SUMMARY:Future Proofing and Unlocking Auckland’s Rail Network - City Rail Link Project Update
DESCRIPTION:The Australian Tunnelling Society in conjunction with the NZ Tunnelling Society\, the Australian Geomechanics Society and the NZ Geotechnical Society will co-host a presentation on the City Rail Link Project\, Auckland\, New Zealand. Overall project outline and key challenges will be discussed. A project update on the design and construction of the 3.45 km twin tunnel underground rail scheme will be presented.\nThe City Rail Link (CRL) Project is a 3.45km twin-tunnel underground rail link allows the Auckland rail network to at least double rail capacity. The detailed design and construction contract C3 commenced in 2019. The C3 Contract comprises two new underground stations\, a redeveloped surface station\, two bored running tunnels and two mined junction caverns. Nearly 1.5 years into the Alliance Contract\, a project update on the detailed design and construction of the underground works is presented\, including: \n\nGeological features along the tunnel alignment \nChallenges associated with ground conditions \nDesign philosophy and methodology to get over difficulties\nConstruction challenges – time frame\, interfaces in an urban area\, impact on existing structures\, and so forth.\n\n  \nSpeakers  \n \nWataru Okada: Tunnel Discipline Lead\, Link Alliance City Rail Link (New Zealand) \nWataru is currently the Tunnel Discipline Lead on the City Rail Link C3 Contract and has 23 years’ experience in design and construction of large civil construction and underground works in New Zealand\, Australia\, Japan and Singapore. Earlier in his career\, Wataru worked as a site engineer on the construction of Tokyo Metro Oedo Line Kagurazaka station and tunnels\, and Singapore MRT North East Line trackworks and design coordination. Since 2000\, Wataru has been working on a wide range of infrastructure projects in NZ and abroad in the consulting environment. His recent project involvement includes the Waterview Connection (NZ)\, City Rail Link C2\, C3 and C6 Contracts\, Forrestfield to Airport Link (WA)\, Toowoomba Range Clearance Upgrade (QLD)\, WHBLT (NSW) amongst other major underground projects in Australia. \n \nFlorent Detraux: Tunnel Construction Manager\, Link Alliance City Rail Link (New Zealand) \nFlorent Detraux is currently the Tunnel Director on the City Rail Link Project. He has extensive experience in EPB-TBM\, slurry TBM\, variable density TBM and hard rock TBM as well as traditional excavation drill and blast\, design and build works. He has worked on numerous challenging projects including\, the Lötschberg basis tunnel in Switzerland\, the Liefkenshoek Tunnel in Antwerp and the Saverne Tunnel which formed part of the high-speed rail line connecting Paris to Strasbourg and has been involved in all large bridges and viaducts of the South Europe Atlantic High speed line between Tours and Bordeaux. Florent has recently worked as the Tunnel Director on Phase 3 of Cairo Metro Line 3\, where two TBMs will be used to accelerate progress on this 16 km complex project\, include one stretch running beneath the River Nile.

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 - Use of Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC) in Precast Segmental Tunnel Linings in Asia - Focus on QA/QC
DESCRIPTION:Join the Australian Tunnelling Society as they present the Use of Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC) in Precast Segmental Tunnel Linings in Asia – Focus on QA/QC. \nFRC has been used in precast segmental tunnel linings in Asia since 2005 beginning with Singapore in temporary segments. In 2012\, the first permanent use of FRC in precast segmental tunnel linings finally began with Contract 933 in the Downtown Line Phase 3 in Singapore. Since then\, FRC in precast segmental tunnel linings has been used for projects in Malaysia\, Hong Kong\, Japan and Singapore. The number of projects adopting FRC in precast segmental tunnel linings are growing. This talk will discuss three topics related to the use of FRC in precast segmental tunnel linings with a focus on QA/QC. \nThe session will include: \n\nDesign of FRC\nQA/QC of FRC\nDurability of FRC.\n\nSpeaker: Mr. Gan Cheng Chian  \n \nMr. GAN Cheng Chian graduated from The University of Singapore in 1989 and has worked in the construction industry for 31 years. He is working for Bekaert Singapore as Technical Manager since 1998. He has been involved in many prestigious underground projects and construction projects around Asia: including Qinling Railway & Highway Tunnel Xian\, China; Mandai Underground Cavern Singapore\, BMW Shenyang\, China\, Daimler Chrysler Beijing\, China\, Busan International Exhibition & Convention Center\, South Korea and Jurong Rock Cavern Singapore. He has been involved in over 20 projects featuring fibre reinforced sprayed concrete linings and over 15 projects featuring fibre reinforced concrete precast segmental tunnel linings. Since Jan 2019\, he was one of the members of the working group drafting the Singapore Standard on Design of Fibre Concrete Structures. In March 2019\, he was appointed as the Domain Expert for Sprayed Concrete and in Jan 2020\, he was appointed as Domain Expert for Fibre Reinforced Concrete under iNPQS (Intelligent National Productivity and Quality Specifications Singapore).

SUMMARY:ATS WEBINAR - Large Diameter EPB Operation to Control Settlement
DESCRIPTION:Explore the scope and risks associated with large diameter EPD machines\, including the specific requirements for large diameter TBM’s and the operational requirements to achieve tight settlement control. \nThe use of mega TBM’s for road tunnels or combined road and rail tunnels with an external diameter of greater than 14m is rapidly increasing. Up to 2019\, there have been 39 tunnelling projects worldwide using mega TBMs. There is also a worldwide trend to use EPB machines\, including in large diameter tunnels. There are a number of issues in scaling TBM operations from standard metro machines to mega TBM’s of greater than 14m. This presentation will cover specification requirements for the large diameter TBM’s as well as operational requirements to achieve tight settlement control. \nSpeaker\n \nTom Ireland | Major Projects Director\, Aurecon NZ \nTom has over 28 years’ experience and has worked on projects in the UK\, Middle East\, Hong Kong\, Australia and New Zealand. He is currently located in Auckland\, New Zealand and is the Principal Technical Advisor on the $4.4B\, 3.5km underground City Rail Link Project. \nTom has extensive experience in the design and construction supervision of segmentally lined tunnels\, including Independent Checking Engineer on several international metro and highway tunnels. His mega TBM experience includes Waterview Connection\, Auckland; Liantang/Heung Yuen Wai Lung Shan Tunnel\, Hong Kong; and segmental lining design lead for the West Gate Tunnel in Melbourne.
