Shotcrete for Underground Support XIV
An ECI Conference Series
State of the art technologies and new developments in Rock Engineering, Tunneling, Underground Space and Deep Excavation
November 17-20, 2019
Nong Nooch Gardens
Pattaya, Thailand
The 14th International Conference on Shotcrete for Underground Support (ECI SUS XIV) will be held in Nong Nooch Gardens – Pattaya, Thailand from November 17-20, 2019.
This event is co-organized by Engineering Conferences International (ECI) and the Thailand Underground and Tunnelling Group (TUTG) of the Engineering Institute of Thailand (EIT) under His Majesty the King’s Patronage.
ECI SUS XIV aims to pool the consolidated knowledge and experiences from engineers, researchers and project managers from across the world in order to share and update state-of-the-art technology and best practices in rock engineering, rock support methods, TBM tunneling and deep excavation.
