SUMMARY:Management and maintenance of challenging tunnel sewer cleans
DESCRIPTION:In-person (Brisbane) and online \nWhilst the glamourous rail and road tunnels are visible and exciting to the public in the modern era with ample space to perform maintenance activities\, the forgotten world of utility tunnels are just as important in keeping our societies operating since the first millennium BCE. \nUtility tunnels are smaller than their larger transport cousins\, and with the added issue of noxious gas environments makes maintaining these tunnels inherently more difficult. Veolia undertakes routine maintenance activities on drainage networks including sewer tunnels. It is important to share the challenges faced with the management\, and maintenance of these tunnels after construction is completed. \nSpeaker\nLee Gnezdiloff  \nLee is currently a Project Manager for Veolia Network Services delivering challenging and complex maintenance projects within SEQ. With more than 20 years’ experience in the water and construction industry and as an RPEQ since 2007 he has been the engineer responsible for conveyance network designs from concept through to IFC drawing packages. \nAs a project manager\, Lee has managed teams to deliver network pipelines and pumping infrastructure\, and supporting infrastructure including civil buildings and structures\, dams (raw and tailings)\, creek diversions\, roads both flexible and rigid\, and bridges and culverts across various locations in Queensland. Lee has worked for various private and public clients\, specialising as a superintendent’s representative under the contract for conveyance networks and civil infrastructure construction projects for the past 10 years. \nEvent overview\nArrival and registration: 5.30pm – 6.00 pm AEST\nWebinar / presentation: 6.00pm – 7.00 pm AEST\nNetworking: 7.00pm – 7.30pm AEST

SUMMARY:Subterranean Geographies in Australia
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, there has been what Squire and Dodds’ (2020) describe as a “subterranean ‘turn’” in geographical scholarship. A critical recognition that geography has tended to have a “surface bias” and that an understanding of how the subterranean worlds (e.g.\, underground infrastructure\, aquifers\, minerals\, cave system\, underground imaginaries\, subterranean cosmologies) are entangled with surface lives and processes. \nOver the past year\, leading geographical journals have launched special issues focused on the “underground” including: Geopolitics (see Squire and Dodds 2020); Emotion\, Space and Society (see Nieuwenhuis and Nassar 2020); Geoforum (see Woon and Dodds\, 2021); and Political Geography (see Marston and Himley\, 2021). In total\, there are 34 articles featured across these special issues – with articles focused on case studies in Africa\, Asia\, Europe\, North America and South America. However\, not a single paper focuses on Australian undergrounds. This is a critical omission. For one\, subterranean space\, its exploitation and use\, is a contemporaneous topic in Australia. For example\, there are mass large-scale underground tunneling occurring across all of Australia’s cities\, which are being funded by billions of dollars in public monies; underground space is important part of Country – materially and spiritually – for Indigenous groups across the continent\, the resource extraction sector has a disproportionate influence on Australian publics and is a key focus on national and economic ‘development’ agendas. Australia is also home to the largest underground aquifer in the world – the Great Artesian Basin – which plays a critical role in various lives and livelihoods (human and the more-than human). There are multiple\, and often conflictive\, undergrounds across Australia and is important to talk about them. \nThere are range of scholars from multiple disciplines doing critical work on underground and underwater in Australia\, The underground has been a significant site of research of physical geography\, for example in the fields of geomorphology\, structural geology\,  hydrology and speleology. It is also the focus of social sciences like Human Geography\, Archaeology\, Anthropology\, Urban Planning and Law. Thus\, as a topic\, it presents a unique opportunity for a multiplicity of disciplines to connect in truly meaningful ways. \nThe purpose of this Symposium is to bring together “underground” and “underwater” geography scholars in Australia together in order to discuss and identify key Australian-related themes for the “subterranean turn” – a “down under subterranean turn” if you will – and to map  future avenues so that this scholarship is more directly contributing to international debates on underground geographies. The Symposium will be structured over two days. \nFind out more.

SUMMARY:The Main Range Railway — ATS 50 Year Celebration Series
DESCRIPTION:Webinar\, 1-2 pm AEST \nOverview\nThis webinar will provide the history of the Southern and Western Railway of Queensland which runs from the town of Ipswich to Toowoomba\, a distance of 78 miles\, and divided into two branches\, one running to Dalby\, a distance of 52 miles\, and the other to Warwick\, a distance of 62 miles\, making a total of 192 miles. \nThe ascent of the Main Range from Murphy’s Creek to Toowoomba made this one of the most difficult sections to engineer. It involved steep gradients\, numerous rocking cuttings\, and 11 tunnels—also in rock—which had to be lined with brickwork\, and of which one is 27 chains in length. \nEngineers also faced challenges of twenty iron bridges\, with lattice girders\, 12 feet apart from centre to centre\, and in spans varying from 60 feet to 100 feet\, with an amount of waterway almost unparalleled on a similar length of line. \nSpeaker\nGreg Hallam\nHistorian Queensland rail \nGreg Hallam has been with Queensland Rail since 2000. He is a third-generation member of the Queensland railways\, with a grandfather commencing as a locomotive cleaner in Bundaberg in 1911. Greg is a postgraduate student of the University of Queensland and is a member of the Professional Historians Association of Queensland. Having been active professionally in the community history and cultural heritage field\, his working career has also included being the Queensland Heritage Registrar with the former Department of Environment and Heritage. He has also been published in several journals\, such as Queensland History.

SUMMARY:ATC2 Symposium 2021 - Digital transformation in tunnelling
DESCRIPTION:ATC2 stands for Austrian Tunnel Competence Center and represents a platform for innovation and know-how transfer in the field of tunnel construction. Besides developments in the field of the traditional cyclical tunneling method\, NATM\, continuous tunneling as well as special underground construction measures are also dealt with. Special challenges and innovations from deep-lying rock tunneling to urban (shallow) loose rock tunneling\, are considered. \nThe ATC2 Symposium replaces the previous Südbahntagung and was first held on 29.11.2019 at the TU Graz. \nThe theme for the ATC2 Symposium 2021 is “digital transformation in tunneling”; a topic which is being promoted both by the Chair of Subsurface Engineering at MU Leoben and the Institute for Rock Mechanics and Tunneling at TU Graz. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of tunnel construction contributions regarding digitalization from all branches of tunnel construction will be addressed. \nIn 2021 the ATC2 Symposium will be held directly after the Tunnel Boring in Difficult Grounds (TBMDiGs) conference\, and it will be possible to register for both events at a reduced combination registration price. More information about the TBMDiGs can be found here: TBMDiGs. \nWe offer for the first time the possibility of a synchronised live and online participation.

SUMMARY:The Gold Coast Seaway Project—ASTT Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The Australasian Society for Trenchless Technology is holding its final webinar of the year on 25 November\, on the subject of The Gold Coast Seaway Project – Works Design Challenges and has again kindly extended the invitation of the free webinar to ATS members. \nThe webinar will be a joint presentation by Barnabas Ilko\, Principal Structural Engineer and Trevor O’Shannessey\, Principal Geotechnical Engineer from Golder Associates. It will be held on Thursday 25 November from 1-2 pm AEDT. \nPresentation overview\nThe City of Gold Coast required an upgrade of the existing recycled water release system at the Southport Seaway\, to accommodate continuing population growth. The project solution included a pipe capable of transferring 6\,300 l/s of recycled water from the mainland across the Broadwater seaway via a marine pipeline to an outfall located off South Stradbroke Island. \nIn order to protect the waterways from environmental impacts\, an alternative construction method to the original dredged pipeline plan was proposed by the builder John Holland and their specialist subcontractor Bothar Boring and Tunnelling Australia (Bothar). This alternative adopted trenchless construction using micro tunnelling methods. \nThe project involved the tunnelling of two  separate drives\, the first being a 1385m length of bored tunnel beneath the Broadwater Seaway between Quota Park on the mainland and South Stradbroke Island. It included the construction of two deep shafts and a 2.5m (OD) reinforced concrete carrier pipe that was installed with pipe jacking techniques. \nThe second drive involved a trenchless 617m crossing between Quota Park and O’Connell Park\, including a section beneath Biggera Creek that was constructed using pipe jacking and micro tunnelling using a 1.94m (OD) glass-reinforced plastic pipe. \nGolder was engaged by Bothar to join the project team and provide temporary works design support\, design services for the tunneling works\, construction support that included site attendance across both drives. This presentation will discuss some of the challenges from the designer’s perspective. \nAs an online attendee\, you will be able to attend the webinar from anywhere and will be able to submit questions that will be answered at the end of the presentation. \nView the webinar using this link.\nIf you experience difficulties in joining this free event\, then please email Jeff Pace\, ASTT Secretary on secretary@astt.com.au for assistance.

SUMMARY:ATS VIC - Rock mass parameters estimation for numerical modelling of tunnels
DESCRIPTION:Presentation Summary \nIn order to conduct rigorous geotechnical design of underground space\, it is recognized that the impact of scale on the response of the excavated system needs to be well understood. In this regard\, one of the major challenges is to translate the small measured (laboratory) geomechanical properties and those of the joints observed at a larger scale to a scale and stress-dependant strength value for design. . Dr Keneti’s presentation presents a comprehensive review of existing geomechanical data for the Hawkesbury Sandstone and demonstrates an analysis of strength-scale dependency. Large-scale\, Synthetic Rock Mass (SRM) tests have been completed to establish a strength-scale relationship that considers defect spacing. Validation of the SRM sample responses has been completed for both the strength and deformation modulus based on reported and/or commonly accepted characteristics of a tunnel-scale rock mass. The presentation highlights the importance of inputs as well as the process involved in the estimation of rock mass parameters for FEM/DEM numerical modelling of underground structures. \n       \n  \nSpeaker bio \nAli Keneti (PhD\, PEng) is a senior engineer at McMillen Jacobs (Melbourne) conducting ground-structures interaction studies in Itasca Flac3D and 3DEC for tunnelling projects in AU/NZ regions.

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:Trenchless renewal of Unitywater's water main at Narangba
DESCRIPTION:The Australasian Society for Trenchless Technology is holding a webinar on Unitywater’s Water Main—Narangba\, Queensland and have kindly extended the invite to the ATS. \nThe ASTT is thrilled to provided this free webinar which will be a joint presentation by Will Zillmann from Interflow\, and Andrew Lindsay and CJ Mitchell from Unitywater. \nOverview\nAgeing pressure water main infrastructure represents a significant risk to water authorities throughout Australia and New Zealand (A/NZ). Asbestos cement (AC) pipe makes up around 40\,000 to 50\,000km of these assets across the A/NZ region. Most of these AC assets are reticulation sizes (DN100/150) and\, with an average life expectancy of around 60 years\, represent a major financial\, environmental and social risk as they come to the end of their service life. \nUnitywater has a significant cohort of these AC water main assets and have been actively searching for a sustainable renewal solution to replace traditional methods such as lift and relay. Traditional methods can be slow\, expensive and risky\, with no known safe exposure level for asbestos. \nThe RediFlow® technology bundle by Interflow is one such solution to address the desires of Water Authorities\, such as Unitywater\, for safe and sustainable methods to renew these essential assets. The RediFlow® technology bundle is the amalgamation of Interflow’s innovative die-reduction slip lining technology (TiteFlow® H112) and their patented in-line water stop technology (Infrastop®). Together\, this pairing offers a sustainable\, trenchless renewal option for existing AC watermains. \nRecently\, Unitywater partnered with Interflow to trial RediFlow® on 481m of DN100 AC reticulation pipe in the suburb of Narangba. This paper will walk through the trial from inception to delivery and share the results of this innovative process\, which delivered a cost-effective solution with low environmental and community impacts as well as minimal asbestos exposure risk.\n \nJoin the webinar on 28 October at 1 pm AEDT using this Zoom link. \nIf you experience difficulties in joining this free event\, then please email Jeff Pace\, ASTT Secretary on secretary@astt.com.au for assistance. \n

SUMMARY:Crushed waste glass re-use in tunnel shotcrete production
DESCRIPTION:To attend in-person register via the Engineers Australia registration link\, or join the webinar here.\nJoin the Queensland Branch of the Australian Tunnelling Society for a presentation by Dr Mehdi Serati. He will provide an update on the latest results from his industry-sponsored project using crushed waste glass (CWG) to replace sand in shotcrete used to support tunnels and underground spaces. \nAbstract: According to the International Tunnelling Society\, the global demand for underground constructions will boom in the coming years\, with around $42 billion of investment in the tunnelling sector in Australia alone. This trend can be seen already by nine out of 12 current state and federal government infrastructures related to underground road and rail tunnelling projects in Australia. With such an increased demand for tunnelling\, shotcrete has also received increased attention for ground support in tunnels and mines. For example\, in 2018 800\,000 m3 of shotcrete was used in Australia with 500\,000 m3 used in underground constructions\, and 300\,000 m3 in civil basements\, swimming pools and embankments. \nShotcrete (or sprayed concrete) is concrete in nature that needs to be pneumatically projected onto the target surface from a nozzle at a high (typically 20-30 m/s of impact) velocity to generate a dense homogeneous mass. But\, unlike conventional concrete\, shotcrete mixes are rich in sand and require an increased binder content to coat the surface. Shotcrete industries have therefore suffered from a significant rise in the overall cost in recent years\, mainly due to steep hikes in the price of sand. This can be attributed to the widespread use of sand in today’s industries that has made it the second-most consumed resource on earth after fresh water. Recycling local wastes to replace the rapidly reducing natural and quarried sand is therefore becoming of urgent interest in Australia and worldwide in the construction and tunnelling sectors. \nThis presentation will summarise the results of a recent trial project at UQ Civil\, supported by GCP Applied Technologies and Aurecon\, on the applicability assessment of crushed waste glass re-use in shotcrete production. \nGuest speaker\nDr Mehdi SeratiBSc MSc PhD (Geotechnical Engineering) MAusIMM\nAssistant Professor (Lecturer)\nDeputy Manager\, Large Open Pit Project   \nDr Mehdi Serati completed his PhD at The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) through The University of Queensland (UQ) in Brisbane\, Australia in Rock Mechanics and Rock Fracture Mechanics. His main research interests include the design and setup of advanced experiments with diverse engineering materials including pavements\, brittle composites\, ceramics\, hard rocks\, and superbly hard diamond composites. Dr Mehdi is a Lecturer at UQ Civil and Deputy Manage of the Large Open Pit Project (LOP). His areas of work are analytical methods and computational modelling of geotechnical problems\, materials testing\, rock mechanics and rock fracture mechanics.

SUMMARY:Advances in soil conditioning technology used on Earth Pressure Balance Tunnel Boring Machines
DESCRIPTION:During tunnelling with Earth Pressure Balance Tunnel Boring Machines (EPB-TBMs) huge amounts of soil are removed for the tunnel construction with foams and polymers mixed in during excavation to modify its characteristics. This process\, which is directly linked to TBM performance\, is called soil conditioning and is an important factor in achieving a project’s target advance rate. \nThe potential environmental impacts of the soil conditioning regime also require close consideration\, as the conditioning agents can encounter underground water and remain in the excavation spoil for a period\, so repurposing of tunnel spoil depends upon the material being non-toxic\, a major commercial consideration. Soil conditioning products should therefore be selected for performance with minimal potential for environmental impact—considering their toxicity and biodegradability. \nJoin Richard Schulkins and Luke Foyster for an overview of soil conditioning fundamentals\, new environmentally friendly technology\, and learn from the shared experience of MAPEIs Underground Technology Team (UTT) on EPB projects worldwide\, including Europe’s largest EPB project—Santa Lucia in Northern Italy. \nSpeakers\nRichard Shulkins\n \nRichard has worked in the tunnelling industry since graduating from Camborne School of Mines in 1989. He has worked for Mapei since 2005 in sales and whilst he enjoyed working as a contractor\, he has come to realise that working in sales\, his knowledge base has risen as exponentially as his air miles. This is due to being called to projects worldwide in a problem-solving capacity. He is firmly of the belief that tunnelling is the most interesting and satisfying career choice he could have made.

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

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.

SUMMARY:ATS QLD – What does NASA know about building a tunnel?
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Australian Tunnelling Society\, Queensland Chapter for a presentation titled “What Does NASA Know About Building a Tunnel?”\, which aims to describe what systems assurance is and why it matters to tunnelling engineers.\nEngineers are natural problem solvers. Have you ever looked at a tunnel or structure in use and thought ‘If only they had known that was how it would be used\, they could have…?’ \nIf we consider each element of built infrastructure in the context of its sustained intended purpose\, then we have more of a chance of reducing those future challenges in service. We can assure the integration of all parts will create a complete functioning system of civil\, structural\, mechanical\, electrical\, electronic\, software and human elements that can work together to fulfill a need. We can increase the likelihood that our contributions support achieving the complete benefits hoped for if we start out with the end purpose in mind. \nThe presentation will introduce the concept of systems engineering as an approach to assuring a system that meets the needs of the end user and is built correctly\, taking the audience through a brief history of systems engineering as an approach to assure a mission critical system is designed and built right first time for its intended mission. \nThere will be consideration of whole of life challenges\, with specific examples of where a whole of system approach early in the design could have solved those ‘if only’ moments for engineers who must fix things up after the tunnellers have gone. \nThe presentation will discuss the opportunities and challenges of being the early contributors to the overall system design\, and include thoughts of how tunnelling engineers are already using systems engineering processes and techniques to get their tunnel right\, including blast design\, pilot tunnels and modelling. \nSpeaker\nJane Copperthwaite\, BEng (Hons)\, CPEng\, FIEAust\, MIRSE\, RPEQ \nSystems Assurance Manager\, Cross River Rail \n \nJane Copperthwaite is a Chartered Professional Engineer and Fellow of the Institute of Engineers Australia. Jane started her career with British Rail in 1991 as a signalling and telecommunications engineer. She gained her ground up rail experience working in rail maintenance and asset management and this gave her a whole-of-life and whole-of-system understanding of the railway. Jane progressed into project engineering management with a rail infrastructure renewal contractor where she was the assurance lead for a number of multi discipline network enhancement projects. In 2007 Jane moved to Australia leaving infrastructure projects to join signalling supplier Ansaldo STS. She was subsequently appointed their Global Head of Systems Engineering. After Ansaldo STS\, Jane took up consulting\, specialising in systems assurance using systems engineering. Over the past four years she has primarily been involved in assignments relating to the Cross River Rail projects and last year was appointed to her current position as Systems Assurance Manager for the CRR Program with the Cross River Rail Delivery Authority.
