Asst. Prof. İbrahim Rasin DÜZCEER delivered a presentation on the activities of TMD members in Turkey and abroad, current projects, and the association’s contributions to the geotechnical sector.
It was decided that representatives from Turkey would join the newly established committee focused on developing artificial intelligence applications in the geotechnical field. The challenges faced by young engineers working in the geotechnical sector were also discussed.
The gathering of ten national federations in Gdansk provided an excellent opportunity for a productive workshop aimed at enhancing the quality and reputation of the geotechnical industry, promoting leadership in quality, sustainability, and occupational safety, and further advancing the deep foundation industry.
