The Construction Industry is contributing significantly to the CO2 emissions, and so is the Deep Foundation Industry. With sustainability becoming more relevant each and every day, we, as a profession, have a role to play to reduce our emissions. Decarbonization is the first option: more efficient design reducing volumes of concrete or steel, and the use of different materials with lower carbon footprint. However, this should not be viewed as the only option available: the reuse of existing foundations must be considered as well, and even preferred as the most sustainable option.

The 5th European Conference on Physical Modelling in Geotechnics (ECPMG 2024) will be held in Delft, The Netherlands, from October 2nd to 4th, 2024. ECPMG 2024 is organized by ISSMGE's technical committee on Physical modelling (TC 104) and the EU funded GEOLAB project.
