IIT Kharagpur | STC (Executive Development) on Advanced Technologies in Rock Excavation with special reference to mitigation of safety and environmental issues, Apply Now!
Overview:
This course is designed to refresh the mining and excavation engineers to advanced and sustainable excavation practices. The industry is currently facing the challenges of deep excavation, limited land availability, and nearness of inhabitancy. This demands stringent safety and environmental requirements. The availability of minerals is also depleting with time. On the other hand, the requirement of minerals and surface, subsurface excavations are increasing steeply. Sustainable mining must be practiced with advanced technologies to cater to the same.
This course is intended to expose Engineers to the current challenges, advanced technologies, and paths to achieve sustainable rock excavation practices. The course will start with the basic knowledge, which professionals, in general, forget due to continuous workings as managers. Unlearn and relearning are essential for any organization's sustainable growth of human resources. Mining Industry is a site-specific industry and rock excavation is challenging and different for each case. The geo-mining and geo-excavation system is varying with terrain conditions, socio-political situation, resource availability, and financial conditions. The optimization of the excavation system can bring the sustainability of the mining system. Optimization can be achieved by grasping the right technology. Therefore, understanding advanced technology is very important.
