First Indian Symposium on Offshore Geotechnics

The School of Infrastructure of Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar (IIT-BBS) and Institute of Engineering and Ocean Technology (IEOT), ONGC are jointly organising the symposium on Offshore Geotechnics in India. The first symposium, ISOG 2019 will be held in Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar, India on 5-6 December, 2019 under the aegis of technical committee, TC 209 of International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) and Indian Geotechnical Society (IGS), Bhubaneswar Chapter.

The symposium will focus on recent advances in offshore geotechnology recognizing the role of geotechnical engineering in the field of renewable energy and oil and gas industries.

The symposium will cover various aspects pertaining to offshore geotechnics, such as offshore site investigation, soil characterization, geotechnics related to offshore renewable energy converters, offshore foundations and anchoring systems, pipelines, and deep sea explorations. The objectives of ISOG 2019 is to create a broad platform where educationist, researchers, practicing engineers, entrepreneurs could promote policy changes that support the development of design guideline, awareness and interaction. The symposium also aims at promoting international cooperation and industry-academia interaction. The eminent international and Indian experts from institutions and industries will deliver expert lectures. The symposium will be beneficial to academicians, researchers, professionals from various public and private sector offshore industries, universities and research organisations.
