SUMMARY:ATS QLD - Water Ingress in long TBM tunnels: its mitigation and control
DESCRIPTION:The 15km headrace tunnel for the Uma Oya project in Sri Lanka was excavated by double shield TBM and intersected large quantities of water. The study of this project with regards to better understanding the effects of the tunnel on the hydrogeology of the area\, identifying relevant in-tunnel investigation techniques\, and developing better pre-excavation and post excavation grouting systems is relevant to other long hard rock TBM projects. \nThe presentation will address why we need to limit the water ingress into tunnels under construction with regards to the potential effect on the environment with dewatering of surface and near surface aquifers\, the effect on the construction and its schedule\, and the methods available for prediction and control of ground water during tunnel excavation. \nThe paper will also present examples from other projects around the world – past completed projects\, projects under construction and future planned projects\, detailing how such hazards have been or will be treated. \nAbout the Speaker: \nDavid Lees has over 35 years experience in the design and construction of underground works\, both in mining and civil tunnelling\, with particular expertise in grouting and ground treatment. He has worked in over 14 countries around the world as both consultant and contractor. From August 2015 to August 2018 David was Chief Site Supervisor on a 15km TBM tunnel in Sri Lanka. The project had enormous projects with water ingress – up to 1000l/s from the face – causing heavy delays to the project and widespread social and environmental problems. David joined the project halfway through and took the opportunity whilst on the project to prepare a thesis for a PhD through the local university of Peradeniya. The presentation is based on his PhD thesis. \n\n\n\n\nDate: Thursday 7 November 2019 \nTime: 5.30pm to 7.30pm \nVenue: Hawken Auditorium\, Engineering House\, 447 Upper Edward St\, Spring Hill QLD 4000 \nCost: Free for Members & Students/$30 for Non-Members \nEvent Contact: EAQEvents@engineersaustralia.org.au \nClick here to see flyer \nClick here to register \n\nKindly Sponsored by:

SUMMARY:ATS QLD - Oberau Bypass Tunnel
DESCRIPTION:Delivered by experienced international Civil Engineer Erik Neun\, you will partake in an evening of discussion on the learnings from the Oberau Bypass Tunnel: A 3km-long project that underpasses various buildings\, and traverses alpine rock formations and grainy soil in Gießenbach Valley. \nDue to the possibility of a sudden rise of groundwater levels above the tunnel alignment in cases of heavy rainfall during tunnel excavation\, the installation of a groundwater lowering well gallery has been called for. \nConsideration has also been given to the impact of surface settlements caused by the tunnelling in the builtup area of Oberau. Based on an initial assessment of expected settlements\, compensation grouting has been foreseen for three buildings (two workshops with individual foundations and a residential building with a raft foundation). \nThe paper being discussed focuses on various aspects of the design and construction of the tunnel\, and the experience with and lessons learned from the project\, including limitations of FE modelling concerning the influence of specific tunnelling technics\, the compensation grouting\, and the optimisation of forward spiling. \n\n\n\n\nDate: Wednesday 21 August 2019 \nTime: 5.30pm to 7.00pm \nVenue: Hawken Auditorium\, Engineering House\, 447 Upper Edward St\, Spring Hill QLD 4000 \nCost:Free for Members & Students/$30 for Non-Members \nSpeakers: Erik Neun \nSession Contact: memberservices@engineersaustralia.org.au \nClick here to see flyer \nClick here to register

SUMMARY:ATS QLD - The Queensland Geotechnical Database
DESCRIPTION:The viability of any modern public geotechnical database is influenced by many factors\, including the availability of logs\, an area’s population density\, and seismic risk. The creation of a database may be constrained by questions of liability and intellectual property\, cost\, or by consultants who view a public database as working to their competitive disadvantage. \nThe Queensland Geotechnical Database (QDU; qgd.org.au) was launched in October 2017 with a view to consolidating primarily tax and toll payer subsidised exploratory hole logs into an open platform. The QGD now includes over 1600 geotechnical investigation logs dating back to 1966\, as well as links to over 20 technical papers related to sites in Queensland. \nThis presentation will discuss geotechnical databases around the world\, the process of creating the QGD and opportunities for its growth in support of development and research in Queensland. \nThe evening will feature keynote presentations from established professionals Tim Thompson (Geotechnical Engineer\, Arup) and Jared Priddle (Engineer and Software Developer\, FSG Geotechnics and Foundations)\, followed by designated discussion time in the end. \n  \nSpeakers\n\nTimothy Thompson | Geotechnical Engineer\, Arup\nAfter graduating from Purdue University\, Tim was a Peace Corps volunteer in Panama where he taught land surveying to high school students. He began with Arup in New York City before moving to London for three years to work on preparations for the 2012 Olympics. \nTim arrived in Brisbane in late 2009\, launching the Queensland Geotechnical Database (QGD) with Jared in 2017. \nCurrently\, Tim undertaking part-time research with the University of Queensland and was the AGS Queensland Chair in 2016 and 2017. \n  \n \nJared Priddle | Engineer and Software Developer\, FSG Geotechnics and Foundations Specialists \nBased out of Brisbane\, Jared was previously a civil design drafter before graduating from QUT in 2012 and has since then gained experience in the tendering\, investigation\, design\, construction\, and verification of building and infrastructure projects across Queensland and elsewhere. \nJared has a particular interest in GIS and programming and has applied his skills as the developer and co-founder of the Queensland Geotechnical Database. \n\n\n\n\nDate: 20th June 2019 \nTime: 5:30pm – 7:00pm \nVenue: Hawken Auditorium\, Engineering House\, 447 Upper Edward St\, Spring Hill QLD 4000 \nCost:  Free for Members & Students/$30 for Non-Members \nSession Contact: memberservices@engineersaustralia.org.au \nClick here for the flyer \nClick here to register \nKindly Sponsored by:
