Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
Tunnels and underground structures for metros, roads, water, sewers, utilities and energy are among the most complex and risky construction projects. Ground uncertainty, groundwater, settlement of surrounding structures, confined working spaces and specialised equipment create technical, safety and commercial challenges that require careful planning and management.
This Tunnelling and Underground Construction Management training course provides a comprehensive overview of how underground projects are planned, procured, designed and delivered. Participants learn about ground investigation and characterisation, tunnelling methods including tunnel boring machines and sprayed concrete linings, shafts and caverns, ground movement and monitoring, safety in underground works and contractual risk allocation.
The course is designed for managers and engineers who need a broad, practical understanding of underground construction, whether they are new to the sector or seeking to deepen their expertise.
