Associated research Centers for Urban Underground Space (ACUUS)

ACUUS 2023 combines with the 2nd International Conference on the Exploration and Utilisation of Underground Space (EUUS-2). The EUUS conference series is an ACUUS initiative with a focus on urban geology and underground resources. Worldwide, the use of underground space has been increasingly recognised as part of the solutions for sustainable urban development. In Singapore, underground space has been elevated to a strategic level and economic imperative when the government announced that underground space development will form part of the economic strategies for Singapore’s future development. For the first time, underground space was included as part of Singapore’s Master Plan 2019. Special legislations have been enacted on the ownership and acquisition of underground space. There has also been a paradigm shift towards the underground as a default option for major infrastructure development. The main theme for ACUUS 2023 Singapore is “Underground Space – the Next Frontier.”

ICPE2024 Organizing Committee and International Press-in Association

Press-in engineering technique is now commonly employed in many countries to install sheet pile retaining structures, coastal protection facilities and other structures reducing noise, vibration, and time. In some cases, pipe piles have been installed by means of press-in technique for the foundations to support the buildings. The inaugural Press-in Engineering Conference (ICPE2018) was successfully completed in Kochi, Japan in September 2018, and the Second Conference (ICPE2021) was also successfully held receiving many positive feedbacks. Each of the above conferences attracted several hundred participants. As press-in technique is also commonly employed in Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries, Singapore is going to host the third international conference ICPE2024 from 3 to 5 July 2024.
