3 DAY SEMINAR
Chiang Mai, February 2020
CONTRACTING PRACTICES
New Technologies impacting Contracts in Design & Construction
SYNOPSIS – DRAFT
The choice of Tunnelling Contracting Method and the evaluation of Tunnel Behaviour in Practice means estimating the interaction between project owner and contractor, as well as equipment and ground. For the designer it means production of specs and drawings to visualize a structure which later results as a tunnel.
The tunnel designer becomes the manager of tunnel contracting including many its risks, as his choice of contracting and design becomes a management tool in construction.
This seminar on the principle choice of tunnel contracting for e.g. SE ASIA’s future Infrastructure and for contract management by design, summarizes the state of the art for both conventional (NATM) and mechanized (TBM) tunnelling.
Detailed lectures will be provided in regard to Infrastructure and the Choice of Tunnel Contracting, Principles of CTM Tunnelling, Principles of TBM Tunnelling, Monitoring for CTM and TBM Tunnelling, CTM Tunnelling in Soft Ground & Hard Rock. Issues of lectures focus generally to underground contracting including claim practices, Hydro Tunnelling, Floodwater Control Tunnels, design stages, contractual applications, and construction organization. All lecturers are to be determined.
