🌟Thematic Course on Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering – by Dr Nick Barton, Jointly organized by the HKIE Geotechnical Division (HKIE-GD), IOM3-HK, and HKU Department of Earth Sciences🌟

We are excited to announce that we have invited Dr. Nick Barton, recognizably the most world-leading rock engineering expert today, to deliver an exclusive technical lecture in Hong Kong physically. Dr. Barton is best known for developing the NGI Q-system 50 years ago, which remains the primary rock mass classification system for rock tunnels and caverns excavation in Hong Kong.
