COGAN - Competency in Geotechnical Analysis

Modern geotechnical design (in common with other industry sectors) is increasingly reliant on engineering analysis. However such techniques are barely covered in a university education and concerns persist surrounding inappropriate use of analysis tools by untrained staff, as demonstrated by benchmark studies and previous needs analyses. The goal is to transfer the innovative outputs from the highly successful CCOPPS project (www.ccopps.eu) including its industry-focussed framework and work-based learning modules, to the geotechnical sector of the construction industry.
