Description
The aim of this subject is to develop students' technical competence in the site investigation and monitoring of tunnel and underground space structures as well as enhance professional practice-oriented skills.
Students recognise that completion of this subject supports them to work in national and international tunnel infrastructure projects. Students learn how to critically review engineering documents, critique needs of site investigation depending on type and importance of tunnel and underground space infrastructure, project reports, and disciplinary research and professional skills. Students learn about various methodologies involved in site investigation, geospatial analysis, statistical approach, also frequently used standards and industry recommended guidelines.
