BESPOKE, SPECIALIST TRAINING FACILITIES FOR GEOTECHNICAL COURSES
This course will give a practical introduction to foundation design for geotechnical practitioners and engineers who are becoming involved in foundation design recommendations and who may have only a limited knowledge of geotechnics. They should have, as a minimum a degree in a geology or a ground science.
"Really good course. Good balance between practical and theory. Worked examples were important. Tutor was excellent with a great knowledge of the subject matter and a good training style and delivery."
