PROPOSAL

SEMINAR TALK G&P GEOTECHNICS SDN BHD

Organized by
Universiti Sains Malaysia
American Society of Civil Engineers
Student Chapter
(USM ASCE Student Chapter)

Date : 8th March 2017 (Wednesday)

Time : 2.00 p.m. to 5.00 p.m.
Venue : Bilik Seminar 1, School of Civil Engineering
 1.0 INTRODUCTION

This seminar aims to provide better understanding on geotechnical engineering

which utilises the discipline of rock and soil mechanics to investigate subsurface
conditions. Geotechnical engineering evaluations also include a review of the geologic
conditions. The results from investigations are used to design and build foundations,
earth structures and pavement sub-grades.
A speaker from G&P Geotechnics Sdn Bhd is invited to give a talk on
geotechnical engineering for students. G&P Geotechnics Sdn Bhd is an independent
engineering consulting company specialising in Geotechnical and Geo-Environmental
and is providing consultancy services in Malaysia and Asia. The company provides
innovative problem solving, offering safe, cost effective and practical engineering
solutions of the highest standards. The company consists of a group of highly qualified
and experienced Geotechnical Engineers and Engineering Geologists.
This seminar will bring new perspectives and provide an insight into the real
working environment of the industry for students. Students can enhance their knowledge
on geotechnical engineering by learning from the experts. Third and fourth year students
from School of Civil Engineering are encouraged to join this seminar to help them in
understanding geotechnical engineering to its core and applying it in geotechnical design
project.
