The British Geotechnical Association (BGA) is the principal association for geotechnical engineers in the UK.
The BGA considers that ‘Geotechnologist’ is a description of any skilled, knowledgeable and practical individual, with experience working in the Ground Engineering Industry, but not necessarily professionally qualified. This could apply to individuals carrying out activities including, but not limited to, site investigation, laboratory and field testing, field monitoring, geospatial mapping, dewatering, piling, grouting, numerical modelling, drafters of drawings etc. The field is wide open, and we do not pretend to know all the possibilities, which is why we want to encourage involvement from all who consider themselves a Geotechnologist, or who indeed aspire to be.
Accordingly, the BGA has established a Geotechnologist Network with the purpose of bringing such skilled and practical individuals together as a community within the BGA. We will stage events for geotechnologists such as talks, for and often by geotechnologists, and networking events. These will take place at times and places that are convenient for geotechnologists to attend. If you would like to receive information about these events you can register your using the form below.
