Meeting Room 1-2, Second Floor, Zone B ,QSNCC
The World Tunnel Congress 2012 is pleased to introduce ITACET Training Course : TUNNELLING IN URBAN AREAS BY 19 GURUS . The 19 course instructors are the World’s top gurus in tunnelling and underground construction . Upon completion of two days course, participants will receive the certificates from ITACET Foundation endorsed by ITA and the Engineering Institute of Thailand as part of the Continuous Professional Development(CPD).
Organized By :
ITA-CET Foundation (Foundation for Education and Training on Tunnelling and Underground
Space Use)
International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association(ITA-AITES) Thailand Underground and Tunnelling Group (TUTG) of the Engineering Institute of Thailand under his H.M. the King’s Patronage (EIT)
Why is the development of underground space important for Urban Areas ?
More than half the population of the world now lives in urban area. It is expected that urbanpopulation will grow rapidly in the next decades — 70% of world population will be living in the
cities in 2050.
Most of the modern cities around the world need to cope with this rapidurbanization while at the same time protecting large concentrations of people from naturaldisasters and the effect of climate change
Underground infrastructures contributes to sustainability of the urban environment in many
ways;
saving natural resources, including land, water, and biodiversity reducing air pollution (mainly in the transport sector, though also for others, such as underground sewage treatment facilities)
creating opportunities for less energy use and waster generation creating structures less impacted by earthquakes enhancing of overall landscape and environmental quality
Objectives of the Course
To present the design and construction approaches for tunnelling in urban areas. The course highlights the most important design and construction methods with reference to urban tunnelling, with special attention devoted to mechanise tunnelling and to the constraints imposed by urban tunnelling (settlement and damage control, risk management, watertight tunnels, building and infrastructure effects).
