SUMMARY:ATS WEBINAR - Hydrogeology in Underground Design and Construction
DESCRIPTION:The importance of the groundwater in underground construction is sometimes underestimated\, but is one of the most important aspects to consider in planning\, design and construction.  Characterising groundwater behaviour in rock is difficult\, because of the variability that is often seen in test results. This variability can be described using simple statistical techniques. The presentation describes the issues that arise from groundwater in underground techniques. One technique that is used to control these issues is pre-grouting; the presentation describes a methodology for predicting some of the key parameters. \nHarry Asche  BE(Civil)\, PhD\, MIEAust\, CPEng\, MICE\, CEng\, RPEQ\nDesign Director\, Tunnels\, Aurecon \nAdjunct Professor\, School of Civil Engineering\, University of Queensland \nPresident\, Australian Tunnelling Society \nHarry Asche is Aurecon’s Design Director – Tunnels.  He is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Queensland and is the President of the Australian Tunnelling Society.    Harry has worked on tunnels and caverns in Australia\, New Zealand\, Hong Kong and the UK.  He worked on the South Island Line\, Contracts 901 and 904\, and carried out the groundwater inflow analysis and the 3D cavern design for both of these projects.  More recently\, Harry has been the tunnel discipline leader for the 9km WestConnex 2 project in Sydney and the hydrogeology advisor for the 2km Central Kowloon Route in Hong Kong.  In 2018\, Harry was Queensland’s Engineer of the Year and was awarded the Roads Australia Technical Excellence Award in 2018.

SUMMARY:ATS WEBINAR - BIM and TBM Tunnel Project Along the Lifecycle
DESCRIPTION:BIM is the digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a building\, piece of physical infrastructure or environment. BIM serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about an asset throughout its lifecycle—supporting decision making—from strategic appraisal and planning\, design and construction to operation\, maintenance and renewal. \nBIM enables a collaborative way of working using digital processes to enable more productive methods of planning\, designing\, constructing\, operating and maintaining assets through their lifecycle. \nGovernments in Australia recognise the importance of BIM in the delivery and management of infrastructure assets as it offers many benefits throughout the asset lifecycle and has the potential to drive efficiency\, value for money\, productivity\, innovation and safety. (source: QLD Gov – Digital Enablement for Queensland Infrastructure). \nSpeakers\n \nJordan Haimes | Community Engagement Officer\, Cross River Rail \nJordan is currently working as a Community Engagement Officer with the Cross River Rail Delivery Authority on the delivery of the $5.4B Cross River Rail project. In this role\, he assists with project management and the fit out of the Cross River Rail Experience Centre. \n \nVincenza Floria | Design and Project Manager \, Geodata Eng \nVincenza is a Civil Engineer with 28 years’ experience\, out of which over 18 are matured at Geodata and 10 on Digital Engineering and R&D. She became a specialist in numerical modeling starting from her M.Sc. thesis and she is now lecturer at the II level Master ‘”Tunnelling and TBMs” Politecnico di Torino (course: Numerical Design). At Geodata\, she brought her experience in numerical modelling into the design of international infrastructure projects. Since 2015\, Vincenza has been involved with some important projects in Australia (Perth\, Melbourne and Brisbane). She is currently Design Manager for Geodata Eng. of TBM tunnel and cross-passages in CRR project in Brisbane. \n \nNeil Tyson | Business Development Manager\, Deswik Group \nWith business development and strategy at the core of his role\, Neil has key interests in safety leadership and complex systems risk management which are vital for effective catastrophic risk management\, and to improve from the current plateau in safety performance in the mining industry. \nJurij Karlovsek | Lecturer\, University of Queensland \nJurij has experience both in industry and academia\, with his road area of expertise lying in Geotechnical Engineering – specifically\, conventional and mechanised tunnelling\, construction information technology and non-destructive testing in tunnels. As a representative of the University of Queensland\, he works hard to engage with the community by creating and implementing associations that seek to inform\, educate and empower young professional tunnelling engineers.

SUMMARY:Recent Innovations in Ground Support in Sydney Road Tunnels
DESCRIPTION:This event is a joint presentation by the ATS and the Australian Geomechanics Society. Click through the link on the right to register. \nOverview\nThe increased demand to future-proof tunnel projects with respect to long term traffic predictions has led to the proposal of some exceptionally large span tunnels in recent road projects in Australia. For example\, some of the current projects have main line tunnels with continuous excavated spans up to 22 m\, besides other enlarged sections and Y-junction caverns that approach 34 m in span.  These projects do not come without their challenges particularly when they are also combined with a very tight construction programme. David and Mark will present some of their experiences in recent projects in Australia and how some of these challenges were tackled via innovative design solutions. The presenters will discuss developments around design delivery strategies\, spaceproofing\, excavation sequences\, ground support for large tunnels\, shotcrete design and its associated quality control challenges\, and more. \nSpeakers\nDavid Oliveria | Jabobs – Technical Director\nDr David Oliveira is a Technical Director for Asia Pacific and Global Subject Matter Expert in Hard Rock Tunnelling at Jacobs Engineering Group. He has over 20 years in the civil\, geotechnical and tunnelling industry and has been involved on a broad range of projects varying from complex open pit and deep and highly stressed underground mines to major infrastructure projects in a variety of ground conditions and challenging urban environments. \nMark Sheffield | Aurecon – Technical Director\nMark is a Technical Director for the Infrastructure Group at Aurecon. He has over 30 years in tunnelling and heavy civil engineering. He has been involved with major underground projects around the world from feasibility and concept design through to implementation and construction systems in a variety of ground conditions and challenging urban environments. \n

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
