In conjunction with the Engineering General Practitioners (EGP) group, this event will be a continuation of our monthly discussions and networking focused on the Invercargill design, construction and infrastructure industry. This event aims to encourage growth and co-operation between disciplines and roles including planners, surveyors, architects, and engineers. This will open doorways between industry roles to increase the connections and contacts to use for the correct projects.
These monthly meetings act as casual networking opportunities, held in a local coffee shop to the east of the ICC building on Esk Street, where the topics discussed or presented are proposed to be case studies, personal experiences, or found challenges that the group can add to or provide other insight. This process will keep ideas and designs current, solve common challenges, and avoid mistakes through the experiences of others.
This month's ice-breaker topic will discuss a ground conditions topic along the engineering path. "When is 300 kPa not 300 kPa", which will look at case studies of unique soils as well as expoling what "good ground" is in accordance with NZS 3604. The meeting schedule includes arrival with time to network and grab any food or drink at 10:30am before presentations and discussions start around 10:45am. Planned discussions and forum will be active for up to 30 minutes with other topics open to anyone at all times. This event is expected to be around an hour long.
We encourage emailing or getting in contact with any topics or interests you may like to discuss or present to the group at a monthly catch-up.
