6. Tunnels and underground excavations

►BRIEF SUMMARY

implementation and design of metro and road tunnels. To achieve this, the module will address the elements that lead to selecting underground works as a technical alternative in the definition and implementation of infrastructure in both urban and non-urban environments. It will cover modern principles for tunnel design, the various existing construction methods, contracting forms, and their association with risk management methodologies.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES

To discuss introductory aspects of geotechnical engineering for underground works. This includes discussing feasibility aspects, basic design concepts, identifying the types of underground works and their associated construction methods, as well as aspects related to the contracting of underground works.

BENEFITS

► Access to the International Diploma in Geotechnical Engineering

► Get trained by a speaker with vast experience on the subject.

►Receive materials for each module such as slides, manuals and data that you can keep.

► Freedom to access a course on the day and at the time you want, as well as to pause and go back the class as many times as necessary until you fully assimilate the knowledge that is provided.

► Access to the network of professionals from various countries of the world. Technicians, university students, engineers, masters, doctors, post-doctors and the general public related to the professional field participate in our diploma course.

► Access to the database of queries and answers from the participants, as well as the technical reports generated in each module and the supporting theses.

TRAINING MODALITY
The modality presented is the “Virtual-OFFLINE” (Virtual asynchronous); in this you will develop a course every 30 days, which is made up of videos, materials, slides and questions to the speaker. At the end of each course, you must take an exam to pass it and move on to the next course.

You will be assigned the tutoring of a specialist and there will be no limitations in terms of access hours or consultations with the speaker, this promotes that you be trained efficiently. The hours dedicated to each module must be managed assertively to optimize the benefit. You will experience all of the above through our virtual campus, which will also allow us to monitor your progress.
