c[Q8 INTRODUCTION
x|3f$
=b The growth of mega cities has been particularly dramatic across parts of Asia. The need for quality living
R d#V,[d space coupled with the increasing density of infrastructural development poses unprecedented challenges
9 'tOF and opportunities for the geo-industry. The purpose of this international symposium is to provide a
#*r u* platform to showcase recent advances in ground technology and geo-information systems. Innovative
L&*/ s&>b technology and their effective applications are needed to:
%UV'HcO/gp (1) Propel productivity in the geo-industry;
e[ `u: (2) Respond to more complex technical challenges in the development of underground space;
^
hoz<Ns (3) Support increasing social demand for sustainable and responsible development – green technology
oz54IO being one of the recent topical examples.
8~q%H1[I\N This symposium is jointly organized by Geotechnical Society of Singapore (GeoSS), National University of
ZMFV iE;8 Singapore (NUS), and Tongji University. The main theme in this symposium is on geo-innovations
pyvZ[R 9 applicable to all work processes from site investigation, design, construction, monitoring, testing, etc that
>'\cNM~nf can promote more creative exploitation of underground space/systems while improving safety,
_@-D/g productivity, economy, and harmony with the natural environment.
