The BGA is pleased to announce that their 4th Biennial Conference in 2025 will be on the subject of Earthworks. The conference will be held at the University of Birmingham on 16 and 17 September 2025.
The average annual spend on earthworks in the UK is believed to be in the order of £1bn-1.5bn. Much of the knowledge base in practice was developed decades ago and by people that have mostly long-since retired. Therefore, it is necessary to relearn the basis of what is still used for successful modern earthworks design and construction, and adapt it to the many new technologies, research results, construction plant and modern contract requirements. Following on from the BGA’s very successful Geo-resilience conference, Earthworks 2025 will focus primarily on the design and construction of new earthworks, where future performance in a changing climate is being explored and great benefits are being realised from flexible technical advances.
The Call for Abstracts will open in September 2024 and contributions on the following primary themes will be welcome:
