Vilnius Technical Seminar 2026
Bridge & Geotechnical Engineering with MIDAS
A one-day, in-person seminar for bridge and geotechnical engineers, covering timber footbridge design trends, steel railway bridge analysis, and monitoring-based back-analysis for excavation and retaining walls — presented by industry experts and the MIDAS IT Europe technical team.
Register Now →Bridge engineering and geotechnical insight,
from two different perspectives
Hosted in Vilnius, this in-person seminar brings together practising bridge engineers and the MIDAS IT Europe technical team for an afternoon of applied, project-driven presentations: why timber footbridges are becoming a sustainable, eco-friendly design trend, dynamic and construction-stage analysis of a steel railway bridge, and back-analysis of monitoring data for excavation and retaining wall projects using GTS NX.
Whether you work on infrastructure design, structural assessment, or geotechnical analysis, the sessions are built around real engineering workflows, followed by a coffee break and open networking.
WHO IT'S FOR
Bridge, structural and geotechnical engineers working on infrastructure design and analysis

What you'll take away
By the end of the session, you'll see how bridge and geotechnical projects move from design to a verified, monitored MIDAS workflow.
Timber footbridge: a sustainable design trend
See why timber footbridges are gaining ground as an environmentally friendly alternative, and how they're designed and analysed in practice.
Steel railway bridge: dynamic & construction stage analysis
See dynamic analysis and construction-stage analysis applied to a real steel railway bridge project.
Back-analysis with monitoring data
Walk through back-analysis of excavation and retaining wall projects in GTS NX, using real monitoring data to calibrate the model.
