Deep Excavations Design Workshop

DEEP EXCAVATIONS DESIGN WORKSHOP

Online Workshop Series

WORKSHOP: DESIGN OF DEEP EXCAVATIONS - THEORY, METHODS AND SOFTWARE APPLICATION

TIME AND DATE: October 30, 2024 - 9 AM to 5 PM EST

6.5 PDH Credits Available

Price: Only $850 / Attendee

About

In this workshop, you will learn the basics of the design of deep excavation projects. Starting from theory and simple examples to more advanced topics the workshop will be covering several common deep excavation design methods and tricks, distilling years of deep excavation design experience. The workshop will build on solid fundamentals, and help engineers minimize uncertainties in deep excavation design.

FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE:

The seminar focuses both on theory and practice. The attendees will have a chance to learn or refresh their knowledge of different deep excavation design methods and standards used worldwide, and they will have a chance to apply all the methods within advanced software applications. During the workshop, several excavation design types and models will be reviewed and simulated, extending the participant engineers perception and knowledge on how to solve composite problems and provide economic alternative solutions.

"The workshop was very good. I thought it was well presented and I came away with a lot of information."

Eric Lahita, President Lahita Engineering

"Overall, I thought it was a great class!. I learned a great deal of info, and I’m sure the powerpoint slides will come in handy as a reference."

Alexandre Leblanc,ing.

Substructur Expert-conseil, Montreal, Canada

"It was a pleasure meeting you in New York, the workshop was a great add-on for me as a user of the software. It has provided validation of used method and has shown new way of using the software. "

"Since I came back from your Workshop in Plano TX, I have been introducing DeepEX to my colleagues. There is no other software out there that can be compared to DeepEX!"
