Register of Ground Engineering Professionals (RoGEP)
The Geological Society (GSL), the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), the Institution of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IoM3), Engineers Ireland (EI) and the Institution of Geologists of Ireland (IGI) worked together to raise the competence of ground engineering professionals and bring more value to this part of the construction industry.
Led by the British Geotechnical Association (BGA), and on behalf of Ground Forum, these institutions sponsored the development of the Register of Ground Engineering Professionals (RoGEP).
The register helps clients and other professionals find people who are suitably qualified and competent in ground engineering, whether they work as consultants, contractors, in public bodies or in academia.
What is ground engineering?
Registrants may work across a range of disciplines or projects that come under the broad heading of ground engineering. Ground Forum defines this as: “an understanding of geological structures, materials and processes, combined with the systematic application of investigative, scientific and engineering techniques to produce practical solutions to ground related issues for the benefit of society.”
What is expected of registrants?
RoGEP registrants must:
- understand other disciplines and interests that go beyond ground engineering but connect with it
- be able to show how ground engineering interacts with other technical professions
- follow the Code of Conduct of their host institution in all their professional work.
Who can apply?
To apply, you must be chartered with one of the following:
- the Geological Society (GSL)
- the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE)
- the Institution of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IoM3)
- Engineers Ireland (EI)
