Program
Based on the central theme " Underground space at the heart of transitions ", this congress is an opportunity for all underground promoters and actors (decision-makers, project owners, developers, urban planners, infrastructure managers, designers, builders, suppliers, etc.) to share their experiences and projects and to contribute to the following themes :
Thème A - The development of underground space to meet new needs and facilitate transitions. |
Thème B - Changes in performance requirements, project management and the design of underground spaces and structures. |
Thème C - Feedback, technological innovations, achieving the objective of carbon neutrality in underground construction. |
Thème D - Strategies for establishing underground structures. |
