Engineering Geological Models – Traditional and Digital Approaches

Title:
“Engineering Geological Models – Traditional and Digital Approaches”

Duration:
Full-day (9:00 AM – 4:00 PM, 26 November 2025)

Overview:
This one-day workshop offers a deep dive into the development and application of Engineering Geological Models (EGMs), blending traditional geological interpretation with modern digital tools. Based on the IAEG Commission 25 (C25- Engineering Geological Models) Guidelines, the workshop is designed to equip participants with practical skills and insight into model building for real-world geotechnical projects.

Workshop Objectives:
To deliver a practical understanding of EGMs as essential tools for engineering geologists, while highlighting the evolution from traditional mapping to advanced digital visualization ensuring geological risks are better communicated and managed in engineering design.

Key Themes Covered:

• C25 Guidelines Methodology: A foundational lecture introducing the structured approach to building EGMs as recommended by IAEG.
• Hands-On Modelling Exercise: Guided development of an EGM for a water storage project to apply learned principles.
• Software Application: Demonstration of digital tools used to implement C25 EGM methods in 2D and 3D environments.
• Worked Examples: Review of actual dam and hydropower projects showcasing how EGMs influence design and risk mitigation.
• Interactive Discussion: Closing session for reflections, questions, and expert insights.
