Welcome to SLGS

The Sri Lankan Geotechnical Society (SLGS) was inaugurated on 27th February 1986, in response to the need felt for a long time by the scientists, engineers and geologists associated with Geotechnical Engineering to provide a forum for exchange and advancement of knowledge in the field of Geotechnical Engineering. With time, SLGS has gained recognition as a member of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) thus opening opportunities to participate internationally in the advancement of Geotechnical Engineering, an achievement of another goal set at the time of founding the Society.
