Burlington, Mass., Feb. 13, 2024 — Haley & Aldrich experts will have a prominent role at Geo-Congress 2024, which will take place Feb. 25-28 in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Haley & Aldrich scientists and engineers will discuss artificial intelligence (AI), stormwater management, offshore wind development, and other topics of pressing concern to the geotechnical engineering community. “We have a lot to say on issues that many in the profession are currently grappling with — such as how to harness evolving AI tools while ensuring accuracy, and how to refurbish aging waterfronts so they can support heavy offshore wind components,” says Damian Siebert, Haley & Aldrich’s geotechnical engineering service leader. “Events like this allow us to collectively move our knowledge forward and hone our ability to deliver for clients.”
Geo-Congress 2024, titled “Bridging Government, Industry, and Academia for Resilient Mega-Communities,” provides an opportunity for the Geo-Institute’s more than 13,000 members to share knowledge related to improving the environment, mitigating natural hazards, and constructing economically engineered facilities.
Haley & Aldrich’s participation is detailed below.
