💡 Why is this important?

A metro is not just about digging tunnels.

It is about:

🧠 The science of understanding the “behavior” of soil

⚖️ Precise analysis of the stability of slopes, excavations, and foundations

🌍 Engineering the underground environment to be safe and reliable over the long term

👉 The key “tool” for addressing these challenges is PLAXIS, a globally recognized geotechnical software program.

🚀 What is our team studying?

✔️ Detailed assessment of geotechnical risks in metro tunneling

✔️ Realistic modeling of underground structures

✔️ Predictive safety analysis for each stage of construction

✔️ Methods for adapting international best practices to Mongolian conditions

🌏 International experience — brought to Mongolia

🎤 Key speaker:

William Cheang

(Director of Geotechnical Solutions for the APAC region, Seequent / Bentley)

👉 He is presenting solutions that are directly applied in major tunnel and infrastructure projects around the world.

🏙 Why is this important for Ulaanbaatar?

The soil and geological conditions of Ulaanbaatar are highly complex, with:

multiple soil layers,

freeze-thaw effects,

and significant variations in groundwater conditions.

👉 Therefore, conventional engineering alone is not sufficient for metro construction.

👉 High-precision analysis and simulation are essential.

🎯 Our goal: to implement the Ulaanbaatar Metro Project in a way that is:

✔️ Safe

✔️ Science-based

✔️ Aligned with international standards
