Fugro is set to showcase its innovative early site screening solutions at the International Geotechnical Innovation
Conference (IGIC) in Dubai from October 30-31 . These Geo-data solutions allow developers to mitigate subsurface
uncertainties that often lead to delays and cost overruns.

Dr Rod Eddies, Solution Director for Land Site Characterisation at Fugro, will deliver a keynote address on the first
day, leading a session on ‘Shifting the Geo-Risk Management Paradigm.’ He will highlight the critical role of
innovative geotechnical engineering and ground improvement solutions in tackling the unique soil conditions of the
Middle East, resulting in better decision-making and enhanced project outcomes.

On the second day, Demir Korhan, Senior Geotechnical Engineer at Fugro, will present the latest advancements in
tunnel boring machines (TBMs) and ground stabilisation techniques, focusing on how these innovations contribute to
resilient infrastructure capable of withstanding the challenges of climate change.

The complexities of major infrastructure developments are frequently underestimated, with subsurface conditions
playing a critical role in project success.

According to KPMG’s 2023 Global Construction Survey, 50 per cent of construction projects exceed their scheduled
timelines, and 37 per cent surpass budget forecasts, often due to an inadequate understanding of ground conditions.

Fugro’s solutions are designed to help clients overcome these challenges by providing accurate Geo-data during the
initial planning and design phases, enabling informed decision-making and reducing project risks. -TradeArabia
