This book brings together in one place as much factual data as possible relating to the engineering geology of the Sydney Region, A huge amount of information resides in the files of various consulting and government organizations from the innumerable site investigations and construction projects in Sydney. This information brought together provides a data source that is the first point of reference for future investigations and construction projects. With the above object in mind subject headings were established based on the stratigraphic sequence of the Sydney Basin. Invitations were extended to potential authors with expertise and experience in these subjects and after some two years, the papers in this volume were produced. Engineering Geology of the Sydney Region is produced by a committee. As such it has the advantage of canvassing a broad range of opinion and experience. A data source has been produced for geotechnical engineers and engineering geologists working in or having a particular interest in the Sydney Region.

These conference proceedings address the wide range of geotechnical issues associated with urban development. Part one of the book is devoted to the use of tunnelling to provide infrastructure in areas where intense development has taken place at ground surface or where physical conditions would otherwise hinder further development. Part two examines other geotechnical factors associated with a rapidly developing urban environment and highlights the extent of the geotechnical - and related- hazards that must be overcome for development to be successful.
