The opening day of the summit was graced by ASEP President Engr Gilbert Magbutay and ASEP past president and current Regional Coordinating Committe Overall Chairman Engr Frederick Francis Sison.
The programme included technical sessions on “Value Engineering of Deep Foundations: A Primer on Optimised Design” by Engr. Jeffrey Cimagala and Optimising Construction Projects Through Digital Monitoring of Concrete Maturity by Engr Mark Robertson of Doka Qatar. A technical presentation by Arab Center for Engineering Studies (ACES) also featured as well as keynote lecture by Engr. Frederick Francis Sison on Resiliency of Non-Structural Elements.
The afternoon session saw oath-taking of new and upgraded ASEP members initiated by the ASEP president.

The programme featured technical sessions on “Strength Evaluation of Reinforced Concrete Jacketed Columns” by Engr. Alden Cayaga, “Repair and Strengthening Solution for a Fire-Damaged Post-Tensioned Slab” by Engr. Russel Flores and “Design and Construction of Lightweight Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Structures” by Engr. Joseph Tuzon. It also featured a technical presentation by Fischer.
PICE Qatar Chapter President and a member of ASEP Engr Helario Amoguis delivered an inspirational talk wherein he underscored the need for qualified structural civil engineers to take the opportunity being offered by the regional committee to become a member. He emphasised that such membership will be necessary when they practise their profession back home. He also stressed the importance of technical seminars and workshop of the members in professional advancement.
