The presentation will describe some of the tunnelling details of both projects. The Brisbane Rail Tunnels were the first major tunnels in Brisbane for many years\, the first use of roadheader technology in Brisbane\, and they kick-started the tunnelling work which has followed. The S1 tunnel was one of the projects which followed and was the longest TBM drive in Brisbane until CRR. The S1 project overcame some significant challenges in its construction. The presentation will also reflect on improvements to technology since. \nHarry Asche is the President of the ATS and the Design Director – Tunnels at Aurecon. He was closely involved in\, and learned so much from\, both projects. \n  \nAndrew Scarr\, Thierry Candito\, Felipe Villafrade\, Stephen Harding\nBreakfast Creek Trunk Sewer Augmentation Project – Brisbane \nPresentation: The Breakfast Creek Trunk Sewer has a sagged section where it passes under the Inner-City Bypass (ICB) and Airport Link on-ramp. This sagged section of sewer has an unclearable blockage and is at risk of collapse. The section consists a 98-year-old unreinforced concrete pipe\, which due to poor ground conditions\, has experienced a vertical settlement in the alignment. Urban Utilities proposes to construct a 1050 metre long OD2150 sewer main between Perry Park\, Bowen Hills and Lutwyche Road\, Windsor using micro-tunnelling trenchless technology. \nAndrew has more than 20 years’ experience in the water and wastewater industry as a seasoned Senior Project Manager who has progress to Construction Manager in recent years.  His intimate knowledge of trenchless techniques\, and his extensive experience with water and waste water infrastructure construction from the front end to hands-on management of procedures and process improvement has allowed him to successfully deliver increasingly complex utility infrastructure projects including construction of gravity and pressure sewer mains\, various civil structures (including deep shafts and concrete caissons) throughout Australia. As Construction Manager\, Andrew provides ongoing and consistent guidance to his construction teams to ensure the success of multiple projects. Andrew has strong technical capability covering many areas of civil construction including but not limited to conventional open trench excavation\, trenchless tunnelling methods such as micro-tunnelling\, deep shaft excavation\, construction of concrete structures and caissons as well as detailed mechanical and electrical work for water and wastewater infrastructure. \nThierry has more than 20 years’ experience in the tunnelling industry leading technically complex engineering projects. His expertise of mechanised excavation using tunnel boring machine and his experience of tunnel construction has allowed him to successfully deliver technically challenging projects. Starting his career as a Plant Engineering in Hong Kong on the KCRC Lok Ma Chau rail line in 2002\, he has since contributed to high profile tunnel projects within Australia and New Zealand. These includes the Brisbane Clem 7 project\, the Brisbane Legacy Way project\, the Perth Forrestfield Airport Link project\, the Auckland Waterview Connection project and more recently the Brisbane Cross River Rail project as the Underground Tunnel Plant Manager. Thierry’s passion for tunnelling and project management has now led him to the next stage of his career in project managing tunnel construction from the design phase through to construction and delivery. \nFelipe is Fulton Hogan Utilities’ Project Manager for the Breakfast Creek Trunk Sewer augmentation project; Felipe has 14 years of experience delivering projects in Australia and over the last 2 years he has been working under the Urban Utilities Wastewater Metropolitan and Metropolitan Treatment Plants programs. \nStephen is Urban Utilities’ Project Manager for the Breakfast Creek Trunk Sewer Augmentation Project who has over 20 years’ experience as a Project Manager with 10 years at Urban Utilities delivering wastewater projects with a number of trenchless projects successfully completed throughout Brisbane. \n  \nColin Ginger General Manager Precast Concrete Group\nPresentation: Case study on the manufacture of 21\,000 tunnel segments for the Gold Coast Desalination Tunnels.
