Potential for providing solutions for these challenges can be found in the Press-in Method, featured by its environmental friendliness by the use of hydraulic static loads and its spatial efficiency associated with the self-walking function. To fulfill this, an interdisciplinary academic field - Press-in Engineering- is essential, where sharing of knowledge among the fragmented processes of planning, investigation, design and construction are integrated and the engineers who are engaged in developing construction machines and construction techniques, improving the accuracy and productivity of the construction process as well as conducting the construction itself, are encouraged to closely communicate. This international conference is the specific activity to expand this academic field, to be held in Kochi where the Press-in Method was originated.
