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:

Brookvale would become a new satellite CBD\, with a 20-minute train available between there and Sydney CBD. \nAmongst other rail solutions part of the project that will be discussed on the night\, the rail upgrade would reduce urban traffic congestion\, and more broadly\, improve road safety by\nreducing the number of cars on the road. \nThe evening will feature light refreshments and networking from 5.30pm before the presentation\,\nquestions and discussions take place at 6.00pm. \nSpeaker: Ted Nye B. Eng(Civil) Dip. Eng(Civil) FIEAust CPEng NPER | Director\, E J Nye & Associates \nTed is a consultant specialising in underground engineering for transport-related projects. Commencing his career on the Melbourne Underground Rail\, Ted gained a host of experience abroad before moving to Sydney to undertake a role as Design Team Leader of the Sydney Harbour Tunnel project. \nOther experience includes the Sydney Airport Line\, Melbourne Metro\, road/bus tunnels in Brisbane\, and Sydney Metro Stage 1 (design). \n\n[/two_third][one_third last=”yes” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ class=”” id=””]Date: Thursday 9th May 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 \nSpeakers: Ted Nye \nSession Contact: memberservices@engineersaustralia.org.au \nClick here to see flyer \nClick here to register \n[/one_third]

In the year 2020 Dubai will host the World Expo\, consequently there is a range of infrastructure upgrades and construction in preparation. \nIn the year 2020 Dubai will host the World Expo\, consequently there is a range of infrastructure upgrades and construction in preparation. The Route 2020 Metro Project is an extension of the existing Dubai Metro Red Line\, consisting of a branch line starting at Nakheel Harbour and Tower Station and extending to the 2020 Expo Site. The 9.6m Diameter TBM was launched with only 2m of cover.  The Lining design for the tunnel is SFRC Segments however the launch section was designed for standard RC segments. Tunnelling commenced in October 2017 and was completed in June 2018 ahead of schedule\, marking a significant milestone on one of the region’s most economically significant projects. This presentation looks at the associated works including soil replacement\, de-watering and the series of pile and slab structures that enabled the tunnel to be launched at such shallow depths\, as well as the reasons why it was undertaken. \nSpeaker Daniel Garbutt CEng MICE FGS \nDan is a Senior Tunnel Engineer with GHD who previously had been working with CH2M/Jacobs in the Middle East and the UK. Dan started his career as a Graduate Geotechnical Engineer working on railway tunnel upgrades in the UK with URS\, now AECOM and subsequently built up his tunnel design experience with Jacobs working on some interesting projects such as London Power Cable Tunnels\, Crossrail\, R2020 and Etihad Rail. \n[/two_third][one_third last=”yes” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ class=”” id=””]Date: Thursday 4th April 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 \nSpeakers: Daniel Garbutt CEng MICE FGS \nSession Contact: memberservices@engineersaustralia.org.au \nClick here to see flyer \nClick here to register \n[/one_third]

SUMMARY:ATSym QLD - The David Sugden Award 2018
DESCRIPTION:Join Young Members of the Australian Tunnelling Society for an evening of informative presentations from the top three papers of the 2018 David Sugden Award. \nProudly provided by the Australian Tunnelling Society Young Members\, the authors of the top three David Sugden Writing Award winning entries will present a summary of their paper and provide insights into the award itself\, including the value of technical development and mentoring in tunnelling. \nSo\, who is David Sugden? \nDavid Sugden was the driving force behind the successful design of mechanical full-face rock excavation machinery over a number of years\, resulting in the forging of countless tunnels across the world. David continually showed a commitment to innovation and design throughout his career\, often custom making machinery to solve problems that arose and for which no existing devices were available or appropriate. As a result of this attitude\, David is listed as the inventor on over 40 patents. \nDavid was been recognised for his contribution to tunnelling and the mentoring of young engineers involved in the field in the form of the Allen Neyland Tunnelling Achievement Award in 1996\, an Order of Australia in 2002\, and the 2003 A.G.M. Michell Award for his outstanding contribution to Australian Mechanical Engineering. \nIn 2004\, the Australian Tunnelling Society started the David Sugden Award to encourage young engineers to develop the art of technical writing. \nPlease see flyer for information regarding the presenters. \n\n\n\n\nDate: Thursday 28th March 2019 \nTime: 5:30pm \nVenue: \nAdvanced Engineering Building \nBuilding 49\, The University of Queensland\, Staff House Rd\, St Lucia QLD 4072 \nRoom 49-313A \nhttps://goo.gl/maps/D7bEJ3p9G5L2 \nCost:  Free for Members & Students/$30 for Non-Members \nSpeakers: Matt Bennett\, Aaron Lippett\, Brodie Aitchison \nSession Contact: memberservices@engineersaustralia.org.au \nClick here to see flyer \nClick here to register
