Tunnel Design & Construction Asia 2011 June 21, 2011

Best Practice Strategies for Cost Efficient Design, Construction, Enhanced Service Life and Safety of Tunnels

Tunnel Design & Construction Asia 2011 will examine:
•Master plans and upcoming projects for road/rail, water/wastewater and utility tunnel infrastructure
•Funding, legal & contractual requirements
•Best practices in geotechnical investigations and instrumentation
•Urban tunnelling techniques
•Optimal selection of construction procedures in NATM and Mountain tunnelling
•TBM selection procedures for different soil/rock conditions
•Handling technical and construction contract risks
•Fire safety and ventilation design for long and immersed tunnels

The following trends in tunnel design and construction will also be presented:
•Design and construction of shafts and portals
•Safety codes and procedures in tunnel construction
•Handling squeezing ground conditions during construction
•Effective use of geotechnical baseline reports
•Retrofit and upgrade of existing tunnels
