SUMMARY:Digitalisation and automation in tunnels
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nGain an understanding of how BIM enables a collaborative way of working using digital processes to enable more productive methods of operating and maintaining assets through their lifecycle. \nAbout the event\nBuilding Information Modelling (BIM) in Tunnelling is the digital representation of physical infrastructure and functional characteristics. BIM serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about an asset throughout its lifecycle. Information modelling in tunnelling includes supporting decision making and encompasses strategic appraisal and planning. Modelling supports design\, construction to operation\, maintenance and renewal. Information modelling systems allow us to deliver quality engineering to owners and contractors. The process requires skills\, tools\, and robust procedures. For the entire tunnelling community to take advantage of this\, it is of paramount importance to share\, educate and implement experiences\, standards and guidelines\, which are driven by the build industry. \nThis presentation will provide insights into: \n\nBest practice in international and domestic applications\, cross-disciplinary initiatives\, and future thinking where digitalisation in underground tunnelling and the future\nUnderstanding of how BIM enables a collaborative way of working\nProductive methods of planning\, designing and constructing\nOperating and maintaining assets through their lifecycle\n\nEvent program and locations\nPresentation to conclude for all attendees at 7:30 pm AEDT. \nBrisbane – online \n\n5.30 pm AEST – Presentation\n6.30 pm AEST – Presentation to conclude for all attendees\n\nSydney – online \n\n6.30 pm AEDT – Presentation\n7.30 pm AEDT – Presentation to conclude for all attendees\n\nOnline – via Webex details will be sent upon registration. \n\n6:30pm AEDT – Presentation\n\nAbout the speaker\nDr Jurij Karlovsek\nDeputy Director\nSustainable Infrastructure Research Hub Lecturer\, Geotechnical Engineering \nDr Jurij Karlovsek is an engineer\, researcher\, and educator at The University of Queensland\, Brisbane Australia.

SUMMARY:Design and construction of immersed tube tunnels
DESCRIPTION:About the event\nThis type of tunnelling solution is usually favoured for harbour and sub-sea environments due to its shallow depth below the seabed\, that allows shorter tunnel lengths and better connections to the road network at both ends of the subsea section. \nIn addition\, the shape of an immersed tunnel is flexible to fit different projects. This form of tunnelling is where our speaker has spent most of his career as an engineer. He often gets asked how to connect watertight boxes in a chain together\, some nearly as tall as a three-story building\, in waters as deep as 50 metres. \nThis is one of the reasons why CK Tsang enjoys designing immersed tunnels; the seemingly impossible nature of the task\, but the immense benefit it brings to cities by connecting its people between their destinations. Its status really becomes an invisible landmark for a city.

SUMMARY:ATS & ICE - 3D Reality Capture Systems
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThe Australian Tunnelling Society and Institution of Civil Engineers invite you to an evening of knowledge sharing\, Q&A\, and networking. \nNew Era of Tunnel Inspection\nIn the past\, tunnel inspection and documentation was a “camera and clipboard” manual process to document geology\, tunnel lining conditions\, or assets within tunnel networks. It was time-consuming and inconsistent in terms of objectivity\, continuity and spatial context. \nWith a variety of fixed and mobile platforms\, we are now able to combine laser scanners and high-resolution cameras to rapidly record the tunnel surface to a resolution that can detect sub millimeter cracks.. Mobile systems can capture data at ambient traffic speed\, reducing what\nused to take weeks and months\, to just hours. \nFrom this data we then generate highly precise true-colour\, textured 3D models of the scanned tunnel surface. \nDetection\, mapping and measurement of tunnel components can be undertaken in a centralised structured database\, managing inspection intervals and temporal changes from a single point of truth. \nDigital tools enable productivity improvements through the life of an asset\, 3D Reality Capture Systems are an excellent example of this. \nEvent Timeline (GMT+8)\n5.30pm – 6.00pm: Networking and refreshments\n6.00pm – 7.00pm: Presentation\n7.00pm – 8.00pm: Networking and refreshments \nSpeaker\nDrew Coulthard\nCurrent Role: National Monitoring Manager \, Land Surveys \nExperienced professional Senior Surveyor with an MBA in Project Management. Drew has worked across a number of different sectors including civil\, mining\, rail and infrastructure projects. For the last 15 year Drew has predominantly work on infrastructure projects in the UK and Australian with a focus on Instrumentation and Monitoring and Geospatial Capture. Drew is passionate about embracing new geospatial data capture techniques that can add value to key infrastructure assets by consistently monitoring change over time. \nDuring his time in the UK Drew also worked of Western Section of Crossrail for over 4 years both on the contract side as a I&M Project Managing and\, on the client\, side overseeing the instrumentation and monitoring contracts\, managing stakeholder interfaces and coordinating damage claims with assessors and insurers. On to the Australia 2015 he started working for Land Survey on project around Australia and has spent the last 8 years working on various project around the Australia and overseas the tendering and delivery of major national projects.

SUMMARY:Thornlie Cockburn Link – BP KWOL Relocation Project
DESCRIPTION:BP KWOL (Kewdale White Oil Line) relocation project forms part of the service relocation works for the Thornlie Cockburn Link project where an existing rail reserve running between the Thornlie Railway Station and the Kwinana Freeway will be used to extend the passenger rail network currently used for freight services only. \nThe relocation works involves a total of 12.5km of DN300 fuel line installed using various techniques including: 11.5km of Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)\, 2x40m of Microtunnel Under Track Crossing (UTX)\, 1.1km of open trenching and 80m of bridge crossing. \nHDD drilling works were split into 12 distinct drill shots varying from 300m up to 1.4km each due to site constraints. \nThis joint event by ATS\, ICE and ASTT provides a great opportunity for members and the attendees to understand the HDD trenchless construction techniques/methodologies during the site briefing and attend the HDD site to witness the operation in action. Total tour duration is expected to be around 1.5 hours including orientation and induction.

SUMMARY:Lessons learnt from past tunnelling project experiences
DESCRIPTION:Many engineers put pressure on themselves to get it right all the time\, but failure is inevitable as an engineer and it’s what you do in response that counts. \nThe main objective of this webinar is to study the case histories that illustrate what went wrong\, why it went wrong\, and how to avoid similar tragedies and learn lessons for future prevention. It will also reinforce the idea that continuous improvement is the key to reduce risk in Tunnelling. \nThis webinar will cover three projects from different dimensions: \n\nBurney Tunnel Project (Melbourne City Link) by Ed Taylor\nLane Cove Tunnel by Brendan Donohue\nDundas Road Sinkhole Incident by Eric Hudson Smith\n\n5.30 – 5.35 pm – Introduction to event & speakers\n5.35 – 6.20 pm – Presentations\n6.20 – 6.30 pm – Q&A\n6.30 – 7.00 pm – Networking (Sydney office only) \n  \nSpeakers\nEd Taylor\nEngineering Support (Tunnelling)\, John Holland \n \nEd is a Charted Professional Engineer\, a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers\, Australia\, and past President of the Australian Tunnelling Society. \nHis tunnelling experience commenced in Melbourne’s sewer and water construction boom period of the early 70’s during the innovative period of hard rock TBM development. This experience lead to a period on the Thomson Dam tunnel works in the early 80’s and then to the Melbourne City Link Road Project\, the first in Australia utilising large road headers. This was the first of four major road tunnels where he was employed in engineering management roles for the contractor. Other notable recent projects were Downtown Line Contract 935\, Singapore and North West Rail Link\, and the Melbourne Metro project in Melbourne. \nEd’s experience on various infrastructure tunnels has enabled him to develop a unique range of technical competencies for which he is well renowned. Over the years he has fine-tuned the balance between the technical requirements of large civil infrastructure projects and the practical needs of construction requirements. \nBrendan Donohue\nConsultant\, Donohue Consulting Pty Limited \n \nAfter being employed by Thiess Pty Ltd for almost 20 years Brendan is now self-employed and offering his services to the building and civil construction industry. \nIn this consulting role since 2014 Brendan has undertaken many assignments on most of the major Infrastructure projects in NSW.

SUMMARY:ATS QLD - Spaceproofing for tunnels
DESCRIPTION:This event is hosted by the ATS Tunnel Systems group and is a joint session with ITEE. \nSpaceproofing is a critical early activity required to inform the design and construction of tunnels and underground spaces. \nIt is important to get the sizing for tunnels right. Too small; the tunnel may not be able to function or be operated as intended. Constructing a tunnel that is too big; you are wasting your money. \nSpaceproofing ensures that all required functions can be accommodated within the planned tunnel volume. This can be a challenge for tunnel design\, which involves reconciling the functional space needs of a large number of stakeholders and resolving many complex physical interfaces early in the design process. \n \n \nEvent program\n5.30pm — In-person registration & networking (catering)\n6.00pm — Webinar commencement\n7.30pm — Webinar conclusion & in-person networking\n8.00pm — In-person conclusion \nSpeakers\n \nTony Peglas BEng\, CPEng\, RPEQ\nPrincipal Aurecon \nTony is a Principal at Aurecon with over 20 years’ experience in the tunnelling industry and has worked on many large-scale tunnelling infrastructure projects including the Inland Rail Project\, West Gate Tunnel Project\, WestConnex New M5 and M4-M5 Link\, NorthConnex\, Airport Link Project\, Clem7 and Cross City Tunnel. Tony is the Australasian Tunnelling Society (ATS) representative on the Austroads Tunnels Taskforce which undertakes research on new technologies and best practice for road tunnel projects. \n \nTom Starling\nAssociate Principal – Mechanical ECI \nTom Starling is a mechanical engineer with 16 years of experience in process\, industrial\, mining\, infrastructure\, water and defence sectors. \nTom works for EIC Activities\, a member of the CIMIC group. Tom has worked with tunnel space-proofing strategies all around Australia and overseas\, in transport\, power and mining applications with sister companies CPB\, Thiess\, Leighton Asia\, and their joint venture partners. Tom’s background is in delivery of design and technical services\, but his role at EIC Activities sees him advising a wide audience of engineers\, stakeholders\, operators and financers in all phases of project development\, approaching issues from a range of perspectives. \n \nChris Baker \nTunnel Systems Design Manager – UGL Brisbane \nChris is an engineering design manager with UGL and works within the Major Projects Underground Infrastructure team designing road and rail tunnels within Australia\, with recent detail design experience on M6 in Sydney and Cross river rail in Brisbane.  He has a degree in mechanical engineering\, a master degree project management and an MBA.  Chris has a very board experience of mechanical and electrical tunnel systems including Fire and Life Safety and Security in design and enjoys the challengers that come with Major Projects. \nPrior to working on road and rail tunnels\, Chris worked on tunnels in the mining industry focusing on services design and gained construction and commission experience.

SUMMARY:Thames Tideway Tunnel
DESCRIPTION:Presentation outline\n \nThis presentation will give an overview of the different soft ground tunnelling techniques used on the Thames Tideway Project. The main focus will be on the west section of the Thames Tideway Tunnel in London\, where an earth pressure balance tunnel boring machine and sprayed concrete lining methods were employed. The talk will explore specific characteristics of the project and some of the challenges the team faced. \nThe overall Tideway scheme is a significant new combined sewage storage and transfer system that will help protect the River Thames by tackling the problem of overflows from the capital’s Victorian sewers. The main tunnel\, a major component of the system\, runs from Acton in west London to Abbey Mills Pumping Station in east London; controlling the most polluting combined sewer overflows by intercepting\, storing and conveying the discharges\, which currently flow into the river. \nSpeaker\n \nChristina Trigle is a civil engineer working in London and a member of the British Tunnelling Society Young Members (BTSym). She graduated from Imperial College London and has spent most of her career to date delivering the Thames Tideway Tunnel project\, working for BAM Nuttall. She is currently seconded to Ramboll\, working within their tunnels and underground space team. \nReminder: CPD records cannot be automatically recorded for this event and will need to be recorded by participants.  After registration for the event you will receive an email with and .ics file which will need to be opened to add the event to your calendar.

SUMMARY:Impact of building construction on existing tunnels: one-day seminar
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a one-day seminar in April 2023 on the impacts that building construction has on tunnels. There is an increasing demand for the assessment of the potential impact of new building construction\, including new tunnels\, on existing tunnels and other underground infrastructure. \nThere are limited resources both on the approvals side and for developers to carry out these assessments and particularly in a timely manner. \nThe purpose of this seminar is for presentations\, papers and a panel discussion to provide useful information for the broad range of participants involved. Particularly referring standards and guidelines including applicability of structural and geotechnical assessment criteria. \nThe tunnels involved could be road\, rail\, sewer\, or water supply. Topics could also include analysis case studies\, monitoring methods and data\, dilapidation surveys\, the approval process\, predictions of impacts verses actual impacts and any economic\, property or legal issues. \nCall for abstracts \nAbstracts are requested for the One-day Seminar by 31 October 2022. Final papers are to be submitted by the 30 January 2023 and notification of acceptance of papers will be given by the end of February 2023. \nAbstracts should be no more than 400 words. Preferably they should be based on actual case studies that the author(s) or their organisation has had direct experience with. They can be about projects from anywhere in Australia or from overseas. Authors can submit more than one paper. \nThe lodgement of this abstract does not indicate automatic inclusion in the one-day seminar program. Please note that the main presenting author must be the one to submit the abstract. The format of the paper will be provided to the authors. There is a maximum of 10 pages for each paper. \nAbstracts must be submitted by completing our online form. \nAuthors will be notified of abstract status by mid-November 2022

SUMMARY:Tunnel systems: three decades of Australian tunnel systems operation stall and axial fan parallel operation
DESCRIPTION:This event will be held online and in-person (Sydney\, Melbourne\, Brisbane). \nPresentation outline\nThis is the first technical session of the ATS Tunnel Systems Group. This technical session will be in three parts. \nPART 1\nThree Decades of Australian Tunnel Systems Operation Bob Allen\, General Manager Sydney Harbour Tunnel. Bob’s 30 years operating then managing SHT means that he has had a hand in almost the complete lifecycle of a tunnel\, missing only tunnel decommissioning. His insights on maintenance\, systems upgrading\, and process improvement are built over three major systems upgrade cycles\, understanding the approaches\, what is important and what works well. Through those 30 years\, societal approaches to safety have also moved on\, and SHT has been a leader in the change in tunnel operations\, driven in no small part by Bob. \nBob will lead us through some of the changes that have been made to SHT in tunnel systems\, operations\, and operational safety\, drawing lessons where applicable for road tunnels more generally. \nPART 2 \nLee Brown will discuss Stall & Axial Fan Parallel Operation. Lee has been to be involved with the majority of major Australian and New Zealand Road and Metro Tunnel infrastructure projects. Directly involved with the design and supply of Jet & Axial Fans\, Fire Dampers and Sound Attenuation. \nPART 3 \nThe technical session will Finish with an Update from Conrad Stacey on the AS4825 work of ATS the update of the Tunnel Fire Design Standard \nLocation\nThis event will be held in multiple locations: \n\nSydney: Aurecon Office\, Level 5\, 116 Military Road\, Neutral Bay\, NSW\nArrival and registration 5.00pm AEDT\nBrisbane: Stacey Agnew Office\, Unit 4\, 35 Limestone Street\, Darra\, QLD\nArrival and registration 4.00pm AEST\nMelbourne: Engineers Australia\, Level 31\, 600 Bourke Street\, Melbourne VIC\nArrival and registration 5.00pm AEDT\n\nImportant note: CPD records cannot be automatically recorded for this event and will need to be recorded by participants. \nSpeakers\nBob Allen\nGeneral Manager Sydney Harbour Tunnel\nBob started as a tunnel controller three months prior to the opening of Sydney Harbour Tunnel in August 1992\, becoming Operations Manager in August 1993. At the end of the concession period in August 2022\, Bob will finish up with the Sydney Harbour Tunnel Company\, having spent the last 23 years as its General Manager. Bob’s leadership within the tunnel community was instrumental in starting the Australian Tunnel Operators Group and in formalising training and qualification of tunnel operators. Bob’s initiatives on tunnel operations and safety come up in many conversations in the tunnel community\, with his philosophies and knowledge on tunnel operation and safety recognised internationally. \nLee Brown\nTunnel & Metro – Business Manager\nInvolved with ventilation for nearly 25 years\, with companies Fan Systems UK\, Witt & Sohn Germany\, Fantech Australia and more recently as Director of TROX Australia.
