Hulme Prize 2017

This year, I was privileged to get two of my papers shortlisted for the annual competition for the best technical papers from young engineers on subjects  associated with tunnelling and underground construction. The three papers shortlisted for this year are:


  • Mined Tunnel Monitoring as a Part of Observational Approach – a Case Study 

  • Latest Development in Horizontal Grouting for Cross Passages in Thomson East Coast Line C1-C2 
    • By Ms Jasmine Lim, Land Transport Authority

Presentation of the shortlisted papers were held on 17th August 2017 at the SMRT Auditorium and prizes for the winners were distributed during TUCSS Annual Lecture at Stephen Riady Auditorium At One Marina Boulevard, Singapore. The first paper was presented by my co-author and I presented the second paper (summary of the paper is available in my previous post).



The Hulme Prize was set up by TUCSS in 1999 in honour of Mr. Terry Hulme, Honorary Member of  TUCSS,  for  his  outstanding  contribution  to  TUCSS  and  Tunnelling  in  Singapore. It  is  an  annual competition  for  the  best  technical  paper and the winners are presented with a cash prize and citation.
