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:ATS VIC - Challenges in creating caverns in urban areas - Melbourne Metro Tunnel
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Banks is the Caverns Director\, CBD Stations working on Melbourne’s Metro Tunnel Project. He will detail construction of the project’s CBD-based station caverns\, discussing strategies for the design and construction of the caverns and underground spaces below significant existing infrastructure. Andrew will outline cavern support practices\, including staging for excavation and cavern support\, as well as concrete elements for the cavern structures. \nAndreas Mindt is Construction Manager for the Metro Tunnel Project’s East Precinct. Responsible for managing all aspects of TBM tunnelling from South Yarra through to the new Town Hall Station in the CBD\, Andreas will discuss all aspects of cross passage construction\, from initial ground improvement considerations and related preparatory works\, through to excavation and construction. \nThe joint presentation will cover challenges faced during the construction of the Metro Tunnel Project and will shed light on how complex underground works were tackled in densely urbanised and geotechnically challenging areas. \nProgram:\n5.30 pm – 6.00 pm Networking (catering provided)\n6.00 pm – 7.00 pm Presentation\n7.30 pm – Event concludes \nSpeaker\nAndrew Banks MIEAust CPEng NER APEC Engineer IntPE(Aus)\nCaverns Director\, CBD Stations CYP Design & Construction Joint Venture \n \nAndrew Banks is currently working as Caverns Director\, CBD Stations on Melbourne’s Metro Tunnel Project. He is an accomplished civil engineer with a deep knowledge of the Australian and international tunnelling and micro tunnelling sectors and is proficient in all aspects of business development\, tendering and project delivery. \nAndrew has delivered projects across civil sectors including road and bridge construction\, sewer\, water and stormwater installation\, tunnelling\, earthworks\, concrete and steel structures. \nAndreas Mindt\nConstruction Manager\, CBD Stations CYP Design & Construction Joint Venture \n \nAndreas Mindt has 18 years’ experience in working on projects with pressurised tunnel boring machines (TBMs). He started his working career as a graduate engineer on the SMART tunnel project in Malaysia which\, at the time\, employed the fourth largest TBM ever used. After moving to Australia in 2006\, further work sent him to Singapore where he worked on metro tunnel projects in very challenging ground conditions. \nAndreas returned to Australia in late 2017 to help build the first TBM tunnels under Sydney Harbour and has recently completed TBM tunnelling of the eastern section of the Metro Tunnel Project\, including successfully tunnelling under the Yarra River \n \n

SUMMARY:Glen Iris to Cockburn Blockade - The successful reconstruction of 3.5km of the Mandurah rail line over Christmas and New Year 2021/22
DESCRIPTION:The Australian Tunnelling Society and the Institution of Civil Engineers invite you to an evening of knowledge sharing\, Q&A\, and networking. \nFor 20 days between 26 December 2021 and 14 January 2022 the Mandurah rail line was blockaded (closed) between Glen Iris and Cockburn to reconstruct the Mandurah line tracks on a new alignment to make space for the future construction of the new Thornlie-Cockburn Link. This was the longest ever blockade of a PTA line and affected the busiest section of the network. \nThe works were successfully completed\, and the line was handed back to passenger service on schedule at full line speed (130 km/h) and without operational restriction\, the first time this has happened after a major blockade on the PTA network. \nEvent Timeline – Thursday\, 23 June 2022\n5.30pm – 6.00pm: Networking and refreshments\n6.00pm – 7.00pm: Presentation\n7.00pm – 8.00pm Networking and refreshments \nSpeaker\n\n\nMr Graham HoldenGraham is the Engineering Manager for the NEWest Alliance delivering the Thornlie-Cockburn Link and the Yanchep Rail Extension projects for PTA. Graham has more than 30 years’ experience in rail across engineering delivery\, design\, maintenance and operations. Graham started his career with British Rail and moved to Australia in 2000. His work has taken him to more than a dozen countries\, including Canada\, Indonesia\, Russia & Ukraine. He is a Chartered Engineer and holds a Masters degree in Rail Systems Engineering.
