IPA Seminar on Press-in Technology in Malaysia
1st November 2017, Wednesday

CPD: 5.5 (IEM)
CCD: 10 (CIDB)WELCOMEThe International Press-in Association (IPA) is an academic organization to explicate the unseen phenomena andmechanism below the ground by the press-in engineering in close coordination with various technical fields such asenvironmental, geotechnical, mechanical, instrumentation and construction engineering.
IPA would like to invite you to attend the IPA Seminar on Press-in Technology in Malaysia, which explains detailsof the Press-in Method, including design and construction aspects.

WHAT IS PRESS-IN?

In the Press-in Method, prefabricated piles are
installed into the ground without noise and vibration
using static loading generated from hydraulic rams.
The reaction force is derived from extraction
resistance of previously driven piles, allowing theinvention of a small press-in machine, so called the“Silent Piler” to generate greater force byintegrating with the ground. Such compact machine
can work under physically restricted working
conditions. The Press-in Method is originated inJapan and over the years, it has been disseminatedwidely across the world through successful
applications. The Press-in Method has also beenused in difficult site conditions in Malaysia andSoutheast Asian region.

OBJECTIVE OF SEMINAR

IPA aims to promote this method throughcollaborated effort within industry-academiagovernment, and therefore we are pleased toorganize a seminar in Malaysia to commemorate therelease of upcoming handbook, entitled the“Press-in retaining structures: a handbook (Firstedition 2016)”. This seminar will provide guidanceon the use of the handbook in the design andconstruction of Press-in Method.
