Bentley’s annual infrastructure conference was again a tremendous success. Held in London in early November, the event provided infrastructure executives from around the world with valuable insights on business and technology drivers and how they are shaping the future of infrastructure delivery and investment returns. Among the many presentations and materials presented during this information-rich event were keynotes, Be Inspired Finalist presentations, and Advancement Insights—an annual reporting of innovative technology, best practices, and project strategies for advancing infrastructure design, delivery, and performance. For access to the keynotes, Be Inspired presentations and more, visit the virtual press kit page for the Year in Infrastructure 2014 Conference. Bentley is a sponsor of GeoPrac.net. [Source: Bentley.

Innovative Foundation System for London Office Building
This has to be one of the most complex geotechnical engineering problems I’ve heard of for a building, if not for any kind of project. For starters, beneath the proposed 10-story office building referred to as Cannon Place lies the Cannon Street Train Station built in 1868.

In section it looks quite like a 3-span bridge…without the abutments and stacked 10-stories tall! More after the break. (Images by New Civil Engineer) […]
