Fleming Gulf's Piling and Foundations Forum 2008

The area is certainly one of the busiest markets for the piling industry.

With the growing market demand for taller buildings and faster and more cost effective construction, the piling companies look for establishing best practice in building quality foundations for high rise structures, marine works, underground structures and further challenging projects.

Martina Kuklisova, Production Manager at Fleming Gulf says:

"Trying hard to catch up with the dynamic market the local and international piling companies are increasing their capabilities by extending their equipment and human capital, nevertheless there is still shortage of both in the region."

In order to keep up with the fast track of new project and to meet the client expectations, construction companies are looking for ways how to shorten the time period between building the foundations and the main construction package.

The general focus of the forum will be looking at ways how piling experts tackle the specific ground conditions in the region - cohesionless, calcareous sands that pose challenges for foundations especially for high rise structures.

Another point for discussion will be developed around the innovations and latest trends in piling - looking for greener alternatives as well as cost- and time-effective solutions for piling experts to help them meet the demand of the fast track market.

Finally our expert speakers will also deal with testing and monitoring the behaviour of the pile embedded does require expertise based on experience and best practice.

"A problem shared is a problem solved."
