Learn how to analyze when the chosen terrain is appropriate in the long term for the objective set with this TECH Postgraduate certificate” 

The Postgraduate certificate in Improvement of Geotechnical Properties and Land Treatments is academically designed to provide a deep knowledge, based on advanced concepts already acquired in the world of civil engineering and from a practical application point of view, of the most important geotechnical aspects that can be found in different types of civil works. 

On many occasions, when observing the geotechnical characteristics of the ground on which it is desired to act, the characteristics of the same, its current state, or its expected long-term behavior is not appropriate for the purpose set. 

The field of ground treatments is in constant evolution as the progress in the execution techniques and the materials used makes it an aspect in constant evolution. 
This Postgraduate certificate will present the definition of the treatments according to their typology, drilling, injection, chemical treatment, as well as the capacity of improvement of the ground that each one of them provides. Their different applications and the convenience of each one will be analyzed, depending on the conditions of the land to be treated and the work to be carried out. 

Therefore, the Postgraduate certificate in Improvement of Geotechnical Properties and Land Treatments integrates the most complete and innovative educational program in the current market in terms of knowledge and latest available technologies, as well as encompassing all the sectors or parties involved in this field. Likewise, the Postgraduate certificate is made up of exercises based on real cases of situations currently managed or previously faced by the teaching team.

All this, throughout a 100% online learning that provides the student with the ease of being able to take it wherever and whenever they want. You will only need a device with internet access, and you will be able to access a universe of knowledge that will be the main basis for engineers to position themselves in a sector that is increasingly demanded by companies in various sectors.
