  • Comparative Analysis of Helical Pile Capacity Methodologies in Local Glaciolacustrine Clay and Glacial Till Deposits by Jenna Roadley, M.Sc., P.Eng.

  • CGS Manitoba Summer Social! An evening of networking with our local geotechnical community and celebrate Dr. Rob Kenyon upon his retirement after 35+ years of outstanding contributions. Many of you will have had the opportunity to personally connect with Dr. Kenyon but for those who may not be aware Dr. Kenyon is currently Specialist Geotechnical Advisor to KGS Group and an Adjunct Professor at the University of Manitoba. Dr. Kenyon was also a co-editor for the latest edition of the Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual (Edition 5) alongside Ken Skaftfeld and served as the President of CGS National from 2023-2024. Rob delivered a special technical presentation:

    "Three Decades of Emergency Flood Engineering" from 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM (Includes Q&A).

    Rob shared hard-earned lessons from responding to major crises like the 1997 Red River Flood, the 2011 Assiniboine Basin flooding, and more. He covered practical insights into 4 m-high sandbag dike design, foundation blowouts, failing prisms, infrastructure crossings, and mobilizing volunteer armies.

  • Evaluating the Drainage Performance of a Conventional Nonwoven Geotextile with a Custom-Built Laboratory Device by Md. Zahid Hassan

  • Artificial Thawing of Frozen Soil: Pre-Test Numerical Simulation of Thermal Behaviour by Daniiar Omurbekov.
