The Geotechnical Society of Ireland is for members of Engineers Ireland with an interest in geotechnical engineering, engineering geology, soil and rock mechanics, ground investigations, the geosynthetics industry and general civil engineering.

The Register of Ground Engineering Professionals (RoGEP) provides external stakeholders, including clients and other professionals, with a means to identify individuals who are suitably qualified and competent in ground engineering.

Chartered Engineers are eligible to apply to join the Register. Joining the register could benefit your career prospects by showing you have specialist ground engineering competences as defined by a growing list of engineering codes and standards. Apply here today

The Geotechnical Society and Engineers Ireland developed a revised Specification for Ground Investigation in Ireland (2nd edition 2016).

A limited number of hard copies of this booklet are available to purchase for €59, including P&P. Please email administration@engineersireland.ie if you wish to buy a copy.
