This richly-illustrated reference guide presents innovative
techniques focused on reducing time, cost and risk in the
construction and maintenance of underground facilities:
A primary focus of the technological development in underground
engineering is to ease the practical execution and to reduce time,
cost and risk in the construction and maintenance of underground
facilities such as tunnels and caverns. This can be realized by new
design tools for designers, by instant data access for engineers,
by virtual prototyping and training for manufacturers, and by
robotic devices for maintenance and repair for operators and many
more advances.
This volume presents the latest technological innovations in
underground design, construction, and operation, and
comprehensively discusses developments in ground improvement,
simulation, process integration, safety, monitoring, environmental
impact, equipment, boring and cutting, personnel training,
materials, robotics and more. These new features are the result of
a big research project on underground engineering, which has
involved many players in the discipline.
Written in an accessible style and with a focus on applied
engineering, this book is aimed at a readership of engineers,
consultants, contractors, operators, researchers, manufacturers,
suppliers and clients in the underground engineering business. It
may moreover be used as educational material for advanced courses
in tunnelling and underground construction.
