Underground Space Facilities: Layout, Design and Operational Issues

Singapore, Nanyang University, 11 - 12 July 2013

The purpose of this course is to aid future owners and designers of underground spaces to create well-planned, attractive and functional underground facilities that are safe, secure and cost-effective in terms of life cycle performance.

The course is aimed at professionals that do not have significant experience with underground structures but wish to understand in general terms the key related issues.

For most of the lecture topics, the ITA offers a full course that can be taken to gain more insight and detail regarding that specific topic.

The emphasis of the course is on “facilities” either in soil or rock rather than road or rail tunnel projects and is planned to encompass the design of large integrated underground spaces as well as individual underground facilities.

Tentative program, including short description of the lectures is available >>
