🌟 Our two-day lectures “Hong Kong: Rock Engineering and Rock Mechanics with Q Emphasis” by Dr. Nick Barton was successfully held on 16–17 January 2026, attracting around 160 enthusiastic participants from across Hong Kong’s construction community. 🎉👏

Jointly organised by the HKIE Geotechnical Division, IOM3 Hong Kong Branch, and the HKU Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences, the event provided a valuable platform for professional exchange and learning in rock mechanics and rock engineering. Dr. Barton shared his world-renowned expertise through focused lectures covering Q-system interpretation from GI data, compelling case records from cavern projects, good practices in groundwater control, and the practical use of numerical modelling. Participants gained fresh insights into the evolution of the Q-system over more than 50+ years, including its extensions and real-world implementation in complex projects. 🌍🔍

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Dr. Nick Barton for his inspiring delivery, as well as to our sponsors (AECOM, AMS, AIS, ARUP, AtkinsRéalis, Aurecon, Binnies and Mott MacDonald), supporting organisations, organising committee members, and all MCs and helpers for their strong support in making this event possible. Our thanks also go to all participants for their active engagement, insightful questions, and enthusiastic discussions throughout the course. 💪🌟

Together, we continue to strengthen Hong Kong’s professional community in rock mechanics and rock engineering, fostering knowledge sharing, collaboration, and innovation for future underground infrastructure development.

Stay tuned for more updates and future events! 🚀📚
