Subject: Short Course on Geotechnical Investigation for Structural Engineering to be held
at IIT Gandhinagar during 15th – 17th October, 2015
Dear Sir:
I enclose herewith a brochure for the above course. Since the insight to geotechnical investigation plays an extremely important role in safe and economical design of structures, we believe that this course may prove very useful to engineers interested in design and construction of buildings and other infrastructures.
In the past, the course instructors have been very successfully conducted numerous training courses on such topics for professional engineers. All the courses were very much appreciated by the participants.
We therefore suggest that you consider sponsoring some of your engineers to this course.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Amit Prashant
