This results in a range of geotechnical challenges for cut and cover excavations\, tunnelling\, and managing of environmental impacts. To manage these risks\, Suburban Rail Loop Authority (SRLA) has undertaken an extensive program of geotechnical investigations\, stakeholder engagement\, and design development. \nThis presentation provides: \n\nAn update on the project;\nAn overview of anticipated geological conditions;\nA summary of the ongoing geotechnical investigation program;\nOutlines some of the tunnelling and cut and cover challenges identified;\nPresents some of the geotechnical monitoring approaches adopted;\n\nAbout the speaker \n Speaker 1 \nStefan Hanke\, BSc\, MSc\, Package Director – Tunnels & Civils\, Suburban Rail Loop Authority\, Melbourne \nStefan has over 30 years of global experience on large-scale road\, rail and water projects across Australia\, New Zealand\, Asia\, Africa\, and Europe. With extensive procurement and delivery experience in a range of contract types\, he has played key roles in successful project acquisition\, civil/tunnel works delivery\, M&E works coordination\, and project completion. Stefan has worked on notable infrastructure projects from across the world\, including London’s Crossrail\, Metro Tunnel\, North East Link\, and the Waterview Connection project in Auckland. Now Package Director of Tunnels and Civils at Suburban Rail Loop Authority\, Stefan is responsible for the procurement and delivery of the SRL East tunnelling packages. \nSpeaker 2 \nChris Lyons\, BEng\, MEng\, CPEng\, Principal Geotechnical Engineer\, Tunnels & Civils\, Suburban Rail Loop Authority\, Melbourne \nChris has 25 years of experience as a geotechnical designer working on the successful delivery of a range of infrastructure and commercial projects from concept through to delivery. Chris has gained global experience working in New Zealand\, the UK\, UAE and Australia\, on major metro tunnel projects\, including Crossrail\, Metro Tunnel and Suburban Rail Loop. Chris leads the technical inputs to manage ground condition risks for Suburban Rail Loop\, including geotechnical investigations\, hydrogeological conditions\, tunnelling\, geotechnical retention design\, ground movement impacts\, instrumentation and monitoring\, spoil disposal and ground improvements. \n  \nFor more information\, please contact Jay Lee via jeawoo.lee@gsenc.com.

Focused on innovative and cooperative development\, the collaboration amongst researchers\, owners\, designers\, construction contractors\, machine manufacturers and suppliers is surely one reason for this. The second factor is the market dynamics in tunnelling\, driven by a globalised world and increasing urbanisation: Around the globe\, emerging economies are expanding infrastructure in their urban and regional centres\, promoting the interlinking of individual economic hubs by means of new traffic\, supply and disposal systems. The general worldwide trend in the industry towards mechanisation and automation clearly demands a similar development in tunnelling. There are challenges ahead\, and we need to improve our excavation methods to overcome them – always learning from our past tunnel experiences. \nThis lecture considers the past\, present and future of mechanised tunnelling with a focus on the innovations developed since the 1970s and what lies ahead in mechanised tunnelling. \nAbout the speaker \nMartin Herrenknecht\, Dr.-Ing. E.h.\, founder and CEO of Herrenknecht AG \nMartin Herrenknecht is the company founder and name giver\, driving force and Chairman of the Board of Management of Herrenknecht AG. After completing his degree\, the graduate engineer (FH) began his career as a design engineer in Switzerland. This was followed by several positions\, some lasting several years\, as project and design engineering managers in Canada and Germany. From 1971 to 1975\, Martin Herrenknecht worked again in Switzerland as director of the mechanical engineering service at the Seelisberg Tunnel with “Big John”\, the world’s largest tunnel boring machine at the time. \n  \nIn 1975 Martin founded the Martin Herrenknecht Engineering Service Company\, then in 1977 the limited company Herrenknecht GmbH\, whose Managing Director he remained until it became a joint stock company. Martin Herrenknecht is responsible for Group Strategy\, Business Development\, Group Marketing & Communications\, Internal Audit and Mergers and Acquisitions. Martin Herrenknecht has received numerous prestigious awards and honours\, including an honorary doctorate (Dr.-Ing. E.h.) from the Carolo-Wilhelmina Technical University of Braunschweig (Brunswick)\, the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany\, entry into the Handelsblatt Hall of Fame of German Entrepreneurship\, the Lifetime Achievement Award of the International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association (ITA) as well as the Werner von Siemens Ring for his outstanding lifetime achievement as an inventor and entrepreneur. \nNetworking refreshments prior to the technical presentation will kindly be provided by Herrenknecht -Country representative: Charles Howarth \n \nFor more information\, please contact Richard Buckingham via Richard.buckingham@wsp.com. \nCOST \nFree URL:https://australiantunnellingsociety.com.au/ats-event/the-past-present-and-future-of-mechanised-tunnelling/ LOCATION:Melbourne Engineers Australia office CATEGORIES:Victoria END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
