Best Practices in Geotechnical Investigation, EPC Contracting, Project Funding and Risk Management for Asia’s Tunnel Infrastructure

Developing underground infrastructure for transportation, utilities and for commercial/mixed use purposes has become indispensable in a fast urbanising Asia. With increased number of urban tunnel projects, tunnelling in mixed ground conditions close to existing structures is still costly and risky.

The 4th annual Tunnel Design & Construction Asia conference will feature experts from regional tunnel projects to share the best practices in cost effective engineering and construction of urban underground projects.

How is the 4th annual Tunnel Design & Construction Asia different?

The programme is newly designed to unlock and share the expertise in metro tunnelling by innovative formatting:

  • Consultant moderated panel discussions with multiple stakeholders of regional tunnel projects
  • Case studies of ongoing station/tunnel construction projects
  • Focus sessions on geotechnical investigation + engineering design +construction of upcoming major projects
  • Contractor sessions on project construction updates

Testimonials

Very well organised. We received full support from the organisers in meeting our clients.
- Pedro Quiros, Marketing Manager, Zitron SA
The conference provided a valuable chance for exchange of knowledge and experiences in tunnelling industry.
- Horiguchi, Joyce, Risk Engineer, Liberty Underwriters
Given an excellent exposure to international tunnelling developments. The range of topics was very wide and covered almost all aspects of design and construction.
- Avinash V. Patil, Asst. Vice President (Engineering), HCC India
An excellent opportunity to meet the representatives from the regional tunnelling industry. I liked the range of topics – from technical to case studies. Very interesting content. Great networking opportunity.
- Shannon Goff, Senior Staff Engineer, Jacobs Associates

Topics to be discussed at 4th annual Tunnel Design & Construction Asia include:

  • New techniques in condition assessment of existing structures
  • Updates in ground treatment procedures in urban excavations
  • Overcoming construction challenges in high altitude and mountainous tunnels
  • Integrating complex passages and underground stations with minimal surface disruption
  • Changed perceptions in risk assessment and management through risk instrumentation
