Introduction

This is an on-line event, and is part of the BGA Geotechnologist Network.

Synopsis

The topic of this webinar is to discuss Brian Sharkey's philosophy of treating his site operation as a laboratory, where, following the use of a new, or existing technology in new ground conditions; the soil and structural displacements, water ingress, soil stresses and driving forces are all carefully measured and recorded. This enables regular reviews to be conducted and performance assessed.

This process enables continuous improvement of the techniques applied, so to establish if any new techniques used provide additional safety or increased added value.
