Advancing Geotechnical Knowledge: Our Contributions to GeoMontreal 2024

As part of the 2024 edition of the GéoMontréal conference, Englobe made its presence felt as a Diamond sponsor, the highest available partnership level. In addition to reaffirming our position as a major industry player, we showcased our projects and contributions on the regional, provincial and national scale. Thanks to our dynamic booth and many visitors, our team initiated stimulating conversations, shared new trends, and explained how we are making a real impact in our communities, one project at a time. 

Also, our team is proud to have contributed seven high-caliber technical papers and to have presented their findings, showcasing our dedication to advancing research and innovation in geotechnical engineering. These papers reflect our commitment to addressing the challenges and opportunities within the field and highlight the expertise of our talented professionals.  

Covering a range of key topics, our research demonstrates the innovative solutions we are developing to drive progress in the industry and build a better future. We invite you to explore our papers and gain insight into the future of geotechnical engineering.
