The theme selected for this conference covered piling and ground improvement works associated with building and infrastructure developments, including foundation works and retention requirements for basements to provide an all-inclusive interest within the geotechnical profession nationally and internationally. By introducing a broad range of topics the Committee hoped that all disciplines as practiced around the globe in building and infrastructure works would provide interesting, educational and thought-provoking opportunities. Topics include: innovation in design methods; selection and justification of design and installation parameters; novel solutions to construction problems; testing of foundations; case studies; retention solutions for basements; ground improvement methods; and equipment developments and performance.
