The Third International Conference on Press-in Engineering (ICPE2024) will be held in Singapore from 3 to 5 July 2024.
Press-in piling and engineering works are now commonly employed in many countries. These kind of works are expected
to grow further to achieve sustainability and resilience of infrastructure against climate change. As an example, strong
coastal and river protection works become necessary in many countries to tackle rising sea level and erratic climate
conditions such as flooding and stronger wave forces. In view of the above, the theme of ICPE2024 is ‘The Superiority ofPress-in Piling towards Sustainable Construction in Tackling Climate Change for Infrastructure Development’.
Two keynote speakers will deliver lectures on the conference theme. Dr. SY Yamaguchi of the United Nations University
Japan will present the ‘Progress of United Nation’s Sustainabe goals and the Synergy with Climate Change Actions’.
Professor Ken Gavin of the Delft University of the Netherlands will present ‘The Potential Use of Press-in Methods in theOffshore Renewables Industry’. There will be also be a Singapore Theme Lecture to be delivered by three prominent
practicing engineers, Dr TL Goh and Mr David Liaw of Singapore and Mr T Nozaki of Japan. They will share their knowledge
on ‘Development of Press-in Technology in Southeast Asia with Applications on Coastal Protection’. In addition, there will
be a special Southeast Asia session with presentations given by prominent researchers/engineers from the region.
ICPE2024 offers opportunities for academics and technicians to intercommunicate with one another and for students andyoung experts to present their achievements. The ICPE would be grateful to welcome your participation. We would also
appreciate your help in disseminating information of this event to your colleagues. We look forward to seeing you at theconference and finding common ground with you.
