The IPA will organize the 2nd international Workshop combining an Extraordinary General Assembly with the ceremony and presentation of the IPA Grant Research Awards.

The workshop will take place in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA where the Hurricane Katrina hit in August 2005. The press-in piling work has been contributing to its disaster recovery. A tour of press-in construction sites in New Orleans will be included in the workshop programme.
