An Enhanced Geodetic Network and Geoid Model for Municipalities of Abu Dhabi Emirate

This paper discusses the optimal combination to ensure accurate georeferencing of all survey works in both position and height.

Optimising Geotechnical Engineering Models (GEMs)

This paper discusses methods of optimising GEMs, with special reference to soil conditions offshore India.

Foundation Design in Offshore Carbonate Sediments – Building on Knowledge to Address Future Challenges

This paper provides a brief geological perspective, and identifies broad trends and characteristics to be considered when defining the engineering properties materials.
