Mapping out an efficient digital workflow to optimize design procedures and best utilize the available data is a challenge for geotechnical and tunneling professionals, especially in North America. This webinar aims to provide the participants with practical insights into implementing a “digital first” strategy that supports active risk management throughout tunnel project lifecycle. The session will highlight key aspects of the strategy – intelligent geotechnical data management, best practices for data analytics and visualizations, 3D digital ground models, ground uncertainty characterization, and robust data preservation practices. The webinar will provide attendees with actionable steps for implementing digital workflows that transform fragmented data into cohesive knowledge systems supporting informed decision-making. Actual case studies demonstrating how these approaches have reduced costs, minimized risks, and improved stakeholder communication on major tunneling projects will be presented. The takeaways are expected to empower the attendees to champion digital transformation in their own tunnel projects, driving better outcomes for all stakeholders.
