Spread across three days, the symposium provides a forum for ground freezing practitioners across the world including engineers, contractors, academics, and scientists to meet and exchange ideas, theories, and project case histories. Since the last conference held in Maine in 2006, Artificial Ground Freezing (AGF) has grown in popularity and its application has expanded to projects including shafts, tunnels including cross passages and large barrier walls with increased attention to soil-structure interaction in urban areas.
