Indian Near Surface Geophysics Conference and Exhibition
Our journey in India commenced at the 2nd Indian Near Surface Geophysics Conference and Exhibition, with Emeralds, CEO, Andi A Pfaffhuber and our key Business Developer, Zahidur Rahman Arnob presenting our team.
During the conference, Andi presented how the integration of airborne geophysics, geotechnical data, and machine learning provides critical insights into tunnelling projects. This method is particularly effective in identifying weak rock formations, a critical factor for ensuring safety and enhancing the efficiency of infrastructure developments.
Recognition of Excellence
The highlight of the conference was when EMerald was honoured with the “Excellence in Industry Award» This award acknowledges our contribution to the field through innovative applications of geophysics and the development of new technologies.
Strategic Collaborations
A significant moment of our trips was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with WAPCOS, a leader in the Indian hydropower industry. This partnership is set to combine EMeralds geophysical technology with WAPCOS´s rich experience in hydropower. This indicates a new era of innovation, efficiency and sustainability in the Indian hydropower sector.
Impactful Meetings and Discussions
Our travels in India led to many meaningful conversations and meetings.
One of our meetings where at RITES, where we showcased the potential of our technology and how it can add value to the Indian Railways in the Design & Feasibility stage. The timing was especially noteworthy as it overlapped with Diwali, bringing a festive atmosphere to the occasion.
Another notable meeting took place at the Indian Institute of Public Administration with Mr. Vinod Sharma, Vice Chairman of the Sikkim State Disaster Management Authority. We explored how our technology could play a critical role in identifying landslide-prone areas in Himachal and Arunachal Pradesh, thereby minimizing the impact on infrastructure and human lives.
Looking Forward
Our India visit was more than just a showcase of technology; it was a step towards building lasting relationships and laying the groundwork for future collaborations which promise to bring sustainable and efficient solutions in infrastructure.
We look forward to the exciting opportunities these collaborations will bring.
