciated terrains
- Reduction of ground engineering risk
-
Brownfield Ground Risk Calculator: Ground Risk Prioritisation Tool for Brownfield Redevelopment Projects
- Background behind the need;
- Methodology used in the creation;
- Results; and
- Next steps and future benefits.
-
Unlocking Geology: how to get involved in better ground information
- 80% of Ground information is “lost” by not sharing data with a national repository;
- Dig-To-Share initiative aims to unlock all that data to make it available to UKPLC - to reduce risk, reduce costs, and enable better Ground Model production;
- BGS are developing software (Groundhog Desktop) to help draw Conceptual Site Models and Network Diagrams, specifically aimed at the contaminated land sector;
- Geospatial Commission investigating various methods of making data more visible and interconnected with the latest project looking into buried assets
-
Lunch and Networking
-
Developing a Detailed Monitoring Campaign based on Site Investigation Works
- Field design based on preliminary site investigation and customer input, a detailed monitoring campaign can be developed;
- On-site sampler installation;
- Retrieval and lab analysis; and
- Data analysis and reporting
-
Sewage Sludge and Landfill Stabilisation using an Alternative Binder
