Environmental and Land Engineering: Geo-Engineering

Traditionally Geo-Engineering is a discipline which provides the basis of soil and rock behavior for the development of the built environment. Geo-Engineering is therefore the primary basis for approach to design, planning but also construction and maintenance of infrastructures and other interventions that interfere with the geological environment underground and on surface, such as for example roads, tunnels, bridges, rails, buildings, and other types of utilities.The Geo-Engineering Programme at Politecnico di Torino provides education in the disciplines of geoscience and construction and seeks to engage with sustainable urbanization and with an optimal use of natural resources also in the framework of climate change consequences.
