The New Zealand Geotechnical Society in partnership with Engineering New Zealand, The Sustainability Society and MBIE will host a symposium to discuss the role of geotechnical engineers in climate change. The NZGS Climate Change Symposium was originally intended to take place on 30th September and have in-person attendance at regional hubs. Due to the impact of Covid-19 and lockdowns across the country, we have decided to move the symposium online, and instead of being run as a full day event, we will be splitting this up into 3 sessions of 2-3 hours on consecutive days. Each session will be 2pm – 4pm. The symposium will engage the geotechnical industry in New Zealand and start discussions on how our industry can reach…

You may recall that you were recently invited to share your views on the need for revisions to AS2159-2009 and AS3798-2007. The Piling and Foundations Specialist Federation are also seeking similar feedback. AGS has been approached by the PSFS to see if our members would like to provide a more detailed response. So if the AS2159 is near to your heart and you would like to have a greater say in its future, please take the opportunity to complete the PFSF’s survey at AS2159 Code Committee Survey Link.
