This live class will provide an in-depth understanding of geotechnical audits and reporting, focusing on identifying and assessing risks associated with soil, rock, and other geological materials that support infrastructure. The class will cover audit methodologies, best practices for geotechnical assessments, and how to generate actionable reports that can influence decision-making in mining and construction projects.
Interactive discussions will ensure that participants understand the core principles and the application of geotechnical audits in real-world scenarios. Practical examples and case studies will be used to demonstrate how geotechnical reports impact the design, construction, and safety of projects.
