Trenchless Essentials A lecture series for Trenchless Practitioners
Introduction
‘Trenchless essentials’ is a lecture series developed for providing the basic knowledge of essential topics helpful in a trenchless project’s successful design and execution. Working experience backed with the knowledge acquired through these lectures shall assist the practicing Trenchless Professionals in becoming self reliant in the selected sphere of technology application. This series will also provide the much required technical inputs to the new entrants and other engineering fraternity members interested in various issues related to Trenchless Project Execution.
Series Overview
The series comprises of 45 different lectures on various topics of Trenchless Engineering as mention below. Lecture contents are developed through extensive research of technical books, documents, research reports, and other relevant sources, and evaluated on sound engineering practices. Upon conclusion of this series the next essential series covering advancements in the current topics and newer topics shall be conducted. Details about the individual lecture are provided later in this section. The series is designed for working professionals and is scheduled on a weekly basis.
