Ground Forum

The Ground Forum is the ‘umbrella’ body for the ground engineering sector in the UK. Ground Forum brings together five Learned Societies and four Trade Associations which collectively represent most construction-related ground engineering disciplines and gives the industry a single voice within the construction industry.

The BGA is a member of the Ground Forum.

The Ground Forum was formed in 1993 and exists to:

  • Provide an effective point of communication between Member Organisations
  • Enhance the profile of the ground engineering industry
  • Raise youth awareness of the satisfaction and rewards of a career in ground engineering
  • Promote good practice in all ground related disciplines
  • Enhance training through CPD
  • Promote the value of good ground engineering and geotechnics
  • Lobby the government and other construction organisations on issues of concern for the ground engineering sector
