Effective geotechnical design and construction rely on high-quality early-stage data, yet challenges around data sharing and risk allocation often lead to inefficiencies, cost overruns, and disputes. This panel will explore how greater collaboration in geotechnical data management can improve project outcomes and how risk can be more equitably distributed across stakeholders.

Industry experts will discuss the barriers to data sharing, including ownership, commercial sensitivities, and legal concerns, as well as the impact of poor risk allocation on project costs and delays.
