The United Arab Emirates and the Middle East region in general is experiencing construction boom as never before. The area is certainly one of the busiest markets for the piling industry.

 

With the growing market demand for taller buildings and faster and more cost effective construction, the piling companies look for establishing best practice in building quality foundations for high rise towers, underground structures and further challenging projects.

 

In order to keep up with the fast track of new project and to meet the client expectations, piling companies are looking for ways how to shorten the time period between building the foundations and the main construction package.

 

With the Jacob Fleming’s Piling and Foundations Forum we are going to look at both local and international insight the latest trends in deep foundations with special focus on piling. Geotechnical interpretation of the soil mechanics and its impact of piles design will be clarified on practical cases studies. Further on we will develop on the numerical prediction of pile settlement, static load testing and lateral loading of piles.

 

Join us at this prestigious event in what is today probably the busiest city on Earth when it comes to piling – Dubai – and get your questions answered. Meet and network with the market leaders in piling industry, geotechnical experts and foundation solution provider to start off a new success story at your company.
