Geoquest Webinars: Advancing Geotechnical and Bridge Engineering Through Knowledge Sharing and Industry Collaboration
Join us to connect with industry peers, expand your technical knowledge, and gain practical insights that can be applied directly to your projects.
Geoquest New Zealand is pleased to launch a dedicated series of industry training and networking webinars tailored specifically for New Zealand’s bridge, geotechnical, and civil infrastructure sectors.
Drawing on nearly 47 years of experience delivering engineered soil structure solutions in New Zealand, combined with global expertise in reinforced soil systems and soil-structure interaction, these webinars are designed to provide practical insights into the latest technologies, design methodologies, and construction best practices shaping our industry.
Topics
Geoquest webinars – our program will cover a broad range of current and relevant topics, including:
- Load-bearing bridge abutments and integrated bridge solutions
- Seismic design and performance of Mechanically Stabilised Earth (MSE) walls
- Innovative TechSpan® arch systems as a cost-effective alternative to short-span bridges
- Soil-structure interaction for critical infrastructure
- Construction optimisation and risk management in challenging ground conditions
- Emerging trends, case studies, and lessons learned from projects across New Zealand and internationally
Each webinar will be delivered live by experienced subject matter experts, providing attendees with direct access to specialist knowledge and practical project experience.
Sessions will conclude with an interactive Q&A, allowing participants to discuss technical challenges and explore real-world applications. Any questions that cannot be addressed during the live session will be responded to following the webinar and shared with attendees.
This webinar series reflects Geoquest New Zealand’s ongoing commitment to supporting professional development, industry collaboration, and the advancement of engineering excellence across New Zealand’s geotechnical, structural, and construction communities.
