📣 Webinar Event by IOM3 Ground Engineering Subgroup – "State-of-the-Art in Natural Terrain Hazard Assessment and Engineering"

🗓️ Date: 18 June 2025
🕛 Time: 12:00 – 1:00 PM (GMT+0 Time Zone)
📍 Online via Zoom
🎤 Speaker: Dr. Carlos Lam, Senior Geotechnical Engineer at the Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO), Civil Engineering and Development Department, Hong Kong SAR Government

We are excited to promote the upcoming IOM3 Ground Engineering Subgroup lunch webinar. This event is a great opportunity to showcase Hong Kong’s geotechnical expertise on a global platform, while also strengthening collaboration between IOM3 HK and IOM3 UK.

🌟 Event Highlights
🔹 Latest advancements in natural terrain hazard assessment and engineering
🔹 Selection of hillside catchments for study
🔹 Numerical modelling of landslide debris
🔹 Mitigation strategies and design of mitigation measures
🔹 Landslip investigations
🔹 Innovative technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM)

🌧️ Why it matters:
Natural terrain covers over 60% of Hong Kong’s land area. As urban expansion continues, development is steadily encroaching upon the steep natural hillsides that border the urban areas. The close proximity of these slopes to urban areas, combined with seasonal torrential rainfall, inevitably increases the risk of landslide-related casualties.
Since its establishment in 1977, the Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO) has been conducting studies and implementing measures to reduce landslide risk in Hong Kong.

📌 Don’t miss this chance to gain insights from Hong Kong’s leading experts!
