About the Seminar

The MIDAS GTS NX Geotechnical Seminar 2025 – Malaysia is a half-day event that highlights real engineering practices and numerical analysis applications in Malaysia’s geotechnical projects. The seminar brings together professionals and academics to discuss practical challenges and modern design solutions.

 

Topics include pipe jacking engineering and ground behavior, deep excavation and foundation performance, and rainfall-induced slope stability analysis using MIDAS GTS NX. Each session will feature real-world case studies that demonstrate how advanced modelling can support safer and more efficient project outcomes.

 

Participants will gain valuable insights into integrating field experience with numerical tools, improving decision-making in design and construction. All attendees will receive CPD points accredited by the Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM) and a Certificate of Attendance.
