SUMMARY:Geotechnical Baseline Reports for Risk Management in Australian Tunnelling
DESCRIPTION:Underground construction must inevitably deal with uncertainty and risks associated with the subsurface conditions. Geotechnical Baseline Reports (GBRs) are commonly used internationally on large tunnelling projects to help manage and contractually allocate geotechnical risks between the parties. While design and build is the most prevalent procurement method in Australia\, with most clients contractually shedding all geotechnical risks to the contractors\, a positive change towards collaborative contracts are being observed in the industry with the recent inclusion of GBRs to set the geotechnical risk-sharing mechanisms for major infrastructure projects. \nJoin Alex Gomes and Richard Kelly for an overview of geotechnical risk management and sharing mechanisms in tunnelling and to learn from their experience in the development of GBRs of different types (traditional GBR in accordance with the ASCE and the FIDIC Emerald’s book GBR) for recent major tunnel projects in Australia. \n  \nSpeakers\n\n\n\nAlex Gomes\nChief Technical Principal – Tunnels and Underground\, SMEC \n\n\n\nAlex Gomes is a civil engineer with 30 years of international experience in the design and construction of tunnel and underground works and applied geotechnical and geo-mechanical engineering. Alex has worked on major infrastructure projects across Europe\, Asia\, Australasia and the Americas\, including projects of subways\, railways\, roads\, mining\, utilities\, water and hydropower plants\, providing expert advice on technical\, forensic and contractual aspects for sub-surface works. Alex holds the position of Chief Technical Principal – Tunnels and Underground at SMEC and is the past Vice-President of the International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association (ITA-AITES). During the preparation of the FIDIC Emerald Book\, Alex acted on behalf of ITA as a peer-reviewer of the document. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Richard Kelly\n\nChief Technical Principal and General Manager Technical Excellence\, SMEC \n\n\nDr Richard Kelly BE PhD FIEAust CPEng NPER is the Chief Technical Principal and General Manager Technical Excellence at SMEC. He is at the forefront of best practice and innovation in geotechnical engineering. He actively provides service on behalf of the wider geotechnical community\, helps deliver sustainable infrastructure for the benefit of our communities and is a bridge between academia and industry. Richard has contributed to significant infrastructure projects in Australia\, New Zealand and the UK including roads\, rail\, building infrastructure\, power and energy\, dams and hydropower\, airports\, water infrastructure and ports. Richard has led and supported university research over many years. This combination of industry and academic expertise has enabled Richard to transfer research outcomes into practice\, creating and enabling significant change in the delivery of infrastructure projects. \n\nEngineers Australia members participating in AGS technical sessions can record attendance on their personal CPD logs. Members should refer to Engineers Australia CPD policy for details on CPD types\, requirements and auditing guidelines.

SUMMARY:Human Factors in Tunnel Design
DESCRIPTION:In-person and webinar \n \nJoin the ATS for this event where Acmena Senior Human Factors Advisor Dr Keryn Pauley will discuss the importance of considering Human Factors\, a scientific discipline concerned with optimising environments\, systems and technologies to meet the needs of human operators\, in tunnel design. \nTopics will include the Human Factors process\, incorporation of Human Factors into the systems engineering process\, the importance of early identification of end user requirements\, consideration of how the tunnel will be used and maintained during normal\, abnormal\, degraded\, and emergency scenarios\, and some particular Human Factors considerations that are important during tunnel projects. \nGuest speaker\nKeryn Pauley – Senior Human Factors Advisor\, Acmena \n \nDr Keryn Pauley is a Human Factors professional with more than 13 years of experience in providing system design and evaluation\, risk assessment and safety management support in the rail\, healthcare and aviation industries. \nPreviously\, the Principal Human Factors Adviser for Queensland Rail\, she is now a senior Human Factors Advisor with Acmena. With Acmena\, Dr Pauley is consulting to CBGU Joint Venture and Unity and is the Human Factors lead for Cross River Rail Tunnels\, Stations\, and Development and the Rail Integration and Systems packages. Dr Pauley has a strong background in integrating Human Factors into specification\, procurement\, design\, and implementation of complex engineering projects to ensure that user needs are successfully met. \nEvent timings\n5.30–6.00 pm—registration and networking \n6:00PM –7:00PM—presentation and webinar begin \n
