Engineering Geology for Infrastructure Planning in Europe

Geologists and civil engineers related to infrastructure planning, design and building describe professional practices and engineering geological methods in different European infrastructure projects.

Professional practices: cooperation/competition between geologists and engineers; education requirements; standardisation (ISO, CEN, etc.). - Engineering geological methods: digital characterisation and modeling of the subsurface; new developments in site investigation; testing and performance monitoring. - Infrastructure projects (case studies): inner-city projects; European traffic routes; mining projects; redevelopment and reclamation of land.
