SUMMARY:Site visit: fire suppression condition monitoring at AirportLink
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nRoad tunnels have design lives of 50-100 years\, with Mechanical\, Electrical and Fire assets having design lives of only 5-25 years. Managing deterioration that triggers changes in condition and performance is essential to enable the fire safety strategy defined in the Fire Engineering Report\, as well as to identify need for amending it as both technology\, technical and legal requirements change. This presentation will present a project in which the condition of the combined fire mains in an established road tunnel (AirportLink) was assessed through non-destructive techniques (NDT) to inform the asset manager of the expected service life remaining\, which in turn informs both short- and long-term investment. The presentation will be followed by a visit to the tunnel during a maintenance closure to discuss some of the drivers and challenges of the project arising from the available maintenance windows and the physical layout of the system. \nThis site visit is targeted primarily towards young engineers\, however we do welcome all engineers. \nProgram timeline\n6.30pm – Registration\, safety check and brief introduction. \n7.30pm – Fire mains condition assessment presentation \n9.00pm – Maintenance toolbox \n10:30pm – Tunnel closes for access \n10:45pm – Group tunnel walk \n12:30am – Group exits tunnel and wrap up \n1:00am – Site visit concludes \nThis site visit concludes after midnight and the timetable may be subject to change depending on traffic conditions. \nMinimum PPE requirements\nAttendees are required to have full PPE for participation\, including: \n\nLong Trousers – 2 Reflective Stripes\nLong Sleeve Shirt – Reflective Stripes\nClear Safety Glasses\nHard Hat (in Date)\nGloves\nLaced Up Steel Capped Boots (Secured & Fitted)\nHearing Protection\n\nAttendees that do not comply with the minimum PPE requirement will not be admitted on the day. \nPlease Note: Mandatory alcohol testing and random drug testing will be conducted upon arrival.  \nAbout the speaker\n\n\n\nJaime Cadena Gomez\nPrincipal Engineer\, Fire Safety\n\nJaime Cadena Gomez is an engineering professional with 17 years of experience understanding and managing operational risks and performance of critical infrastructure. Currently\, he is the Principal Asset Engineer for Fire Safety across a network of 16 road tunnels in Australia.

SUMMARY:Conversations that connect: mentors & mentees
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nTransform the way you connect with your mentor or mentee. This interactive hybrid workshop (featuring innovative ‘watch parties’ in Sydney\, Melbourne and Brisbane) focuses on moving beyond surface-level networking to purposeful\, engaging conversations that build lasting value. It is being delivered by the ATS Diversity Group’s cutting edge Mentor Alliance Program. \nParticipants will learn how to design effective discussion frameworks\, apply practical networking strategies\, and co-create ideas for future mentor–mentee catch-ups. Led by an online expert and supported by local facilitators in Melbourne\, Sydney\, and Brisbane\, the session features hands-on activities that spark meaningful\, structured dialogue. \nJoin fellow mentors and mentees in your local hub to deepen connections\, strengthen your mentoring relationships\, and help shape how the Mentor Alliance connects in the future. \nWhile it is a Mentor Alliance event\, it is open to everyone within ATS. \nNOTE – This exciting event is intended to be delivered by Patricia online to ‘watch parties’ in Melbourne\, Sydney and Brisbane’s EA offices\, so people can connect and use these as “breakout rooms.” We urge you to attend one of these watch parties in person as you’ll get more out of the experience that way.  \nLearning outcomes\nIn this presentation\, you will learn: \n\nFramework Design: Learn how to select and structure discussion starters that move beyond small talk to deep engagement\nApply Networking Strategies: Practice hands-on techniques for sparking meaningful\, structured dialogue within the Mentor Alliance community\nFuture Collaboration: Be part of creating ideas for future catch ups between you and your mentor/mentee.\n\nProgram\nIn-person: \n\n5.30 pm AEST: Registrations open\n6.00 pm AEST: Presentation begins\n6.45 pm AEST: Q&A session\n7.00 pm AEST: Presentation ends\n7.30 pm AEST: Event ends\n\nOnline: \n\n6.00 pm AEST: Webinar begins\n6.45 pm AEST: Q&A session\n7.00 pm AEST: Webinar ends\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\nUnfortunately\, Patricia Kaziro (who was originally scheduled to lead the session) is unwell\, but we’re pleased to share that our ATS QLD Chair\, Annalena Chapman\, will now be stepping in to lead both the presentation and the event. This will be a valuable and insightful discussion under Annalena’s guidance\, and we strongly encourage attending in person with us.
