    🔍 Overview

     

    Papua New Guinea's engineers face a growing need to deliver code-compliant, seismic-resilient buildings, bridges, and geotechnical works under demanding local ground conditions. This joint CPD seminar, presented by MIDAS IT Australia  in partnership with the National Polytechnic Institute of PNG (NPIPNG) and the Institution of Engineers PNG (IEPNG), introduces participants to advanced structural, bridge, and geotechnical analysis software used on projects worldwide and increasingly across the Pacific.

     

    Through a series of technical presentations, engineers will see how MIDAS GEN NX, MIDAS CIVIL NX, and SoilWorks support building, bridge, and geotechnical design workflows, and learn about ongoing MIDAS skills-enhancement training opportunities for PNG-based professionals.
