Effective Disaster Prevention and Repair using the Press-In Piling Method
Melinda Chan
In this presentation, we will explore the innovative Press-In Piling Method, a non-invasive, low-footprint solution for piling that is effective in disaster prevention and remediation. Through real-life case studies from various vulnerable environments across the globe, we will showcase the practical applications and successes of this method in enhancing infrastructure resilience. The session will highlight how Press-In Piling contributes to building stronger, more sustainable communities while minimizing environmental impact.
