Welcome to the March issue of the AGS Magazine.
International Womens Day is celebrated on 8th March and this months magazine has a number of articles focussing on Women’s safety and wellbeing. We’ve come a long way since I started in the industry when safety boots were not made in my size, but we still have some way to go. We also feature an article introducing SiLC’s female leads and their experience as women working in the industry.
Also in this edition, is an article on Ground models which describes the purpose and process for constructing a ground model in accordance with the requirements of EC7; Rose Ashmore takes a look at Net Zero – Rolling Dynamic Compaction and David Hutchinson from the Loss Prevention Working Group looks at the issue of Professional Indemnity Insurance which was raised as an issue in a recent survey of members.
We have several events coming up, in April we are holding an ‘Effective Procurement of Ground Investigations’ webinar and in May we have our Annual Conference, an in-person event. This year’s Annual conference theme is ‘The Future’ with a poster competition for Early Careers on the topic of Workplace Innovations. After the event we will be holding a networking reception and I hope you will be able to join us.
