NEWS - ie-net & ABTUS-BVOTS to organize a 9-day tunneling course

WHAT?

A 9-day tunnelling course will start from December 2024, providing an integrated view of underground structures and tunnels. The entire ‘life cycle’ will be covered, from design to management in operation, maintenance and renovation. The course is a collaboration between the Flemish Engineers Association and the Belgian Association for Underground Techniques and Urbanism ABTUS-BVOTS.


GOAL?

Where in the past, mere knowledge transfer in technology was the focus, this course goes further. Pure tunnel technologies and concepts are certainly covered, also in terms of financial risks in their realization. Structures in operation face major challenges to remain functional and healthy. The content of this course will be submitted for reflection and fine-tuning.



October 16th Bart De Pauw and Etienne Hemerijckx will explain this course at the Beyond a Tunnel Vision event in Antwerp. At 15h00 they will highlight this course during an interactive workshop.
