TC220 – Data Formatting Working Group
The workshop will take the form of Inform – Discuss – Decide.
Inform
The workshop will look to draw on the expertise of specialist in our industry and possibly other industries to provide the participants with knowledge around the current use of data formatting in our practices. This Inform session will also seek to explore the possibilities available for us to consider and look at the use of data formatting in other industries.
Discuss
This session will seek to draw the participants into developing their thinking collectively and challenging the current practices through facilitated discussion groups. The outputs from this session will lead into the Decide session.
Decide
The culmination of this workshop will seek to highlight the most important aspects of Data Formatting for the Geomechanics monitoring profession. This will also seek to prioritise the work required to move us forward for future development by the Data Formatting Working Group.
TC220 – WG. Role of higher education in improving instrumentation in industry
The increasing demand together with the rapid growth of technical solutions and available technologies are transforming geotechnical and structural monitoring from a niche dedicated to a few challenging engineering projects to a systematic approach, thus revolutionizing the Observation Method approach. However geotechnical and structural monitoring is not a universally recognized discipline, thus limiting the impact of monitoring practice to better performing engineering projects and infrastructure asset management. Few professional training opportunities are available both at MSc and professional levels, thus reducing the chance to create a well-trained community that may suitably support future needs.
This workshop will aim to join our monitoring community in order to bring ideas and discuss on possible options to:
– increase the teaching of instrumentation and monitoring at University level;
– simplify the access to professional courses to both end-users and monitoring professionals
– speed-up the development and adoption of ”standards” in construction projects and asset management”
I&M and the Observational Method: mind the gap and bridge it!
The workshop will take the form of Inform – Discuss – Decide.
Inform
The first part of the workshop will provide a background of the relationship between I&M and the Observational Method. This will be achieved via a presentation by one or more speakers and will focus on the potential, the benefits and the challenges (stoppers) associated with the application of the Observational Method. The participants will be also introduced to the concept of the Observational Method as a data-driven approach, and to the consequent importance of the quality of the I&M scheme and data. The importance of a close cooperation and interaction between the I&M Consultant and other consultants as well as the I&M Specialist Contractor, the Main Contractor and the Client will also receive attention.
Discuss
The second part of the workshop will consist of parallel discussion sessions (round tables) about some of the topics mentioned during the first part. The participants will be taking an active role in the discussion and will be supported and challenged by an assigned moderator.
Decide
The third and final part of the workshop will start with summaries of the discussion sessions from the moderators, followed by a wrap up discussion to highlight the main conclusions. These will be collated in a dedicated memo and shared with ISSMGE TC220 and TC206, as well other organisations (e.g. the Cambridge Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction).
