The HKIE GEOTECHNICAL DIVISION 32ND ANNUAL SEMINAR
Geotechnical Aspects of Tunnelling for Infrastructure Development
CALL FOR REGISTRATION

THEME
In recent years, tunnel and underground constructions have become very common in infrastructure development projects in Hong Kong, especially for developments in its densely developed urban areas and rugged hilly terrains. The geotechnical profession in Hong Kong has gained valuable experience in tunnel and underground constructions.

The 2012 HKIE Geotechnical Division Annual Seminar will serve as a platform for the profession to consolidate our experience and geotechnical expertise in tunnel and underground constructions, and to equip ourselves with the knowledge to meet the challenges from underground developments in the years ahead. We are honoured to have Ms Grace Lui, Atg. Permanent Secretary for Development (Works) of the Government of the HKSAR, to be our guest of honour of the seminar. Two international experts, Professor Raymond Sterling and Mr Nick Shirlaw will deliver keynote lectures in areas of underground developments in rock caverns and soft ground tunnelling. There will be presentations of selected papers covering various aspects, e.g. state of the art in management of geotechnical risk, design and construction technologies (e.g. ground freezing), research and development work, as well as knowledge and experience grained from completed and on-going projects.
You can download the proceeding of the seminar and the latest programme.
