The five-day course, which is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of tunnelling, is presented by industry experts and is recognised as providing the highest standard of technical content.

The course aims to cover all the major aspects of an underground project’s life and will include worked examples and workshop sessions to provide interaction between delegates and speakers. It is aimed at the wide range of professional services that support the tunnelling industry, including clients, tunnel operators and members of the financial and insurance sectors that may have a vested interest in tunnelling enterprises, as well as young tunnel design and construction engineers.

The provisional programme covers project development; soft ground tunnelling; tunnelling technology and materials; sprayed concrete linings; and hard ground tunnelling and risk.

Sponsored spaces for students and apprentices are available. Applications for these spaces closes at midnight on April 24. To download an application form click here.
