ABOUT
Mastering DeepEX – Professional Training for Deep Excavation Design
In this corporate workshop, your engineering team will gain a complete understanding of deep excavation design and the full capabilities of DeepEX—the industry-leading software for shoring and excavation analysis. Starting from essential theory and simple examples to advanced excavation simulations, this session bridges fundamentals with real-world application.
Participants will learn to confidently model, analyze, and optimize excavation systems, unlocking the full potential of DeepEX to deliver efficient, safe, and cost-effective designs.
FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE:
This hands-on workshop combines design principles with powerful software training. Participants will:
Refresh their understanding of deep excavation design concepts and global standards
Learn to model and analyze braced, anchored, and multi-level excavations using DeepEX
Simulate staged construction and soil-structure interaction with practical examples
Explore real case studies and discover time-saving automation tools
Master reporting, interpretation, and optimization techniques within DeepEX
Gain the confidence to apply DeepEX effectively in everyday engineering practice
