Their participation underscored Kontur's commitment to staying at the forefront of geotechnical innovation and collaboration. The team engaged in technical sessions, keynote lectures, and networking opportunities, contributing their expertise and gaining insights into cutting-edge research and methodologies.

The symposium featured keynote addresses by Dr. Bengt Fellenius, who presented a case history on wick drains and piled foundations, and Dr. Shideh Dashti, who discussed liquefaction mitigation using data-driven and physics-informed approaches. These sessions aligned closely with Kontur's focus on applied science and real-world solutions in geotechnical engineering.

Kontur's presence at the symposium not only highlighted our technical capabilities but also reinforces our role as a proactive and collaborative force in the geotechnical community across British Columbia and beyond.
