SUMMARY:Construction of the Forrestfield-Airport Link trackslab
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThe $1.86 billion Forrestfield-Airport Link project jointly funded by the Australian and WA governments comprises twin bored tunnels adding 8.5km to the rail network with three new stations—Redcliffe\, Airport Central and High Wycombe\, two of them underground. In April 2016 the PTA awarded the design\, construct and maintenance contract to Salini Impregilo – NRW Joint Venture. \nThe design of the tunnel track slab evolved from a conventionally reinforced concrete design to a macro synthetic fiber reinforced concrete track slab\, enabling significant construction efficiencies and program savings. Further efficiencies were observed in the method of placement\, which eliminated a significant amount of in-tunnel truck movements by pumping the track slab concrete from the top of each station box along the tunnel alignment. This meant that in some sections of the tunnel\, concrete was being pumped almost two kilometers. \nThe talk will start with a discussion on trackslabs in general as well as some background on concrete pumping considerations to lay the foundation for an in-depth look at the construction of the Forrestfield-Airport Link trackslab concentrating on aspects such as the pumping the concrete mix design\, and the field trials leading up to the final record-breaking pump of almost 2000 meters. \n  \nSpeaker\nDes Vlietstra\nDes has a MSc Eng in Advanced Concrete Technology and a Graduate Diploma in Mining Engineering. He started his career in underground mining and rock mechanics which somehow evolved into concrete. He has a special interest in concrete pumping and sprayed concrete which is essentially pumped concrete applied pneumatically. He is an EFNARC nozzleman examiner for robotically applied sprayed concrete and a certified ACI-ICT EN Standards Concrete Field-Testing Technician. Des is a member of the Institute of Concrete Technology and sits on the executive committee of the Australian Shotcrete Society as well as the WA committees of the Concrete Institute of Australia and the Australian Tunnelling Society. Apart from being passionate about concrete and underground space he also enjoys photography.

SUMMARY:Forrestfield Airport Link—Dundas Road tunnel incident and reconstruction using SGI segmental lining
DESCRIPTION:In person (Western Australia) and webinar \nSpeaker:\nAlvin Francis has 11 years of tunnelling experience working on a wide range of tunnel projects in challenging geology\, from Berapit Twin Tunnels- Electrified Double Track Project (Malaysia)\, Klang Valley MRT (Malaysia)- where the world’s first Variable Density TBMs specifically designed to handle the complex limestone karst zones were deployed\, North-South Transmission Cable Tunnel- 60m in depth in extremely hard Bukit Timah Granite (GI- GIII) (Singapore) and the Thomson Line tunnels T207 (Singapore). \nAlvin has been engaged as the Project Engineer for Tunnels\, on the Forrestfield Airport Link since 2017 and has completed the twin 6.7m diameter 7.5 Km Tunnel excavation works across 5 different geological strata with difficult & variable properties – alluvial sands to soft rock (2-4 MPa Sandy Siltstone/Claystone) using the Variable Density TBMs while tunnelling under the fully operational Perth Airport runways\, taxiways and aprons\, roads & local Railway Lines. Following the completion of Tunnelling and an unexpected incident at the Dundas Road Cross Passage\, he then worked on the Dundas Road tunnel reinstatement. \nTalk Outline:\nOn 22 September 2018 a leak developed during construction of the first tunnel cross passage\, Cross Passage Dundas\, into Tunnel One\, approximately 200m north of the Forrestfield Station site and the launching point for the TBMs. As a result\, water and silt entered rapidly into the tunnel at up to 60L/sec resulting in loss of ground around the tunnel and subsequently leading to the formation of a sinkhole at the surface alongside and partly beneath Dundas Road. The groundwater pressure\, and the associated lack of support to the tunnel lining\, caused permanent localised distortion to the tunnel shape and movement of the segments which make up the tunnel lining\, ultimately damaging a 26m-long section of Tunnel One (16 rings). This talk will briefly describe the setting\, the incident and then outline the technical solutions developed to enable reinstatement of the tunnel lining to achieve operational clearance and a 120-year design life using spheroidal graphite iron segmental lining (SGI). \nTeams link: Register for the Dundas Road tunnel incident webinar \nAt 5:30 pm\, finger food\, beer\, wine and soft drinks will be provided\, for an informal pre-talk get together at the venue. Come and meet your fellow professionals who are interested in tunnelling. The technical session will commence at 6 pm and run until approximately 7.00 pm. Dinner afterwards will be coordinated with the speaker at a nearby restaurant (pay your own way). \n
