GE Piling & Foundations 2022

This is an exciting time for the piling and foundations sector. Ground engineering works on High Speed 2 are well underway, with innovative approaches in pile design and installation being adopted across the scheme. In the buildings sector, trends towards taller, more complex structures demand new design approaches to ensure stability and increase loading capacity. Meanwhile, the offshore market continues to advance at a huge scale and pace, with major cutting-edge research projects driving the market forward.

It is also a challenging and critical time for the industry, as it grapples with skills and materials shortages. And, with more focus from the wider engineering and construction industries on net zero, the ground engineering sector is also seeking to play a bigger role in driving down embodied carbon on projects.
