Relevant to:
- Tunnel bidding and contracting
- Tunnel engineering and feasibility
- TBM design
- Environmental compliance
- Buying and estimating
Please allow 2 to 4 hours for the seminar. The course will
provide useful methods and skills, and attendees will receive a
course certificate.
The course can also expand over one or two day to form a
workshop to produce a comprehensive, costed proposal for EPB
conditioning on a bid or an existing project.
To make it as useful and relevant as possible, the course will
be mainly based on your own project if the relevant geological and
other information is available.
In order to have the required course material prepared, it would
be helpful if you could nominate someone from your office to
contact us and co-ordinate the event.
Although Mudtech products will be used for demonstration
purposes, this is a training initiative, not a "sales pitch" and we
will be happy to use competing products if you have samples
available.
