This book provides an introduction to the whole engineering process of designing and constructing deep excavations in rock, including caverns, tunnels, shafts, and pits.

The process is comprehensively covered from initial site planning, through design considerations such as the assessment of rock mass properties, the closure of contracts and resolution of disputes, and lastly onto the maintenance and final decommissioning or repurposing of underground facilities. The subject material is derived from the author's extensive practice, with reference to successful projects and cases where things went wrong.

Written accessibly and starting from the basics, Rock Engineering for Excavations serves as a comprehensive and practical guide for undergraduate and master's students, as well as non-specialist project managers.

John Endicott is a Fellow of AECOM and the Institution of Civil Engineers, as well as an adjunct professor at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and at the University of Hong Kong, and a Fellow Commoner at St Catharine's College, Cambridge. In professional practice, he has been based in Hong Kong since 1975 and has specialised in the design of underground structures and slope stability. His projects have included many metros in major cities in Southeast Asia, totalling more than 100 underground stations and tunnels, and many other tunnels for road, rail and utilities, and caverns in rock.
