The symposium provides a forum for ground-freezing practitioners across the world including engineers, contractors, academics, and scientists to meet and exchange ideas, theories, and project case histories. Artificial Ground Freezing (AGF) has grown in popularity and its application has expanded to projects including shafts, tunnels, tunnel cross passages, and large barrier walls with increased attention to soil-structure interaction in urban areas.
The technology itself has advanced tremendously in the last twenty years. The development of numeric modeling for heat transfer and structural analysis, more powerful and efficient refrigeration plants, and new concepts in instrumentation have changed the approach to ground-freezing projects. Yet, with these advancements, the basic theories and mechanics have not changed. A new generation of engineers, project managers, academics, and researchers has emerged and continues to advance the technology.
With these innovations and a new wave of professionals entering the industry, the key aim of the ISGF is to provide an opportunity for professionals from six continents to meet and exchange ideas, participate in the discussion, and share experiences on not only artificial ground freezing projects but the mechanics of frozen earth. The symposium will feature a peer-reviewed technical program on key topics impacting the industry, an exhibition to promote new technologies as well as social events to collaborate and explore and enjoy our iconic host city of London.
Keller North America provides a wide range of geotechnical engineering and construction services to improve soils in place and to both construct new and rehabilitate foundations. The techniques that will be discussed include Compaction and jet Grouting, Earth Retention, and Shoring, Vibro Compaction and replacement, Micropiles, Soil Mixing for Deep Basement Excavations, and Pile Driving. Within our range of services, a Ground Modification solution is generally available for the toughest subsurface conditions.
