CourseDetails
• Subsurface Exploration Techniques – An introduction to the methods and technologies used to investigate the subsurface for tunneling projects, including geophysical surveying, drilling, and sampling.
• Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering – An overview of the properties and behavior of soils, rocks, and other geological materials, and their impact on tunneling design and construction.
• Rock Mechanics and Engineering Geology – The study of the mechanical behavior of rock and rock masses, and the application of engineering principles to the investigation and assessment of geological conditions for tunneling.
• Tunneling Methods and Design – An examination of the various methods used for tunneling, including conventional tunneling, TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) tunneling, and SEM (Sequential Excavation Method) tunneling, as well as the design considerations for each method.
• Ground Support and Stabilization – The techniques and methods used for supporting and stabilizing the ground during tunneling, including shotcrete, rock bolts, and other ground support systems.
• Tunnel Construction Safety and Risk Management – An overview of the safety and risk management considerations for tunnel construction, including hazard identification, risk assessment, and the development and implementation of safety management plans.
• Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) – The principles and practices of SUE, which involves the identification, location, and mapping of underground utilities in the vicinity of proposed tunneling projects, to minimize the risk of utility damage and ensure safe and efficient construction.
• Tunnel Inspection and Maintenance – The methods and techniques used for inspecting and maintaining tunnels, including visual inspections, non-destructive testing, and condition assessment, as well as the development and implementation of maintenance plans.
• Tunnel Engineering Project Management &
