Synopsis:
On 4 November 2020, AGS(UK) held a Webinar entitled “Critical Links in Ground Engineering”. The subject of the November Webinar was Instrumentation and Monitoring (I&M), and it was the first event of its kind organised by AGS(UK).

This Webinar will essentially be a summary of the presentations given in November 2020 and updated as necessary.

The Webinar will, therefore:
• Describe the scope and types of I&M and identify the role of I&M as a critical link in Ground Engineering.
• Address the challenging issue of I&M data management.
• Outline the I&M situation in Australasia, based on a personal perspective on the challenges of I&M work in that region, and introduce a wider global dimension to the Webinar.
• Tackle the subject of international standards for geotechnical monitoring, tracing their development and content to the present day. Standards currently in preparation, as well as those anticipated in the future, will be identified, as will be Technical Committees that have been formed to address I&M.
• Identify the UK’s strategy to develop training for installation and monitoring technicians which dovetails in with the development of Vocational Qualifications and compliance with the Standards. Wider issues of education, training and qualifications will also receive attention.
• Provide details of the Aims of, and the Activities being undertaken by, the UK’s I&M Working Group.

We’re delighted to announce that the AGS Annual Conference will be back this year on Wednesday 22^nd September at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham.

This will be a full day event, and we have some great sponsorship opportunities available for both Members and non-Members of the AGS.
