This week, the Dr. Sauer & Partners team in London will be heading to the British Tunnelling Society’s Annual Conference & Exhibition which will take place at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in Westminster. The event takes place on Tuesday 8th and Wednesday 9th October. This year we are excited to be sharing our exhibition stand with specialist drone manufacturers, Hovering Solutions.
The combination of Hovering’s unique technology with Dr. Sauer & Partners' knowledge and experience in the assessment and inspection of underground assets around the world, assets such as sewers, penstocks and mine shafts/workings can be safely surveyed with precision delivering detailed digital output. If you are visiting, please do make sure to stop by and say hello!
In addition to our stand presence, Senior Associates Bethan Haig and Sebastian Kumpfmueller will be joining the line-up of speakers during the conference proceedings. Bethan will be chairing session 4 on Tuesday afternoon from 4pm, which will discuss innovative construction, materials and lining technology. Sebastian’s presentation will take place on Wednesday at 9.55am entitled ‘Optimised ground support design of the Mineral Transport System (MTS) caverns for the mining of a low carbon, high value crop nutrition solution at the Woodsmith Mine’.
This year’s event is focussed on the future and shining the spotlight on innovative technologies, including the much misunderstood sector of AI in tunnelling, the effect of underground construction on the environment and how to minimise its impacts, alongside the usual mix of projects and new developments that are pushing the limits of engineering. Further information can be found on the event website.
We look forward to seeing you there!
