The British Geotechnical Association (BGA) with support from the Engineering Group of the Geological Society (EGGS) will be hosting a major two-day international conference on Engineering in Chalk on 17th and 18th September 2018 at Imperial College in London.
The last major conference on Chalk was held almost 30 years ago in 1989 in Brighton. Since that time, considerable work has been undertaken internationally through research and in many major projects in Chalk, advancing our understanding of its origin, nature and engineering behavior. The 2018 conference therefore seeks to bring together the knowledge and experience gained in the last three decades by presenting research and case histories to provide a definitive up to date perspective on a wide range of Technical Themes relating to engineering in Chalk.
It is planned that the conference will include a technical exhibition, a conference and technical tours.
The conference organizing committee can be contacted at conference@chalk2018.org.
Information on sponsorship and commercial opportunities can be obtained from sponsorship@chalk2018.org.

The conference will be divided into a series of technical themes to address as many different aspects as possible of the geotechnical engineering, engineering geological and hydrogeological aspects of Chalk.
The conference will include a series of authoritative keynote lectures on important aspects of engineering in Chalk.
Chalk 2018 is a major international conference expected to draw wide industry interest, and will create exciting opportunities for sponsors and exhibitors. If you think this could be the platform for you to lift your profile and engage with the conference participants, get in touch and we can develop a sponsorship package that suits you.
