Details	:	Utility surveying is an evolving discipline in Hong Kong as there is increasing demand about locating and diagnosing the densely populated underground utilities. Since open-up is never favorable, different non-destructive/near-surface geophysical evaluation technologies based on wave propagations are always preferred. This seminar will provide an introduction of these technologies and applications to ‘see through the unseen’.
