SUMMARY:ATS QLD - St Barbara Day dinner 2022
DESCRIPTION:This event will be held in Australian Standard Time (AEST). This means minus one hour from AEDT time shown on this listing.  \nThis is the yearly celebration and get together for the Queensland Chapter of the ATS\, with a selected charity and raffle being held on the night. We will\, per usual\, seek sponsors for the night. \nThis networking-focused event will recognise the achievements of tunnelling projects and their engineers around the country and will promote the industry. The event is one of the most highly regarded events in the tunnelling calendar. The night will involve welcome drinks\, followed by a Christmas meal\, speeches by the committee and sponsors\, and the lucky door prize draw. \nThe evening will raise funds for Retina Australia by donating a portion of the ticket price to the charity. Retina Australia funds world-leading research into treatments and cures for blindness caused by inherited retinal disease and cares for people and families through peer-to-peer support services. Through education and advocacy Retina Australia works tirelessly to empower around 15\,000 Australians who are living with blindness or vision impairment. \nEvent program\n6.00 pm AEST: Registrations open and event commences \n6:30 pm AEST: Presidents 2022 Address and sponsor acknowledgement \n6:45 pm AEST: Dinner is served \n8.00 pm AEST: Drinks and networking \n10.00 pm AEST: Event concludes \nSponsors

SUMMARY:ATS VIC - St Barbara's Day Celebration
DESCRIPTION:The Victorian Chapter of the Australian Tunnelling Society invites members to attend an in-person celebration for the Feast Day of St. Barbara\, the patron saint of tunnellers and miners\, as an end of year social gathering on Friday 2nd December 2022. \nThis networking-focused event is to be held in the excellent event space at the Melbourne offices of the John Holland Group\, with its indoor area linked to a panoramic balcony overlooking the river and city. The event is being held to recognise and celebrate the past year’s achievements on tunnelling projects within Victoria and nationally\, their engineers and workforce\, and to provide an opportunity to look forward to future tunnelling opportunities. \nThe celebration will be an informal stand-up affair with quality finger food and a range of drinks included in the $40 ticket price\, with all the necessary responsible service requirements in place\, and we have sponsorship from various industry organisations to help offset the catering cost. Registration is live\, so\, please add Friday the 2nd of December to your diaries – we look forward to seeing you there! \nATS Victoria Committee 2022

SUMMARY:Aerodynamics\, ventilation and fire in tunnels
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nIn this webinar\, four papers will be presented from the 19th International Symposium on Aerodynamics\, Ventilation & Fire in Tunnels conference. \nSustainability on the design of large infrastructure to house MEI equipment is currently under a lot of scrutiny and these presentations will tackle the problem from different perspectives. This session will also lay out innovative and state of the art sustainable solutions in an Australian project which have been recognised by international peers. \nKey takeaways\n\nhow sustainability can be considered in design and accounted for in risk analysis\nhow to improve efficiency in longitudinal ventilation with point extraction\nhow to use artificial neural networks to predict critical velocity for tunnel fires\nhow to create\, test and validate a ventilation model for a large rail network\n\nAbout the speakers\nKerem Oguz\nPrincipal Mechanical Engineer\, Mott MacDonald\, Australia \nKerem is a Chartered Mechanical Engineer with over eight years of experience designing tunnel ventilation systems. He has worked on a range of road and rail tunnel projects worldwide. Before moving to Australia from the UK\, Kerem was part of the project team working on the detailed tunnel ventilation design of the Northern Line Extension and the testing and commissioning of Crossrail’s tunnel ventilation system. More recently\, he has been involved in the design of new metros across Australia\, including Sydney Metro and Melbourne’s Suburban Rail Loop. \nGencer Koc\nAssociate Fire Safety and Tunnel Ventilation Engineer\, WSP Australia \nGencer is a mechanical engineer with 18 years’ experience in solving thermo-fluid-related industrial problems. He obtained his PhD on modelling train aerodynamics inside tunnels using machine learning and artificial neural networks in 2012. Gencer has completed the tunnel ventilation system design of more than 180 railway stations and more than 200 km track tunnels. He has participated in the tunnel ventilation system design of more than 20 road tunnels. He is currently working on the fire and life safety systems design of road tunnels in Australia. \nAndrea Paradiso\nLead Tunnel System Engineer\, Aurecon \nAndrea is a Lead Engineer in Aurecon’s Tunnel Systems Team in Melbourne with over 15 years of experience worldwide in fire safety engineering\, tunnel ventilation and computational fluid dynamics.

SUMMARY:ATS NSW Chapter AGM - TBM Tunnelling in the Himalayas
DESCRIPTION:The NSW Chapter of the ATS is having its annual AGM on 14 December 2022. Subhash Soni from TfNSW will also provide a presentation on his experiences with TBM tunnelling in the Himalayas.\nAaron Lippett\, NSW Young Members Representative\, will also provide a brief update on the Young Member’s initiative to update the ATS Tunnel Design Guideline. \nSubhash’s presentation covers the challenges faced during TBM tunnelling in complex Himalayan geology at greater depth where ground conditions are highly variable with numerous fault zones. The complexity of tunnelling in the Himalaya’s coupled with case studies including retrieving the stuck TBMs and retrofitting the machine to resume operations. This promises to be an interesting talk to end the year. \nDr. Subhash Soni is a Fellow member of Engineers Australia and working as Technical Lead for Tunnel Structure within Advance Technical Services of TfNSW. He has more than 20 years’ experience in the design and construction of tunnels in road\, metro\, rail\, hydropower desalination and other utilities.
