Ground & Geotechnical Training Courses

The Online Earthworks Training course is designed for designers, contractors, and clients to gain a comprehensive understanding of successful earthworks projects. It covers soil behavior, design standards, and practical limitations, focusing on investigating the ground, specifying and designing components, and compaction and placement processes. The course includes practical sessions, tutorials, and case studies to reinforce learning. Participants will learn to design, monitor, and control earthworks, prepare specifications, and understand geotechnical parameters. The course targets civil engineers, geologists, project managers, and site-based engineers.

The Online Slope Stability Training Course is a comprehensive 2-day program focusing on understanding and analyzing slope stability to prevent landslides. The course covers topics such as landslide classification, stability analysis principles, investigation techniques, water and pore pressure effects, modeling, and slope stabilization methods. Participants will learn practical approaches without extensive mathematical formulas. The training emphasizes practical solutions for managing slope instability.

The Online Ground Investigation Training course aims to equip participants with the skills to effectively plan and specify ground investigations for construction projects. Emphasizing practical and cost-effective solutions, the course covers identifying geotechnical risks, maximizing information from investigations, and developing investigation strategies. Targeted at civil engineers, geologists, project managers, and clients, the training includes sessions on geomaterials, investigation techniques, and designing investigations. Participants will learn to recognize risks, conduct desk studies, select investigation techniques, and implement a staged investigation approach.

The Online EC7 Training Course focuses on imparting fundamental skills for geotechnical analysis and design of various foundation types using Eurocode 7 principles. Aimed at structural engineers, the course covers topics such as shallow foundations, piled foundations, and retaining walls, with practical examples provided. The course is led by Dr. Joshua Omer, a Senior Lecturer in Geotechnical Engineering with extensive experience in the field. Attendees include practicing engineers seeking to enhance their foundation design knowledge.

The Online Contaminated Land Training course provides an intensive introduction to contaminated land management in the UK, focusing on sources related to electricity distribution and transmission. It covers UK legislation, risk assessment processes, site investigation principles, and remediation options. The course targets employees of electricity companies and those in environmental and land management roles. The duration is one day.

The Online Geotechnics for Offshore Structures Training Course is a 2-day program focusing on geotechnical engineering for offshore structures. Led by experts Dr. Ana Ivanovic and Trevor Hodgson, the course covers topics such as soil characterization, foundation concepts, and design of mudmats and mooring anchors. Dr. Ivanovic's research background includes investigating marine pipelines and seabed influences, while Hodgson brings over thirty years of experience in offshore-related areas. Participants will gain insights into geotechnical analysis and design specific to offshore environments.
