An immense investment plan amounting to 4 trillion yuan, as deployed by the State Council, in an integrated package of 10 major measures, envisaged for a stable and balanced economic development across the nation has emerged, amidst an expectation of continuously rapid growth of urban underground space exploration, mass transit project and still more tunnelling projects on a longer, larger, and deeper dimension.
To meet the challenge on such a scale that huge, on the ground of enhancing risk prevention and mitigation of construction risk, keeping tunnelling in tune with environmental harmony, < China's 4th International Symposium on Tunnelling > is to be held from 28th to 30th Oct 2009 in Shanghai, China , as jointly hosted by China’s Society of Civil Engineering, Shanghai Society of Civil Engineering and Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co. Ltd , after approval by Shanghai Municipal Government.
Main Theme：Safety and Environmental Friendliness in Tunnel and Underground Projects
Sub-titles：
1．Safety Design and Construction Technology for Large Scale Tunnel Projects
2．Safety and Risk Control Technique for Underground Projects
3．Mass Transit Projects and Environment Protection
To vivify academic atmosphere, and activate exchange of technical experiences in the arena of underground construction, its safety, and TBM technology in respect to scientific findings on research, design, and construction, all for the purpose of advancement and evolution of applied theory with practices, to raise technical level in applied technology, you are cordially invited to attend meetings of < China's 4th International Symposium on Tunnelling >.
