19th National Geotechnical Congress

25 May 2026

Experts, researchers and companies met in Vila Real, to debate the sector's challenges at the 19th National Geotechnical Congress. Organized by the Portuguese Society of Geotechnics (SPG), with the Department of Engineering and Geology of the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD), the event took place for the first time in the city under the theme “Challenges and Innovation in Geotechnics”.

The Norvia Group was present at the business fair and participated with four technical communications. The first presentation focused on interventions in the General Drainage Plan for the City of Lisbon (PGDL). The second communication addressed the emergency repair of the embankment where the viaduct meets the Mondego River. The third communication had an international framework, focusing on the geotechnical aspects of the Ndúe Dam, in Angola.

Norvia Group's participation reinforces the company's commitment to innovation in the field of engineering and geotechnics in Portugal and internationally.
