What will I learn?
Gain hands-on skills in assessing granite rock formations, using RMR and Q classification systems, and analysing in-situ stresses in rugged, seismically active areas. Master failure prediction, initial drill-and-blast tunnel reinforcement design, empirical tools and charts, plus monitoring setups for responsive support in secure underground operations.
Elevify advantages
