Scorching Sun for True Knowledge, Hands-on Training for Growth | Faculty and Students from China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) Visit SINOROCK to Participate in an Introductory Practical Training Program
Release time：2026-07-16
In the sweltering summer, students hone their knowledge and strengthen their skills through hands-on training. To bridge the gap between theoretical learning and engineering practice, deepen their professional understanding, and enhance their practical abilities, recently three faculty mentors and more than 70 second-year undergraduates from China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) embarked on an immersive field‑based introductory internship at SINOROCK. This training program encompassed two major disciplines: Urban Underground Space Engineering and Civil Engineering (Underground Structures).
In the sweltering summer, students hone their knowledge and strengthen their skills through hands-on training. To bridge the gap between theoretical study and engineering practice, deepen their professional understanding, and enhance their practical abilities, recently three supervising faculty members and more than 70 second-year undergraduates from China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) embarked on an immersive field‑based introductory internship at SINOROCK. The program encompassed two major disciplines: Urban Underground Space Engineering and Civil Engineering (Underground Structures). Undeterred by the scorching heat, the faculty and students engaged in focused, in‑depth learning throughout the entire experience, successfully completing all assigned tasks under the meticulous guidance of SINOROCK’s expert team.
Intense Summer Challenges: Deeply Cultivating Real-World, Hands-On Training Classes
In the height of summer, under the scorching sun and persistently high temperatures at the SINOROCK experimental testing model-pile site, the arduous outdoor working conditions put every faculty member and student to the test. Despite these demanding circumstances, SINOROCK’s technical team remained steadfast on the front lines, upholding a rigorous and dedicated work ethic and demonstrating solid, professional expertise to provide comprehensive support throughout the process—ensuring that Tsinghua University’s faculty and students enjoy a high‑quality hands‑on learning experience.
This practical training session was led and guided by three faculty members from the School of Engineering at China University of Geosciences (Wuhan)—Li Xueping, Yan Tianjun, and Zhang Peng. Focusing on the talent‑development needs of two major disciplines—Urban Underground Engineering and Civil Engineering (Underground Structures)—the program leverages real‑world, on‑site scenarios in industry to enable students to move beyond textbooks and engage directly with professional practice, thereby helping them strengthen their disciplinary foundations and align with industry realities.
Hands-on Empowerment: Unlocking Core Testing Technologies
This hands-on training is closely aligned with the core competencies of the discipline, focusing on two key practical modules: quality inspection of bored piles and integrity testing of foundation piles using the sonic transmission method. All demonstration equipment used on-site are testing instruments independently developed by SINOROCK, including the RSM-HGT(E) ultrasonic borehole quality‑inspection system and the RSM-SY8(C) ultrasonic CT imaging tester for foundation piles. Drawing on real‑world engineering case studies, SINOROCK’s technical experts clearly explained construction procedures, key aspects of site investigation, relevant building codes, and safety guidelines, while providing a comprehensive demonstration of the entire workflow—from equipment operation and data acquisition to image analysis. Thanks to their outstanding features—high precision, portability, and ease of use—the in‑house‑developed devices efficiently carried out the training demonstrations, vividly illustrating the intelligent advantages of modern engineering testing and earning unanimous approval from both the supervising instructors and all participating students.
Research-Based Learning and Collaborative Advancement: Strengthening the Synergy Between Schools and Enterprises in Education
During the hands-on training and interactive Q&A session, technical experts from SINOROCK drew on years of frontline experience to provide tailored answers to a wide range of questions raised by faculty and students—covering equipment operation, engineering challenges, industry trends, and more. Their insights effectively addressed gaps in students’ theoretical knowledge and helped them gain a clear understanding of the key technical competencies required for engineering roles as well as emerging industry developments. The RSM team’s commitment to excellence and their pragmatic, meticulous craftsmanship left the attendees deeply inspired and filled with admiration.
This training session concluded successfully, effectively addressing students’ practical skill gaps, reinforcing their academic achievements, and further deepening the collaborative education partnership between China University of Geosciences and SINOROCK. Moving forward, both parties will continue to strengthen their cooperation, leveraging the enterprise’s advanced technologies and state-of-the-art equipment to conduct regular hands-on training activities, thereby empowering applied‑oriented talent development and contributing more high‑quality professionals to the underground engineering sector.
