Our mission? Keeping geotechnical professionals at the forefront of innovation and best practices in South Africa. From industry meetups and expert lectures to hands-on courses, we’re all about sharing knowledge that matters.
Our committee consists of practicing geotechnical engineers from diverse industries, bringing a variety of skills and knowledge to promote the interests of our members.
We’re here to connect scientists and engineers, spark new ideas, and promote safe, practical, and cutting-edge geotechnical methods. Whether it’s groundbreaking research or game-changing construction techniques, we ensure the best of soil mechanics and foundation engineering reaches the South African geotechnical community.
At the South African Geotechnical Division, we strive to:
We also collaborate closely with engineering geologists and rock mechanics specialists, ensuring a well-rounded approach to advancing the field.
We also maintain a database of all courses which a have been accredited by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) are shared on this website.
