The Two- day training course will highlight the most important aspects of design and construction of tunnelling in urban areas. Upon completion of two days course, participants will receive the certificates from ITA-CET Foundation endorsed by ITA and the Engineering Institute of Thailand as part of the Continuous Professional Development (CPD).
This Pre-Congress ITACET Training Course will be on 18 and 19 May 2012, by the ITACET Foundation (Foundation for Education and Training on Tunnelling and Underground Space Use) incorporated with the International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association (ITA-AITES) and the Thailand Underground and Tunnelling Group (TUTG) of the Engineering Institute of Thailand. Lectures on topics related to the theme of the training course "Tunnelling in Urban Area" will be delivered by experts in the fields during the two-day event. It is an excellent opportunity for young engineers to participate in this training course to learn both theory and practical aspects of urban tunnelling and related topics lectured by prominent lecturers. Registration can be made online at www.wtc2012.com.
