Overview
Please note that this seminar will be held on 10 October 2024 from 19:00 – 20:30 HK time.
(Registration will begin at 18:45)
This presentation explores the integration of smart sensing systems in underground construction, highlighting their impact on transforming traditional methodologies. The discussion will focus on advanced technologies leveraging artificial intelligence and sophisticated sensor networks to optimise various aspects of subterranean infrastructure development. Through real-world case studies from the UK, the presentation will analyse how these intelligent sensing systems are contributing to substantial improvements in safety, efficiency, and sustainability within underground construction projects. Additionally, we will explore the implications of these innovations for future urban development and their broader environmental impact.
Note:
