Overview
The BGA will be organising its popular, full-day event at One Great George Street in its natural place in the calendar this year, assuming Covid 19 is not overly prevalent.

All lectures are expected to be delivered live and the content will be broadcast live as well.
An interesting morning programme is being developed, themed around instrumentation and monitoring. The presentations vary from contractual issues, monitoring in the industry and the application of satellite technology to earthworks The programme then explores big projects within the industry such as hydro pumped storage and geological waste.
The AGM and prize giving will follow lunch.

Finally, the University of Southampton will update us on the Achilles Project and Dundee University on the numerical modelling research work.
