I am not an engineer, but they are digging major highway tunnels near my home. I watched a couple of his tunneling lectures, and I found them fascinating, now able to understand a lot of what is being done.
This man have a level of calmness like no other.. I started seeing some of his lectures in search of some good information, but was stunned by his strongly calming influence. Just playing his lectures as a background noise is like a really good "anti-stress tape" =) That must be a highly valuable skill when working big and dangerous projects in stressful environments with a lot of people and things that can go wrong. "Keep calm like Evert Hoek" that should be an industry-standard =)
A lot of wisdom and a lot of generosity in sharing it ... and also a kind person.

These kinds of person are unique in the history of the world and I am lucky to say I have meet him and living at the same time as him.
great work, thank you. There is a long way for me to learn
Words of legend should garner more attention than this! Evert Hoek revolutionized the field, GO HOEK!
It is a wake up call to today's researchers in Tunnelling, who have no exposure to a tunnel nor they know any geology and they do numerical modelling
