- Support activities such as groundwater modelling and subsurface installations
Description
This course explores geological materials critical to the integrity and functionality of underground structures, foundations, and various subsurface installations. Participants will develop skills in survey design, data management, and advanced geophysical techniques essential for optimal subsurface investigations. The course covers the intricacies of data compilation, including using drill hole databases and acquiring geophysical data to inform the analysis of strata and structures.
In addition, you’ll delve into specifying material properties, understanding heterogeneity, and managing uncertainty in sediment and rock formations. These skills are crucial for making informed decisions and reducing risks in subsurface projects. This knowledge is vital for energy, mineral exploration, water resources, environmental engineering, waste management, and geological research applications.
Whether you’re working on projects related to groundwater, geothermal energy, fossil fuels, or mineral resources, this course will equip you with the tools and insights needed to excel.
Who Should Attend
This course is ideal for engineers, geoscientists, and information managers involved in subsurface investigation, design, and utilization. It is particularly beneficial for professionals who work with underground structures, foundations, slope stability, groundwater, oil and gas, geothermal resources, waste disposal, or mineral resources.
Environmental scientists, hydrogeologists, civil engineers, project managers, and geotechnical engineers will also find this course valuable for enhancing their understanding and management of subsurface conditions.
