The creation of new land through reclamation is common for urban expansion. Singapore has reclaimed land from the sea to expand its land area by about 25% over the past 60 years. Innovative use of reclaimed land as strategy for coastal protection against climate change induced sea levels rise has been proposed in the form of Long Island along east coast of Singapore. Ground improvement techniques are commonly used to treat the reclaimed land, to facilitate and accelerate the construction of structures for coastal protection and urban development.
The Geotechnical Society of Singapore (GeoSS) invites you to the International Symposium on Land Reclamation, Ground Improvement, and Coastal Protection (ISLGC), co-organized with ISSMGE Technical Committees TC217 and TC211, to be held on 26-28 November 2025. This symposium brings together renowned keynote and invited speakers to deliver state-of-the art lectures on the theme areas of the Symposium.
We invite researchers, engineers, contractors, developer and government agencies to submit abstracts showcasing research, innovations, and experiences in land reclamation, ground improvement, and coastal protection.
