SUMMARY:Digitalisation and automation in tunnels
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nGain an understanding of how BIM enables a collaborative way of working using digital processes to enable more productive methods of operating and maintaining assets through their lifecycle. \nAbout the event\nBuilding Information Modelling (BIM) in Tunnelling is the digital representation of physical infrastructure and functional characteristics. BIM serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about an asset throughout its lifecycle. Information modelling in tunnelling includes supporting decision making and encompasses strategic appraisal and planning. Modelling supports design\, construction to operation\, maintenance and renewal. Information modelling systems allow us to deliver quality engineering to owners and contractors. The process requires skills\, tools\, and robust procedures. For the entire tunnelling community to take advantage of this\, it is of paramount importance to share\, educate and implement experiences\, standards and guidelines\, which are driven by the build industry. \nThis presentation will provide insights into: \n\nBest practice in international and domestic applications\, cross-disciplinary initiatives\, and future thinking where digitalisation in underground tunnelling and the future\nUnderstanding of how BIM enables a collaborative way of working\nProductive methods of planning\, designing and constructing\nOperating and maintaining assets through their lifecycle\n\nEvent program and locations\nPresentation to conclude for all attendees at 7:30 pm AEDT. \nBrisbane – online \n\n5.30 pm AEST – Presentation\n6.30 pm AEST – Presentation to conclude for all attendees\n\nSydney – online \n\n6.30 pm AEDT – Presentation\n7.30 pm AEDT – Presentation to conclude for all attendees\n\nOnline – via Webex details will be sent upon registration. \n\n6:30pm AEDT – Presentation\n\nAbout the speaker\nDr Jurij Karlovsek\nDeputy Director\nSustainable Infrastructure Research Hub Lecturer\, Geotechnical Engineering \nDr Jurij Karlovsek is an engineer\, researcher\, and educator at The University of Queensland\, Brisbane Australia. Jurij has a broad area of expertise in Geotechnical Engineering with the main specialty in infrastructure projects\, especially the development of sustainable underground space. Jurij focuses on the digital enablement of infrastructure to deliver applications of digital engineering\, asset information modelling\, and construction. His current position is the deputy director of a UQ Sustainable Infrastructure Research Hub\, with a lead focus on digitalisation for a sustainable infrastructure future.

SUMMARY:Design and construction of immersed tube tunnels
DESCRIPTION:About the event\nThis type of tunnelling solution is usually favoured for harbour and sub-sea environments due to its shallow depth below the seabed\, that allows shorter tunnel lengths and better connections to the road network at both ends of the subsea section. \nIn addition\, the shape of an immersed tunnel is flexible to fit different projects. This form of tunnelling is where our speaker has spent most of his career as an engineer. He often gets asked how to connect watertight boxes in a chain together\, some nearly as tall as a three-story building\, in waters as deep as 50 metres. \nThis is one of the reasons why CK Tsang enjoys designing immersed tunnels; the seemingly impossible nature of the task\, but the immense benefit it brings to cities by connecting its people between their destinations. Its status really becomes an invisible landmark for a city.

SUMMARY:Challenges of tunnelling in an urban area with shallow cover
DESCRIPTION:Join 2019 David Sugden award winner Senthilnath GT for an Australian Geomechanics Society webinar on the challenges of tunnelling in an urban area with shallow cover. \nWith 13 years of international consulting experience across Australia\, Singapore\, India and the UAE Senthilnath has been involved in many major projects. During this talk he will draw pm examples from these projects including the Brisbane Metro\, Victoria’s West Gate Tunnel and Queensland’s Cross River Rail. \nHe was also a co-author of the Tunnel Design Guideline\, recently released by the Australian Tunnelling Society. \nThe talk will take place on June 22. Find more information on the event on the Australian Geomechanics Society’s website.

SUMMARY:2019 David Sugden Award - Sentilnath GT
DESCRIPTION:The David Sugden Award was launched in 2004 as a way of promoting the art of technical writing with young tunnellers. The winning paper prize includes attendance to the following years WTC. For more details click through the link below. \n \nThis webinar presents design and construction issues of two pedestrian tunnels from Thomson Line metro in Singapore which were built below two operating metro lines. Two tunnels with cross-sectional area ranging from 50m2 to 85m2 are excavated below an existing operational rail tunnel (with vertical clearance of less than 2.7m) and below an operational metro station. The tunnel excavation below the operational metro tunnel is carried out using pipe roof method and the tunnel excavation below the existing station base slab is carried out by underpinning the structure as the excavation progressed. \nSpeaker\nSentilnath GT | Senior Tunnel Engineering\, GHD\nAs a Chartered civil engineer\, Senthil has 12 years of experience in diversified geotechnical projects such as TBM and SEM/NATM Tunnels\, excavation support system (for mining and urban development projects) and site supervision. He has worked on wide range of tunnelling projects (soft ground\, hard rock\, deep caverns) with project experience in Australia\, Singapore\, UAE\, India\, Malaysia and Indonesia. \n

SUMMARY:Segmental Linings - What's New
DESCRIPTION:Discover new developments and implementations of segmental linings in this informed presentation by Jacobs’ Technical Director for Tunnels\, Anthony Harding. \nThousands of kilometres of precast concrete segmental linings are erected behind TBMs every year. The industry is full of suppliers\, designers\, and contractors looking to use them in new ways\, to reduce costs\, and improve performance. Jacobs’ Technical Director for Tunnels Asia-Pacific\, Anthony Harding has recently teamed up with Arup’s Jon Hurt in New York to compile a list of some of the most important developments in this field\, gathering some experiences of implementing them. \nSpeaker\n  \nAnthony Harding | Technical Director for Tunnels Asia-Pacific at Jacobs \nGaining his degree and PhD from Edinburgh University\, Anthony joined Halcrow (now part of CH2M) in London in 2000where he worked on a wide range of tunnel projects across the road\, rail\, power and water industries. His experience covers TBM and conventional tunnelling\, including the design of new tunnels and assessment of existing tunnels and other assets impacted by tunnelling. \nAnthony has acted in roles as technical manager and reviewer for multidisciplinary designs\, usually within design-build environments. He has a particular interest in TBM tunnelling and has been involved in over 25 TBM tunnelling projects\, including more than five large-diameter tunnels\, many of which have been steel fibre reinforced.
