SUMMARY:NSW - Collaborative Procurement of Underground Works The FIDIC Emerald Book
DESCRIPTION:In June 2018\, the NSW government released ‘A ten point commitment to the construction sector’. The statement\, developed by the NSW Government’s Construction Leadership Group (CLG)\, includes a commitment to ‘procure and manage projects in a more collaborative way’.  To inform this discussion the ATS wishes to introduce the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) ‘Emerald Book Conditions of Contract for Underground Works’.  This is the first international contract form specifically tailored for underground works.  It has a specific focus on the inherent geotechnical subsurface risks associated with this type of construction.\n\n\nThe document\, developed by the ITA and first issued in May 2019\, is based on the principle that risks shall be allocated to the Party that is best positioned to manage them. The presentation will provide an overview of the main concepts of the new FIDIC Emerald Book\, with emphasis on the use of the Geotechnical Baseline Report (GBR) as the key document that defines the contractual geotechnical baselines agreed by the Parties and the risk allocation mechanisms that are used for re-measurement and adjustment of construction time and cost. \n\nThe ITA press release for the Emerald Book can be found here. \n\nAbout the Speaker\nAlex Gomes is a civil engineer with over 27 years of international experience in the design and construction of multi-disciplinary tunnel and underground works and applied geotechnical and geomechanical engineering. Alex has worked on major projects across Europe\, Asia\, Australasia and the Americas\, including projects of subways\, railways\, roads\, mining\, utilities\, water and hydropower plants\, providing expert advice on technical\, forensic and contractual aspects for sub-surface works. \nAlex holds the position of Chief Technical Principal – Tunnels and Underground at SMEC and is the past Vice-President of the International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association (ITA-AITES).During the preparation of the FIDIC Emerald Book\, Alex acted on behalf of ITA as a peer-reviewer of the document. \n\n\n\n\nDate: 16th October\nTime: 5.30PM for a 6PM Start\nVenue: Engineers Australia\, Chatswood NSW\nCost: Free for ATS & EA Members\nEvent Contact: memberservices@engineersaustralia.org.au \nClick here to see flyer \nClick here to register \n\n

SUMMARY:ATS QLD - Art or Science – The Engineering Behind Waterproofing in Underground Structures
DESCRIPTION:Australia is fortunate to have built some of the driest tunnels in the World over the past 20 years with a very strong track record in achieving the highest specification requirement of ‘no damp patches’ over many hundreds of kilometres of tunnel construction.  However\, this hasn’t always been the case.  In fact\, early tunnels built in the 1980s and 90s\, suffered severe water damage and cost contractors hundreds of millions of dollars in rectification works. \nThe presentation will cover how the Australian tunneling industry transformed itself by adopting International Standards and a strong engineering approach to waterproofing solutions and details.  We will overview practices from other parts of the World\, relevant standards\, specifications and experiences using various engineer designed solutions and how these apply to all types underground basements and structures. \nBiography \nDaniel Bosco is Director and Founder of Bluey Technologies Pty Ltd. \nDaniel has a Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) from the University of Technology Sydney and has also completed post graduate studies in concrete technology and rehabilitation.  Following completion of his studies\, Daniel worked on a number of large infrastructure projects such as Airport Link Tunnel in Sydney\, Taiwan High Speed Rail and other significant tunnel projects built around the region over the past 25 years. \nIn 2003 Daniel started product supply company Bluey Technologies.   Bluey specialises in polymer\, cementitious and resin based products for concrete protection and repair.  The company has grown rapidly and has since become a supplier to some of the largest construction companies throughout Australia\, New Zealand and South-East Asia.  Bluey Technologies has completed approximately 5\,000\,000sqm of waterproofing supply and application across the region. \n\n\n\n\nDate: Thursday 17 October 2019 \nTime: 5.30pm to 7.30pm \nVenue: Hawken Auditorium\, Engineering House\, 447 Upper Edward St\, Spring Hill QLD 4000 \nCost:Free for Members & Students/$30 for Non-Members \nEvent Contact:memberservices@engineersaustralia.org.au \nClick here to see flyer \nClick here to register

SUMMARY:ATS VIC - Groundwater and Tunnelling in Melbourne – considerations\, complexities and a recent project example and 2019 Australian Tunnelling Society Victorian Group Annual Special Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Groundwater and Tunnelling in Melbourne: considerations\, complexities and a recent project example \nRegistrations: https://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/event/2019/10/groundwater-and-tunnelling-melbourne-considerations-complexities-and-recent-project \n  \nThe hydrogeology of Melbourne is highly variable. The intersected and surrounding ground conditions of tunnelling projects will strongly influence the groundwater response and consideration for required groundwater control. This presentation will provide an overview of Melbourne’s hydrogeology as well as relating this to challenges in tunnelling projects. The example of groundwater assessment and control measures adopted for the EastLink project will be presented\, along with discussion on the implications for environmental and performance requirements for current tunnelling projects. \n  \nThe EastLink tunnels were constructed in an ecologically sensitive environment in eastern Melbourne. The project adopted strict tolerances on groundwater drawdown and tunnel ingress. In permanent design a fully tanked tunnel design option with compartmentalisation of the tunnel using cut-off and grout curtain was adopted which was a first in Australia. \n  \nBios: \n  \nPeter Campi \nPeter Campi has over 20 years of experience as a geologist\, engineering geologist\, and geotechnical engineer and is a graduate from RMIT. His experience spans both the mining and civil industries including underground and open pit mines\, civil road/rail/water tunnels\, and caverns and surface excavations. His underground experience in Melbourne include EastLink and most recently Melbourne Metro Tunnel Project. Peter is a Principal with Coffey. \n  \nBrigid Moriarty \nBrigid Moriarty has 15 years experience as a hydrogeologist and has a Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Science from The University of Melbourne. Brigid has worked across the groundwater resources\, mining\, oil and gas and transportation and civil infrastructure sectors including road\, rail and water tunnels. She currently leads the specialist groundwater studies and input to the Melbourne Metro Tunnel Project for the Tunnel and Stations PPP package. Brigid is a Principal with Coffey. \n  \n2019 Australian Tunnelling Society Victorian Group Annual Special Meeting \nThe event will start with 2019 Australian Tunnelling Society Victorian Group Annual Special Meeting. The approximate duration of the ASM is 15min with the following agenda: \n\nApologies\nMinutes of 2018 ASM\nMatters Arising\nChairman’s Report\nFinancial Report\nElection of Committee\nOther Business\n\n  \nPlease forward nominations for membership of the committee\, and any business to be raised in the ASM meeting\, to anthony.bennett@aurecongroup.com by Tuesday 29th October 2019. \n  \nIf you would like to discuss Committee membership\, please feel free to contact: \nRichard Buckingham 0439 369 317 richard.buckingham@jhg.com.au \nTony Bennett 0412 529 028 anthony.bennett@aurecongroup.com \nRequirements for Committee membership are\, an interest in tunnelling and financial (or student) membership of the Australian Tunnelling Society. Your commitment will be to attend about six Committee meetings a year. Recently\, these have been held at 5 pm at Engineers Australia\, timed to precede an ATS Technical Session. However\, these arrangements can be changed to suit the new Committee membership. \n  \nThe rules for election are: \n\nATS is required to re-elect the local Committee every two years. On that basis\, we are now calling for nominations for eight vacancies in the general positions to form a new local Committee in Victoria. (four members are continuing their current terms).\nIf you would like to nominate yourself (or someone else with their agreement and details as follows)\, please provide your name as well as a brief statement about what you do and why you would be a good Committee member (refer to the guide below). Nominees must be financial members of the ATS.\nNominations must be received by the returning officer anthony.bennett@aurecongroup.com no later than Tuesday 29th October 2019. Late applications will not be eligible for election.\nIf eight or fewer general nominations are received; a Committee will be formed without a ballot. However\, if more than eight nominations are received\, we shall proceed to a ballot of the members present on the evening to elect the Committee.\n\n  \nSo that the Group functions effectively\, the expected contribution of the elected Committee members includes: \n1)            Organising at least one Technical Session per year\, individually or jointly. (Note that the venue booking and publicising is carried out by the Committee with Engineers Australia). \n2)            Attending the Committee meetings or sending apologies (and a report when needed) if unable to do so. \n3)            Assisting in the forming of sub-committees with at least four to six committee members\, plus others (industry representatives etc.) who could add value to the event when we are due to hold a conference or short course. \n4)            Actively participating in other activities. \n5)            Promoting and supporting the ATS within the tunnelling industry.
