Maccaferri was proud to participate as a Gold Sponsor at the Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS) Newcastle Symposium 2026, held on 5 May 2026 in Newcastle, New South Wales.

Organised by the AGS Newcastle Chapter, the one-day symposium brought together geotechnical engineering professionals from the Hunter Valley and Northern New South Wales regions. The event provided a platform for consultants, contractors, government representatives, and academics to exchange knowledge, present local projects, and discuss current challenges in geotechnical practice.

The program featured a diverse range of technical presentations, including innovative research, project case studies, and practical lessons learned from across the geotechnical sector. With both standard and short presentation formats, the symposium encouraged contributions from professionals at all career stages and fostered a collaborative environment for knowledge sharing.

Maccaferri delivered a short technical presentation highlighting our geotechnical solutions and their application in addressing real-world engineering challenges. The presentation focused on practical and innovative approaches that support safe, efficient, and sustainable infrastructure development. In addition to the presentation, Maccaferri engaged with attendees, sharing technical materials and discussing project-specific challenges with industry professionals. These interactions provided valuable opportunities to exchange insights and strengthen relationships within the geotechnical community.

Maccaferri extends its appreciation to the Australian Geomechanics Society Newcastle Chapter for organising a successful event and providing a valuable platform for industry collaboration and knowledge sharing. We look forward to supporting future initiatives that advance geotechnical engineering practice across the region.
