Dear Colleague,

The UAE’s construction sector is booming!As the UAE is set to spend over $300 billion on infrastructure development by 2030, projects ranging from high-rises to metros are under construction in the region with several more projects at the design stages.

With such a high number of buildings and infrastructure being developed and constructed, it is fundamental for the UAE to put in place the best piling and foundation structures to support these projects and the most efficient methodologies to create robust underground infrastructure. This must be achieved whilst considering the geotechnical conditions specifically faced in the UAE.

In light of this, IQPC is proud to present the Underground Infrastructure & Deep Foundations UAE Summit which stems from the popular Underground Infrastructure & Deep Foundations series. This exclusive gathering will be held from 7-10 December 2014 with a special Dewatering Workshop on 7 December and an exclusive High-Rise Foundations Workshop on 10 December. The event will feature piling and foundation specialists and tunnelling experts discussing key trends and innovations taking place in the field, and how this will impact the UAE construction sector.

Key topics to be discussed:

• Incredible Innovations: Discovering the most innovative developments in piling, foundations, and tunnelling techniques and technologies

• Effective Designing & Project Planning: Exploring the strategies to improve project design and delivery

• Water Management: Understanding the most efficient water management procedures to use in the dewatering and waterproofing stages of your project

• International Insight: Discussing the key best practice measures and guidelines being used outside the UAE and which can be tailored to the region

• Project Insights into the most ground-breaking projects: including high-rise buildings, airports, bridges, canals and metros

Don’t miss out on what will be the leading UAE deep foundations and underground infrastructure event for 2014!

I look forward to welcoming you to Dubai this December.

Interactive Workshops

Dewatering Workshop: Sunday 7 December 2014

9:30 – 10:00 Registration and welcome refreshments

11:30 – 12:00 Morning networking refreshments

13:30 – 14:30 Lunch

10:00 – 16:00 Dewatering is the compulsory process of water removal which is crucial during any construction process. With high water table levels in the UAE, particularly in Abu Dhabi, it is necessary to ensure the correct amount of groundwater is removed with minimal environmental and structural impact.

This exclusive Dewatering Workshop will look at the dewatering process in close detail. Learn about the key developments in dewatering strategies during preliminary ground preparation in order to minimise subsequent water-related issues during your piling and foundation or underground projects.

You will benefit by:• Discussing the need for robust dewatering guidelines• Distinguishing the optimum suction strengths to achieve

successful dewatering whilst ensuring the integrity of surrounding structures is not compromised

• Discovering new technologies to improve the dewatering process

Workshop Leader: Prof. Hesham Elshazly, Geotechnical Manager, Municipality of Abu Dhabi City

High-Rise Foundations Workshop: Wednesday 10 December 2014

9:30 – 10:00 Registration and welcome refreshments

11:30 – 12:00 Morning networking refreshments

13:30 – 14:30 Lunch

10:00 – 16:00 The UAE construction sector has seen a rapid increase in the number of high-rise projects under construction, particularly in Dubai. With so many high-rises shaping the landscape, piling contractors and consultants need a deep understanding of ground and sub-surface conditions, in order to provide more robust foundations than needed for standard low-rise buildings.

As the number of high-rise projects will continue to grow, now is a crucial time to explore and understand the key requirements and developments in high-rise construction by attending the High-Rise Foundations Workshop.

You will benefit by:• Understanding the demands and necessities when constructing

high rise buildings in Dubai• Discussing the impact of the increasing number high-rise projects

on foundation guidelines • Reviewing the close proximity of UAE projects and how this

affects building and infrastructure foundations• Investigating temporary excavation support structures including

diaphragm walls
