On May 17, AECOM hosted the Geotechnical Forum: Going Underground, where industry leaders and clients joined us in a discussion about common and emerging challenges and how we can elevate geotechnical capabilities by learning from unique experiences and through research.
AECOM Fellow John Endicott delivered the keynote overview on ground engineering in Singapore. He was presented by Patrick Chao, Director of Operations for Asia, and later joined an engaging panel discussion on the future of ground engineering, sustainability and emerging technologies in Singapore and Asia.
