AbstractRock excavation is often the part of the project that leads to the greatest cost overruns, variation claims, arbitration or even litigation (Braybrooke 1988). To minimise this risk, it is prudent that geotechnical/geological and geophysical outputs are calibrated each other for better definition of subsurface ground conditions. Each excavation assessment technique has its own set of pros and cons as shown in the above example. Care must be taken when dealing with the rockfill and the rock mass which consists of hard (or stronger) rock with large void since the conventional excavatability assessment techniques may overestimate the excavatability requirements. © 2024 6th Asia Pacific Meeting on Near Surface Geoscience and Engineering: Smart Technologies Kind to the Planet.
