ITA is now calling for new candidates to apply for the 6th edition of the International Tunnelling and Underground Space Awards, to be held towards the end of this year with the exact date and venue to be released soon.
For this edition, some changes are proposed in the categories with notably a category “Overcoming the challenge” for projects which dealt with either foreseen or unforeseen extreme challenges during excavation and construction, and another catagory named “Oddities of the Underground” celebrating the creativity, ingenuity, and imagination of the human spirit in its endeavors underground.
In this legally themed episode, Professor Dix draws on almost 30 years global legal experience as a disaster investigator, lawyer and barrister with his candid insights and advice on empowering underground professionals in the use of risk assessment and risk engineering techniques to manage their personal/professional legal risks
