Thursday 14th May 2015 at 6.00pm BTS Young Members / BGA Early Career Group meeting
The BGA are pleased to invite you to the 4th Early Career Members event of 2014. The event will present an overview of the status
of the civil engineering industry and the dynamics within the fragmented construction sector. The concept of the role and value
of the engineering profession being at the core of society will be scrutinised, an aspect which is often not recognised by the
wider community. The discussion will proceed to focus on the challenges faced by the engineering fraternity and engagement of
geotechnical engineers at the forefront of project conception and delivery. Looking beyond the significance of a strong academic
background and pursuit for technical excellence, the discussion will aim to unravel the historical hurdles with integration of the
geotechnical discipline in engineering consultancy. The thought-provoking notion of our failures to communicate project risk and to demonstrate value will be put forward with a view of generating a constructive and exciting discussion on the topic.
Please note: this event is now fully booked. Please contact us if you wish to go on the waiting list.
