SUMMARY:ATS NSW's annual St Barbara's Day celebration and social event
DESCRIPTION:Bare foot bowls – Monday 4 December – places are limited so register today! \nFor this year’s St Barbara’s Day celebration\, the NSW Chapter is hosting a Bare Foot Bowls event at the Greens\, North Sydney. This is a fun networking event for our local tunnelling community and places are limited so book now. \nDate: Monday 4 December\nTime: Arrival 5pm\nFormat:\n• Food 5:45pm\n• Bowls 7pm – 9pm\nVenue: The Greens\, 50 Ridge Street\, North Sydney\nPrice: $45\nRegistration Deadline: Sunday\, 26 November 2023 9.00 pm AEDT\nRegistration: Click here to register\nQuestions? Contact David Clague: David.Clague@bekaert.com \nThis event is generously sponsored by: \n \nWhy do tunnellers celebrate St Barbara’s Day?\nSt Barbara’s Day Events are a regular fixture on the ATS annual calendar\, but what are we celebrating and why exactly is St Barbara the Patron Saint of Tunnellers? \nSt Barbara is thought to have been born in the mid-third century close to present-day Lebanon. Legend has it that when her father learned she had converted to Christianity\, he had her tortured and eventually beheaded. Her martyrdom took place on the 4 December and as punishment for her murder\, her father was struck by lightning and killed. It is this legendary association with lightning that gives Saint Barbara her contemporary connection to explosives and the tunnelling and mining professions. Today\, the legend still inspires tunnellers to stay connected to colleagues and stay safe!

SUMMARY:ATS Young Members Site Visit to Brisbane Metro Adelaide Street Tunnel
DESCRIPTION:The ATS young members invites students and young engineers on a site visit to the Brisbane Metro Adelaide Street Tunnel\, Wednesday November 29th. The Adelaide Street tunnel is a critical piece of the Brisbane Metro project that provides additional capacity to Brisbane’s public transport system but requires the construction of a new road only 3.5m below the existing roadway. \nThe Adelaide Street Tunnel has many interesting aspects such as complex geology\, buried services\, traffic loading\, adjacent heritage structures\, and a demanding construction program with very little support site area. On the site visit you will get to see how these challenging constraints have been met\, including the design and construction of a relatively large span soft ground tunnel\, which involves over 20km of canopy tubes and 19kms of fiberglass face nails installed in a complex construction sequence to minimise surface movements and provide sufficient space for the final bidirectional tunnel. \nThe site visit will include a tour of the Brisbane Metro Information Centre\, overview of the project and a guided tour of the tunnel. \nPlease note that this is a registration to enter the draw for the site visit due to the limited number of attendees permitted\, it does not guarantee a place on the site visit itself. Once registered for the draw you will receive a calendar invitation for the site visit\, this is a Teams default and should be treated as pending until the draw has taken place. A separate confirmation email will be sent to successful applicants after the draw has taken place. \nThis event is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council and Acciona. \nMinimum requirements for site visit: \n\nAttendees must be 35 years old and under\nPants\, long sleeve shirts and safety boots\nHard hats and safety glasses if you have them\, otherwise these will be provided.\nClean shaven. Dust masks must be worn underground and everyone will need to be clean shaven to enter the tunnel (non-negotiable).

SUMMARY:Annual Special Meeting - ATS Victoria
DESCRIPTION:ATS Victoria invites all Victorian-based members to their Annual Special Meeting (ASM) to hear how the Chapter performed over the last year and what is planned for the following year. \nTimings \n5:30 – 6:00 – Networking \n6:00 – 6:15 – Annual Special Meeting \n6:15 – 7:00 – Technical Presentation \n7:00 onwards – Networking \nAgenda \n\nApologies\nMinutes of 2022 ASM\nMatters Arising\nChairman’s Report\nFinancial Report\nElection of Committee for 2024\nOther Business\n\nFollowing the ASM\, Martin Rauer from CREG will make a presentation on sustainable TBM tunnelling\, as per the details below. CREG have kindly offered to sponsor the catering for the event. \nPresentation Outline \nPathway to sustainable TBM tunnelling using intelligent electrical equipment \nSustainability in tunnel construction is becoming an increasingly important topic especially as global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise\, at a time when they need to be rapidly falling. \nTo effectively reduce emissions\, we need to know where they are coming from – which sectors contribute the most. How can we use this understanding to develop effective solutions and mitigation strategies. Reducing the carbon emission footprint by using electrical equipment is just one step and topic of many. \nThis presentation will discuss the development and use of intelligent electrical equipment designed to transport people and materials with a payload of up to 180 tonnes from the surface to a TBM. \nThe specially developed tunnel multi-purpose vehicle was originally supposed to be operational when drilling of the first tunnel. Testing showed that more time was needed before the vehicle could actually get into action. Therefore\, diesel vehicles had to be used for the first tunnel drive. \nHowever\, for the boring of the second parallel tunnel all electric vehicles were ready to go with some interesting results when compared to the first tunnel. \nSpeaker bio \nMartin Rauer\, Mechanical Engineer\, CREG \n \nAfter Martin Rauer completed his apprenticeship as a mechanic specializing in production and manufacturing technology\, he decided to study mechanical engineering in Darmstadt\, Germany. In 1999\, Martin successfully completed his master’s degree based on research into the development of new methods for extending and connecting offshore piles for one of Germany’s largest civil engineering and tunnelling companies\, Bilfinger Berger. He continued his journey at Bilfinger Berger in the years to come\, spending most of his time on major projects worldwide in a senior management position. Martin is currently working for CREG Australia.

SUMMARY:Revolutionising Australia’s infrastructure though centralised geological and geotechnical data management
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this exciting and informative National ATS Event! \nSummary \nAustralia’s increasing infrastructure development demands a comprehensive grasp of its intricate underground landscape. This understanding is pivotal as space competition heightens for future expansion. Despite substantial annual investments in ground investigations\, often involving intrusive testing\, geotechnical data is primarily stored in outdated formats\, resulting in data loss or duplication. While some preservation efforts exist\, public access to the information remains limited. \nThis Churchill Fellowship-based study underscores the feasibility of a more sustainable approach. Successful models from the UK\, Netherlands\, Switzerland\, Denmark\, and New Zealand showcase effective central repositories for geological data. The lack of a comparable requirement in Australia hinders efficient data utilisation\, leading to extended project timelines and increased costs for both the government and taxpayers.  The study offers valuable guidance for Australian government bodies to establish centralised geological and geotechnical databases. The accessibility and cost-efficiency of these systems can stimulate cooperation across sectors\, contributing to the sustainable development of future cities. \nThis event is generously sponsored by: WSP Australia \n  \nTimings \nIn person – 5.30 for a 6pm start –WSP Australia\, Level 27 680 George St\, Sydney NSW 2000 \nWebinar – 5.45 for a 6pm start – The hybrid meeting link is via Zoom: https://wsp.zoom.us/j/83396276103 \nPLEASE NOTE: There is no requirement to register in advance so make sure you make a note in your diary now! If you are joining online\, please click on the above link and remember to give yourself plenty of time to sign in via zoom or the zoom app. If you are joining in person\, please enter the building and go straight up to Level 27. \n  \nPresenter bio \nDr David Och \nDavid has a PhD in geology on the study of a complex structural\, tectonic and metamorphic terrane at Port Macquarie\, NSW\, Australia. He is the Technical Director – Geology (Tunnels) for WSP in Australia and leads the NSW Tunnels Group. His expertise in tunnelling and engineering geology has led to key lead and advisory roles on major transportation projects. David’s recent roles have included Geotechnical Lead for Sydney Metro City & Southwest and Sydney Metro West Projects\, and Geological Lead on the Western Harbour Tunnel and Beaches Link project. \nDavid\, a Churchill Fellow\, has just completed a study on geotechnical databases at geological surveys including the BGS\, TNO (Netherlands)\, Swisstopo and GEUS (Denmark). This work was published as a report through Winston Churchill Trust and a recent paper in Springer. David is also an Associate Professor at the School of Biological\, Earth and Environmental Sciences at UNSW Sydney. He supervises students in Honours degrees at Sydney University and Adelaide University\, and lectures in Landscape design at University of Technology Sydney (UTS). \n \nGeologist David Och shows rock core samples to North West Rail Link project director Rod Staples\, NSW Transport Minister Andrew Constance and NSW Premier  Mike Baird.

SUMMARY:Tunnel systems: planning assets today for the future
DESCRIPTION:Overview \nIn this session\, we will explore examples of tunnels that have undergone significant refurbishment\, upgrade\, or change to their systems\, both locally and internationally. \nWe will examine some of the lessons learned and challenges overcome. Our objective is to look at how these lessons might be applied to tunnel systems today to better support our changing needs. Additionally\, we will examine the trends that might inform how we best plan for the future state\, including human factors\, developments in technology\, and how we can better shape the reliability and serviceability of these systems as they go through these changes. \nFurther information \nAustralia has experienced a revolution in underground transport infrastructure over the past three decades as the population of our cities has grown. Some of our major transport tunnels are now approaching lifecycle milestones\, and in particular\, some tunnel systems are approaching the end of their economic life. Many tunnels have already undergone retrofits of new system technologies and repurposing to different transport functions\, such as the conversion of rail to metro. These changes require significant modifications to the existing tunnel systems\, which might not have been foreseen at the time of construction. The need to make significant changes to tunnel systems for upgrades or repurposing is not a new concept. \nIn countries with more established underground infrastructure\, this reality has been experienced multiple times. There are also notable examples of tunnels for more specialized purposes that have undergone radical changes to support new functions. Looking back\, we can see that there are needs for these tunnel systems today that would have been hard to imagine at the time of their construction. Changes to the climate\, resources\, the way we work and how we use and transmit information are all factors that have contributed to this. Considering the current rate of change\, it may be even more difficult to imagine what we will expect of these systems in 30 years’ time. \nEvent program \nIn person: \n\n5:30 pm AEST: Registration and arrival\n6:00 pm AEST: Event commences\n7:00 pm AEST: Presentation concludes and Networking\n8:00 pm AEST: Event concludes\n\nOnline: \n\n6:00 pm AEST: Event commences\n8:00 pm AEST: Event concludes\n\nAbout the speaker \n \nTom Starling\nPrincipal Mechanical Engineer\, Worley \nTom is a mechanical engineer with 17 years’ of experience\, half of that in major transport infrastructure projects\, working in a variety of roles\, from technical advice in financing and partnerships\, through to testing and commissioning. Being involved at the earliest and latest stages of tunnel system design and construction\, Tom has experience in blue sky planning for possible future usage scenarios\, and has also developed solutions to enable and execute the upgrade\, retrofit and repurpose of existing tunnel systems. The balance of his experience is in a range of sectors; buildings\, water\, defence and resources\, both surface and underground\, which face similar and different challenges to transport tunnel infrastructure. \n  \nMC \n \nTeresa Sandum\nSenior Fire Safety Engineer \nTeresa is a Senior Fire Safety Engineer with 7 years of experience on a range of infrastructure and building projects in Victoria\, New South Wales\, Queensland and New Zealand. Teresa is currently part of the Tunnel System Fire and Life Safety team at WSP and currently working Melbourne Metro Tunnel Project\, North-East Link (NEL) and Southern Program Alliance (SPA) for Level Crossing Removal. \nTeresa have extensive experiences in CFD simulations using Fire Dynamics Simulation for station building\, airports\, and shopping centres.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Lessons learned from design and construction of Nant-de-Drance Powerhouse
DESCRIPTION:WEBINAR Registration Link\nDate:             27 September 2023 \nTime:            6:00 pm — 7.00 pm AEST \nLocation:       Online only \nOverview\nThe Nant-de-Drance pumped hydropower scheme (900 MW)\, awarded “International Major Tunneling Project of the Year” ITA-NCE prize in 2014\, connects the two existing artificial reservoirs at Emosson and Vieux Emosson in Switzerland. \nExcept for raising the upper dam\, all works were undertaken underground. They include 16 km of tunnels\, two vertical shafts of height 440m and 6 large caverns. The exceptional size of the powerhouse cavern (194m x 32m x 52m)\, located at 600m depth in a metamorphic rock formation of sedimentary origin\, required the definition of an appropriate excavation\, support and lining concept. \nAn advanced rock behaviour model\, based on an important investigation campaign\, 3D finite element modeling\, and analysis of unstable blocks allowed the optimization of the support and the lining. \nMonitoring during construction and back-analysis allowed the successive reduction of support measures and the streamlining of the excavation phasing. The resulting savings largely exceeded the incurred expenses for additional investigation and calculations. \nThe cavern excavation schedule was accelerated by reorganizing the phasing of the different stages\, creating a margin to make up delays elsewhere. \nStructural design was also particularly challenging due to the unusual load cases to which the structure is subjected during construction and operation\, as well as the large volumes of concrete being poured. \nAfter 14 years of work\, Nant de Drance was officially commissioned on 9 September 2022. At the height of construction\, up to 650 labourers were present on site without any serious accidents. By its ability to absorb or inject up to 900 MW of power\, Nant de Drance is going to be a key instrument for stabilisation and regulation on the Swiss and European grid. \nSpeakers\n \nPatrick Heck\, CEng MICE graduated with a degree in civil\, structural and environmental engineering in 2007 from Trinity College Dublin\, Ireland. Patrick started his career in geotechnical engineering\, first with Buro Happold in the UK\, and from 2010 with WSP-BG in Lausanne\, Switzerland. He has been involved in the design and construction of several hydroelectric schemes in Switzerland. He was the BG project manager for the civil & structural engineering of the powerhouse and switchgear caverns at Nant de Drance. \n \nEtienne Garin\, Civil Engineer\, M.Sc.: graduated in Civil Engineering from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne in 1996. He benefits from vast experience in the field of underground construction and hydroelectric scheme. Since he joined WSP-BG he has actively participated in the design and construction of major tunnels in Switzerland and abroad\, as well as hydroelectric power schemes. During his career\, he has carried out calculations at detailed and final design stage\, been responsible for site supervision\, and has managed projects from preliminary design to client delivery. He was in charge of the design of the caverns for the Nant-de-Drance project. Since 2023\, Etienne Garin is animator of the ITA WG 19 “Conventionnal Tunnelling” \n \nGérard Seingre\, Civil Engineer\, M.Sc.: graduated in Civil Engineering from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. Gérard is an expert in deep tunnelling and site survey for construction of energy infrastructures. He has planned and played a leading role in the construction of over 40 km of deep tunnels\, 3 vertical shafts over 400 m high\, more than 10 big caverns and 2 descending access galleries (main projects Loetschberg-base Tunnel and Pump storage power plant Nant de Drance).

SUMMARY:ATS QLD - Discrete fracture network approach for underground support design optimisation
DESCRIPTION:Ground support design for underground rock engineering projects often adopts empirical methods\, which were mostly developed in 1960s and 1970s. While these methods have provided a useful tool to aid design\, they have typically been based on a limited database of project experience and so their results need to be interpreted in the context of local experience and engineering judgement. Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) model allows inclusion of site-specific discontinuities data to be stochastically quantified and explicitly adopted as design input. Combined with 3D Distinct Element Method\, this approach offers a more quantifiable\, verifiable and reproduceable method to assess rock mass quality & behaviour in underground excavation projects. \nThis presentation demonstrates benefits gained from this integrated approach in ground support design for large span rock caverns using a case study. The use of DFN and explicit modelling has allowed ground support to be optimised based on site-specific and more realistic anticipated ground conditions. Ivan is the David Sugden Award winner for 2022 and will present his award-winning paper in person entitled: Discrete Fracture Network Approach in Ground Support Design Optimisation for Large Span Cavern in Jointed Rock Mass. The David Sugden Award was initiated by the ATS in 2004 to encourage young engineers to develop the art of technical writing. The competition is open to all ATS members and university students under 35 years of age. \nLearning Outcomes\nIvan is the David Sugden Award winner for 2022. He will present his award-winning paper in person. This presentation\, so-called’ David Sugden Award Road Show’ is one of the annual events organised by ATS. Key takeaways will include: \n\ninterpretation of discontinuities in rock mass using DFN application of the advanced analytical method to understand rock mass behaviour\nactual large cavern design case.\n\nEvent Program\n\n5.30pm: Welcome and light refreshments\n6.00pm: Presentation commencement\n7.00pm: Networking and drinks\n7.30pm: Event concludes\n\nTicket Inclusions\n\nLight refreshments\nCanapes\nNon-alcoholic beverages\nAlcoholic beverages\n\nAbout the speaker\n \nIvan Haryono\, MIEAust CPEng NER\nSenior Associate Geotechnical Engineer\, WSP \nIvan Haryono is Chartered and Registered Professional Geotechnical Engineer with over 12 years of experience on large scale tunnelling and deep excavation projects in Hong Kong\, Canada\, Australia\, Singapore\, and the Netherlands in different project stages; from tender & detailed design\, construction phase services\, forensic analysis and claims\, and independent review.

SUMMARY:Geomechanics of pressure tunnels and shafts - a critical review of existing knowledge
DESCRIPTION:Overview \nHydropower and pumped storage projects are becoming increasingly appealing as environmentally friendly energy sources and large-scale energy storage solutions. \nPressure tunnels/shafts are among the primary components of such projects. Although the design of these pressure tunnels and shafts has been well-established for decades\, during the peak of hydropower project development\, particularly prior to the 90s\, the transfer of knowledge has been adequately made only in developed countries that went through a period of reduced activity in hydropower and pumped hydro projects. \nThe design of the lining of pressure tunnels and shafts is a challenging engineering endeavour which deals with the complex coupled hydraulic-mechanical interaction between the lining and the surrounding rock mass. The lining of pressure waterways should be designed to limit head losses within the conduit to acceptable limits; control excessive leakage and risk of rock hydraulic fracturing/jacking; and ensure long-term structural capacity and serviceability during filling-up\, operation and dewatering stages. \nThis presentation will offer a brief overview of the key design factors that need to be taken into account for pressure tunnels\, including the risk of hydraulic fracturing\, hydraulic jacking\, and landslides or slope instabilities due to excessive seepage. \nFurthermore\, we will delve into the historical development\, limitations\, misconceptions\, and gaps in the commonly employed methods used to evaluate the concrete lining’s resistance to cracking in pressure tunnel and shaft designs. Finally\, we will explore the significance of filling and dewatering strategies for pressure tunnels and their impact on tunnel behaviour. \nIn this presentation you will learn: \n\nlessons learned for the design of underground structures embodied in hydropower projects\nkey design factors for pressured tunnels\nrisk identification relating to hydraulic fracturing\, hydraulic jacking\, and slope instabilities associated with excessive water pressure.\n\nProgram – in person \n\n5:30 PM – 6:00 PM: Networking  – light refreshments will be served.\n6:00 PM – 6:05 PM: Introduction of the speaker and the topic\n6:05 PM – 6:50 PM: Presentation\n6:50 PM – 7:00 PM: Q&As\n\nProgram – online (Teams link) \n\n6:00 PM – 6:05 PM: Introduction of the speaker and the topic\n6:05 PM – 6:50 PM: Presentation\n6:50 PM – 7:00 PM: Q&As\n\nPresenter \nMahdi Zoorabadi\, Technical Principal \n \nMahdi Zoorabadi (BSc\, MSc\, PhD) has 22 years of experience in consultancy and research in a broad range of tunnelling and rock engineering fields.

SUMMARY:ATS NSW - Discrete fracture network approach for underground support design optimisation
DESCRIPTION:Ground support design for underground rock engineering projects often adopts empirical methods\, which were mostly developed in 1960s and 1970s. While these methods have provided a useful tool to aid design\, they have typically been based on a limited database of project experience and so their results need to be interpreted in the context of local experience and engineering judgement. Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) model allows inclusion of site-specific discontinuities data to be stochastically quantified and explicitly adopted as design input. Combined with 3D Distinct Element Method\, this approach offers a more quantifiable\, verifiable and reproduceable method to assess rock mass quality & behaviour in underground excavation projects. \nThis presentation demonstrates benefits gained from this integrated approach in ground support design for large span rock caverns using a case study. The use of DFN and explicit modelling has allowed ground support to be optimised based on site-specific and more realistic anticipated ground conditions. Ivan is the David Sugden Award winner for 2022 and will present his award-winning paper in person entitled: Discrete Fracture Network Approach in Ground Support Design Optimisation for Large Span Cavern in Jointed Rock Mass. The David Sugden Award was initiated by the ATS in 2004 to encourage young engineers to develop the art of technical writing. The competition is open to all ATS members and university students under 35 years of age. \nLearning Outcomes\nIvan is the David Sugden Award winner for 2022. He will present his award-winning paper in person. This presentation\, so-called’ David Sugden Award Road Show’ is one of the annual events organised by ATS. Key takeaways will include: \n\ninterpretation of discontinuities in rock mass using DFN application of the advanced analytical method to understand rock mass behaviour\nactual large cavern design case.\n\nEvent Program\n\n5.30pm: Welcome and light refreshments\n6.00pm: Presentation commencement\n7.00pm: Networking and drinks\n7.30pm: Event concludes\n\nTicket Inclusions\n\nLight refreshments\nCanapes\nNon-alcoholic beverages\nAlcoholic beverages\n\nAbout the speaker\n \nIvan Haryono\, MIEAust CPEng NER\nSenior Associate Geotechnical Engineer\, WSP \nIvan Haryono is Chartered and Registered Professional Geotechnical Engineer with over 12 years of experience on large scale tunnelling and deep excavation projects in Hong Kong\, Canada\, Australia\, Singapore\, and the Netherlands in different project stages; from tender & detailed design\, construction phase services\, forensic analysis and claims\, and independent review.

SUMMARY:The use of fibre optics to improve tunnel support design
DESCRIPTION:Optimisation of tunnel ground support through observational approaches necessitates a comprehensive monitoring programme to verify design assumptions regarding the performance of ground support systems. However the interaction of ground support and the surrounding rock mass is difficult to measure accurately\, with current methods focusing on individual locations or devices to represent a ground behaviour. \nThis presentation summarises a strategy to determine the continuous performance of ground support elements as part of the overall support system in conjunction with assessment of ground behaviour and its response to construction. Central to this is the application of a distributed optical strain sensing technology in combination with ground support elements. \nUse of this technology allows optimisation of ground support configuration\, improved ground characterisation\, improved safety\, reduced time and costs and the development and validation of numerical tools for design engineers. Four case studies\, including Northconnex using this technology are described. \nLearning outcomes for this event include: \nA distributed optical strain-sensing technique is presented as a solution for measuring the strain distribution along ground support members used in underground works.\nThe development of this technique that captures in-situ support behaviour in terms of coaxial\, lateral\, and shear loading arrangements will be summarised.\nDesign engineers can use the data to evaluate the performance of the prescribed tunnel support. \nEvent Program \n5:30pm – Registration and networking\n6:00pm – Presentation commences\n6:40pm – Q&A\n7:00pm – Discussion and drinks\n7:30pm – Event close\n*Times listed are AEDT \n  \nThe event is sponsored by GEODATA KODA Australia ! \nAbout the presenter\nDr. Nicholas Vlachopoulos  (PhD\, CD\, PEng\, PEGr\, FEIC\, FEC) \n \n• Professor of Civil Engineering at the Royal Military College of Canada\, Cross-Appointed at Queen’s University\n• Director at the Queen’s-RMC GeoEngineeirng Center\n• Founder and Director of the RMC Green Team \nDr. Nicholas Vlachopoulos specialises in the optimization of support systems of underground works\, rock mechanics\, and geotechnical monitoring.
