IoM3 — 11th International Ground Freezing Symposium

Spread across three days, the symposium provides a forum for ground freezing practitioners across the world including engineers, contractors, academics, and scientists to meet and exchange ideas, theories, and project case histories. Since the last conference held in Maine in 2006, Artificial Ground Freezing (AGF) has grown in popularity and its application has expanded to projects including shafts, tunnels including cross passages and large barrier walls with increased attention to soil-structure interaction in urban areas.

The Conference will be particularly relevant to engineers involved in the construction of foundations, shafts and tunnels which require ground temporary support and water control measures during construction using AGF. Such projects require specialized site investigation and frozen soil testing measures to enable the appropriate ground engineering designs to be carried out for successful construction by contractors.
