Thermal site characterization for power cable and shallow geothermal energy design

Register for our Minisymposium

at the 7th International Conference on Geotechnical and

Geophysical Site Characterization

The ISC (International Conference on Geotechnical and Geophysical Site Characterization) is a successful sequence of events, which take place at different parts of the world every time. The 7th ISC will be hosted at the Campus Nord facilities of UPC Barcelona Tech from the 17th to the 21st of June 2024 in Barcelona, Spain.

To participate, submit your abstract by: September 30, 2023

Our proposed topics are:

• Effects of installation and operation of energy structures and cables on the thermal behaviour of soils
• Benefits and challenges of laboratory thermal testing of soils

1. Effects of sample disturbance and/or specimen reconstitution
2. Effects of degree in saturation

• Benefits and challenges of in situ thermal testing of soils

1. Effects of soil disturbance by in situ test tool
2. Reliability of results

• How to integrate point data into site-wide geothermal characterization
• Future of thermal site characterization
