Synopsis

Site Investigation (SI) plays a crucial role in the geotechnical engineering industry by providing essential geological information for constructing a reliable ground model in engineering design. Adequate SI minimizes geological and geotechnical risks. This webinar will introduce the SI strategies commonly employed during different stages of rock cavern study in Hong Kong. The speaker will also share recent experiences in GI planning projects and discuss the considerations as well as constraints involved from the perspective of a designer.
