SUMMARY:ATS QLD - The Queensland Geotechnical Database
DESCRIPTION:The viability of any modern public geotechnical database is influenced by many factors\, including the availability of logs\, an area’s population density\, and seismic risk. The creation of a database may be constrained by questions of liability and intellectual property\, cost\, or by consultants who view a public database as working to their competitive disadvantage. \nThe Queensland Geotechnical Database (QDU; qgd.org.au) was launched in October 2017 with a view to consolidating primarily tax and toll payer subsidised exploratory hole logs into an open platform. The QGD now includes over 1600 geotechnical investigation logs dating back to 1966\, as well as links to over 20 technical papers related to sites in Queensland. \nThis presentation will discuss geotechnical databases around the world\, the process of creating the QGD and opportunities for its growth in support of development and research in Queensland. \nThe evening will feature keynote presentations from established professionals Tim Thompson (Geotechnical Engineer\, Arup) and Jared Priddle (Engineer and Software Developer\, FSG Geotechnics and Foundations)\, followed by designated discussion time in the end. \n  \nSpeakers\n\nTimothy Thompson | Geotechnical Engineer\, Arup\nAfter graduating from Purdue University\, Tim was a Peace Corps volunteer in Panama where he taught land surveying to high school students. He began with Arup in New York City before moving to London for three years to work on preparations for the 2012 Olympics. \nTim arrived in Brisbane in late 2009\, launching the Queensland Geotechnical Database (QGD) with Jared in 2017. \nCurrently\, Tim undertaking part-time research with the University of Queensland and was the AGS Queensland Chair in 2016 and 2017. \n  \n \nJared Priddle | Engineer and Software Developer\, FSG Geotechnics and Foundations Specialists \nBased out of Brisbane\, Jared was previously a civil design drafter before graduating from QUT in 2012 and has since then gained experience in the tendering\, investigation\, design\, construction\, and verification of building and infrastructure projects across Queensland and elsewhere. \nJared has a particular interest in GIS and programming and has applied his skills as the developer and co-founder of the Queensland Geotechnical Database. \n\n\n\n\nDate: 20th June 2019 \nTime: 5:30pm – 7:00pm \nVenue: Hawken Auditorium\, Engineering House\, 447 Upper Edward St\, Spring Hill QLD 4000 \nCost:  Free for Members & Students/$30 for Non-Members \nSession Contact: memberservices@engineersaustralia.org.au \nClick here for the flyer \nClick here to register \nKindly Sponsored by:

SUMMARY:ATS VIC - Snowy Hydro
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nSnowy 2.0 is a proposed pumped-hydro expansion of the Snowy Mountains Scheme\, operated by dynamic energy company Snowy Hydro. The expansion will significantly add to the Scheme’s existing energy generation and large-scale storage capabilities\, securing system stability at times of peak demand. \nThe Snowy 2.0 Geotechnical Investigation has to date delivered over 21 km of borehole drilling from 40 boreholes of up to 1.1km in depth.

SUMMARY:ATS VIC - A Sydney Heads Rail Tunnel & Airport Light Rail
DESCRIPTION:Join the Australasian Tunneling Society (ATS) for a presentation on opportunities for rail tunnels to improve Sydney’s rail connectivity. \nA rail tunnel under Sydney Heads would connect the Sydney CBD through to Gosford via a 60 km long tunnel extension from Bondi Junction Station on the Eastern Suburbs/Illawarra Line\, positioning Brookvale as a new satellite CBD\, only 15 minutes travel time from the Sydney CBD. The project could extend to a faster rail link between Newcastle\, the Sydney CBD and Canberra\, with another option being to connect Parramatta to the Sydney CBD and the Eastern Suburbs railway line through the existing Martin Place Station.  The latter option includes new station platforms and tunnels excavated directly under St James Station\, with another new line\, in tunnels\, perhaps extending to Malabar. \nThis presentation will discuss these options\, as well as the backgrounds and key aspects of the project concepts. \nThe feasibility and opportunities offered by an underground light rail link to Sydney’s airport will also be discussed: light rail can accommodate steeper gradients and tighter curves than heavy rail systems\, and there are possible connections into unused tunnel sections at Wynyard Station. A light rail route that connects North Sydney\, through the CBD and the University of Sydney has been proposed. \nTime: 6:00 to 7:30PM\nVenue: Engineers Australia Victoria\, Level 31 Bourke St\, Melbourne\nSpeaker: Ted Nye\nSession Contact: gcacchione@engineersaustralia.org.au \nClick here to see the flyer \nClick here to register \nSpeaker\nTed Nye: Director\, E J Nye & Associates Pty Ltd \nTed is a consultant specialising in underground engineering for transport related projects\, although he is also currently involved with a pumped storage hydro project. Commencing his career on the Melbourne Underground Rail\, Ted then gained extensive experience overseas before moving to Sydney as the Design Team Leader of the land tunnels of the Sydney Harbour Tunnel. More recent experience includes the Sydney Airport Line soft ground tunnel\, road and bus tunnels in Brisbane\, road tunnels Melbourne and Sydney (including recently as a specialist advisor)\,  and water supply and hydro tunnels in both NSW\, Victoria and overseas. Other recent rail projects include the Melbourne Metro (client side) and Sydney Metro Stage 1 (design). Ted conceived the initial concept of a rail tunnel under Sydney Heads as far back as 1996\, and canvased the idea to the then State-wide Roads. The concept was further developed during 2017 and 2018 with support from industry colleagues Peter Prince and Dr Sam Lackey.

The Route 2020 Metro Project is an extension of the existing Dubai Metro Red Line\, consisting of a branch line starting at Nakheel Harbour and Tower Station and extending to the 2020 Expo Site. The 9.6m Diameter TBM was launched with only 2m of cover.  The Lining design for the tunnel is SFRC Segments however the launch section was designed for standard RC segments. Tunnelling commenced in October 2017 and was completed in June 2018 ahead of schedule\, marking a significant milestone on one of the region’s most economically significant projects. This presentation looks at the associated works including soil replacement\, de-watering and the series of pile and slab structures that enabled the tunnel to be launched at such shallow depths\, as well as the reasons why it was undertaken. \nSpeaker Daniel Garbutt CEng MICE FGS \nDan is a Senior Tunnel Engineer with GHD who previously had been working with CH2M/Jacobs in the Middle East and the UK.

SUMMARY:ATS VIC - Ground Model Development West Gate Tunnel Project\, Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:Key Speaker: Trevor O’Shannessy\, Principal Geotechnical Engineer\, Golder Associates \nDate: Tuesday 5 March 2019 \nTime: Commencing at 6: pm (with refreshments at 5.30pm) \nWhere: Engineers Australia\, Level 31\, 600 Bourke St\, Melbourne \nCost: Free\, refreshments provided (Please register at EA Victorian Division’s events page) \n\n\n\n\nThe West Gate Tunnel Project will provide an alternative river crossing to the West Gate Bridge. The key components of the Project include the widening of the West Gate Freeway\, a tunnel under Yarraville and an elevated motorway that connects the West Gate Freeway with the Port of Melbourne\, CityLink\, and the Melbourne central city. \nTrevor has over 15 years of experience in geotechnical engineering in a wide range of projects. He has been involved in a number major tunnelling projects situated in Melbourne’s complex geology\, including West Gate Tunnel\, Melbourne Metro\, East West Link and Melbourne Main Sewer. \nFor the West Gate Tunnel Project\, Trevor acted as an advisor to Transurban supporting concept through to reference design stages of the project. He continues to remain involved during the current construction phase of this important project. \nThe tunnelling component of the project will pass through variable sedimentary and igneous deposits of the Cainozoic (Quaternary & Tertiary) era. These deposits reflect the complex geological and geomorphological processes that have shaped the region\, including tectonic movements and development of “palaeo-valley” structures. \nThis presentation will discuss the early development of a ground model for the area based on pre-construction geotechnical studies.

SUMMARY:ATS NSW/AGS - A Sydney Heads Rail Tunnel
DESCRIPTION:A SYDNEY HEADS RAIL TUNNEL\nA NEW RAILWAY CORRIDOR WHICH ALSO PROMISES SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE WAY SYDNEY GROWS \nA rail tunnel under Sydney Heads would connect the Sydney CBD through to Gosford via a 60km long tunnel extending from Bondi Junction Station on the Eastern Suburbs/Illawarra Line. Brookvale would become a new satellite CBD\, only 20 minutes train travel time from the Sydney CBD. Ultimately the project could morph into a faster rail link between Newcastle\, the Sydney CBD and Canberra. Another option would be to connect the proposed Sydney Metro West to the Eastern Suburbs railway line via the existing Martin Place Station. The Town Hall Station lower platforms of the Illawarra Line would then be connected directly to St James Station’s new lower platforms via new tunnels. New tunnels\, south of St James Station\, could then be taken to Malabar for example. The project would also reduce urban traffic congestion and more broadly\, improve road safety\, by reducing the number of cars on our roads. \n5:30pm – 6:00pm    Assembly\, light refreshments \n6:00pm – 7:00pm    Presentation \n7:00pm – 7:30pm    Questions\, Discussion & Drinks \nSpeakers:\nTed Nye – Director – EJ Nye & Associates Pty Ltd\, B. Eng(Civil)\, Dip. Eng(Civil)\, FIEAust\, CPEng\, NPER \nTed is a consultant specialising in underground engineering for transport related projects\, although he is also currently involved with a pumped storage hydro project. He commenced his career on the Melbourne Underground Rail and after extensive experience gained overseas moved to Sydney as the Design Team Leader of the land tunnels of the Sydney Harbour Tunnel. More recent experience includes the Sydney Airport Line soft ground tunnel\, road and bus tunnels in Brisbane\, and road tunnels Melbourne and Sydney (in the past year as a specialist advisor). Other recent rail projects being the Melbourne Metro (client side) and Sydney Metro Stage 1 (design). The initial concept of a rail tunnel under Sydney Heads\, Ted conceived as far back as 1996 and canvased the idea to the then Statewide Roads. The concept has been further developed during 2017 and 2018 with support from industry colleagues Peter Prince and Dr Sam Lackey. \n\n\n\n\nDate: 20/02/2019 | 5.30PM for 6PM start \nVenue:  The Zenith Theatre\, Cnr Mcintosh St & Railway St\, Chatswood NSW \nKey Speaker: Ted Nye \nEvent Contact: NKontsevaya@engineersaustralia.org.au \nClick here to register \nClick here to see flyer
