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: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 - BIM and TBM Tunnel Project Along the Lifecycle
DESCRIPTION:BIM is the digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a building\, piece of physical infrastructure or environment. BIM serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about an asset throughout its lifecycle—supporting decision making—from strategic appraisal and planning\, design and construction to operation\, maintenance and renewal. \nBIM enables a collaborative way of working using digital processes to enable more productive methods of planning\, designing\, constructing\, operating and maintaining assets through their lifecycle. \nGovernments in Australia recognise the importance of BIM in the delivery and management of infrastructure assets as it offers many benefits throughout the asset lifecycle and has the potential to drive efficiency\, value for money\, productivity\, innovation and safety. (source: QLD Gov – Digital Enablement for Queensland Infrastructure). \nSpeakers\n \nJordan Haimes | Community Engagement Officer\, Cross River Rail \nJordan is currently working as a Community Engagement Officer with the Cross River Rail Delivery Authority on the delivery of the $5.4B Cross River Rail project. In this role\, he assists with project management and the fit out of the Cross River Rail Experience Centre. \n \nVincenza Floria | Design and Project Manager \, Geodata Eng \nVincenza is a Civil Engineer with 28 years’ experience\, out of which over 18 are matured at Geodata and 10 on Digital Engineering and R&D. She became a specialist in numerical modeling starting from her M.Sc. thesis and she is now lecturer at the II level Master ‘”Tunnelling and TBMs” Politecnico di Torino (course: Numerical Design). At Geodata\, she brought her experience in numerical modelling into the design of international infrastructure projects. Since 2015\, Vincenza has been involved with some important projects in Australia (Perth\, Melbourne and Brisbane). She is currently Design Manager for Geodata Eng. of TBM tunnel and cross-passages in CRR project in Brisbane. \n \nNeil Tyson | Business Development Manager\, Deswik Group \nWith business development and strategy at the core of his role\, Neil has key interests in safety leadership and complex systems risk management which are vital for effective catastrophic risk management\, and to improve from the current plateau in safety performance in the mining industry. \nJurij Karlovsek | Lecturer\, University of Queensland \nJurij has experience both in industry and academia\, with his road area of expertise lying in Geotechnical Engineering – specifically\, conventional and mechanised tunnelling\, construction information technology and non-destructive testing in tunnels. As a representative of the University of Queensland\, he works hard to engage with the community by creating and implementing associations that seek to inform\, educate and empower young professional tunnelling engineers.
