!DK INTRODUCTION
&FN.:_E The growth of mega cities has been particularly dramatic across parts of Asia. The need for quality living
@i IRmQ space coupled with the increasing density of infrastructural development poses unprecedented challenges
u5f9Jw} and opportunities for the geo-industry. The purpose of this international symposium is to provide a
b!5~7Ub.No platform to showcase recent advances in ground technology and geo-information systems. Innovative
,wAF:7' technology and their effective applications are needed to:
k_n ql8H (1) Propel productivity in the geo-industry;
RdR p.pb8 (2) Respond to more complex technical challenges in the development of underground space;
M:B=\&.O (3) Support increasing social demand for sustainable and responsible development – green technology
4u})+2W being one of the recent topical examples.
{[?(9u7R This symposium is jointly organized by Geotechnical Society of Singapore (GeoSS), National University of
zue~ce73J Singapore (NUS), and Tongji University. The main theme in this symposium is on geo-innovations
N64dO[op applicable to all work processes from site investigation, design, construction, monitoring, testing, etc that
x-&@wMqkc can promote more creative exploitation of underground space/systems while improving safety,
'kO!^6=4M productivity, economy, and harmony with the natural environment.
