This article was written in collaboration with Jacob Grasmick, principal at Emprise Concepts LLC, and outlines a framework for integrating geostatistics into project management to aid better planning, procurement, and construction outcomes in tunnelling projects, and mitigate commercial losses.Read more
Tunneling projects face challenges due to uncertainties in ground conditions and geotechnical interpretations.
Geostatisticsal analysis is an effective tool that can be used to quantify these uncertainties, and give a more objective method for assessing and managing ground risks throughout the project lifecycle.
This enables clearer communication and more accurate understanding of risks across all stakeholders.
