The Western Regional Group is pleased to welcome Steve Thorpe of the BGS who will explore the topic of boreholes at the British Geological Survey and cover their use in mapping and 3D geological modelling. Steve will also discuss the technological changes in the way borehole information is now recorded and will present on a few of his achievements in trying to encourage and share borehole data with the construction and civil engineering industry, in order to help reduce costs, time savings and reduce health and safety risk in the process of collecting ground information.
This is an online only event via Zoom. All are welcome. Please click on the Book Now button above to access the Zoom link.
The online room opens at 18:15 for an 18:30 start.
