Engineering Group

Aims of the Engineering Group

Since 1964 the Engineering Group has provided the main focus in the UK for geologists concerned with practice and study of geology in construction, mining, planning, disposal of waste, assessment of geohazards and environmental matters. The Group promotes cooperation with engineering geologists within Europe and is the UK National Group of the International Association of Engineering Geology (IAEG). Strong links are maintained with the professional associations for geotechnical engineers, highway engineers, the Society's regional groups and others with an interest in engineering geology.

The Engineering Group represents the Geological Society on the Hazards Forum.The training and professional development of engineering geologists, pre- and post- Charter, is actively supported by means of regular meetings, conferences, working parties, training guides, scientific publications and technical handbooks.

Through the Geotechnical Training Co-ordination Commmittee (GTCC - a joint initiative of the British Geological Survey, Association of Geotechnical Specialists and the Engineering Group) approprate training for engineering geologists (and others) is coordinated and promoted.
