Fugro to launch advanced monitoring solution at IGIC 2025

Geo-data specialist, Fugro, has announced participation as one of the primary geotechnical sponsors at the second edition of the International Geotechnical Innovation Conference (IGIC) 2025, taking place on 5 and 6 May in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Organised under the theme ‘Shaping the World Beneath: Fostering Sustainability, Innovation and Resilience in Geotechnics’, the event will bring together industry stakeholders from around the world to discuss geotechnical engineering and infrastructure development.

Fugro will leverage the stronghold of IGIC 2025 to launch its GroundIQ approach, an unique solution that provides comprehensive ground investigation and monitoring capabilities. It uses advanced geotechnical expertise and cutting-edge technologies to reduce uncertainties related to subsurface conditions, enabling clients to make well-informed decisions, mitigate project risks and prevents costly overruns from the early planning stages.

As Saudi Arabia accelerates its ambitious Vision 2030 agenda, sustainable and resilient infrastructure plays a crucial role in shaping the Kingdom’s future. Fugro’s solutions support the development of essential infrastructure, such as bridges, buildings, stadiums, roads, tunnels, and coastal developments, throughout their entire lifecycle.

Jurgen Fitschen, country manager for Land in Saudi Arabia, Fugro, said, “We are excited to join the second IGIC event as Saudi Arabia embarks on a transformative journey, blending tradition with innovation and sustainability. This vision presents significant opportunities for advancing infrastructure that is both resilient and forward-thinking.”
