SUMMARY:Annual Special Meeting - ATS Victoria
DESCRIPTION:ATS Victoria invites all Victorian-based members to their Annual Special Meeting (ASM) to hear how the Chapter performed over the last year and what is planned for the following year. \nTimings \n5:30 – 6:00 – Networking \n6:00 – 6:15 – Annual Special Meeting \n6:15 – 7:00 – Technical Presentation \n7:00 onwards – Networking \nAgenda \n\nApologies\nMinutes of 2022 ASM\nMatters Arising\nChairman’s Report\nFinancial Report\nElection of Committee for 2024\nOther Business\n\nFollowing the ASM\, Martin Rauer from CREG will make a presentation on sustainable TBM tunnelling\, as per the details below. CREG have kindly offered to sponsor the catering for the event. \nPresentation Outline \nPathway to sustainable TBM tunnelling using intelligent electrical equipment \nSustainability in tunnel construction is becoming an increasingly important topic especially as global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise\, at a time when they need to be rapidly falling. \nTo effectively reduce emissions\, we need to know where they are coming from – which sectors contribute the most. How can we use this understanding to develop effective solutions and mitigation strategies. Reducing the carbon emission footprint by using electrical equipment is just one step and topic of many. \nThis presentation will discuss the development and use of intelligent electrical equipment designed to transport people and materials with a payload of up to 180 tonnes from the surface to a TBM. \nThe specially developed tunnel multi-purpose vehicle was originally supposed to be operational when drilling of the first tunnel. Testing showed that more time was needed before the vehicle could actually get into action. Therefore\, diesel vehicles had to be used for the first tunnel drive. \nHowever\, for the boring of the second parallel tunnel all electric vehicles were ready to go with some interesting results when compared to the first tunnel. \nSpeaker bio \nMartin Rauer\, Mechanical Engineer\, CREG \n \nAfter Martin Rauer completed his apprenticeship as a mechanic specializing in production and manufacturing technology\, he decided to study mechanical engineering in Darmstadt\, Germany. In 1999\, Martin successfully completed his master’s degree based on research into the development of new methods for extending and connecting offshore piles for one of Germany’s largest civil engineering and tunnelling companies\, Bilfinger Berger. He continued his journey at Bilfinger Berger in the years to come\, spending most of his time on major projects worldwide in a senior management position. Martin is currently working for CREG Australia.

SUMMARY:Shotcrete seminar
DESCRIPTION:This one-day seminar is being organised by representatives of the Australian Shotcrete Society (AuSS)\, Australian Tunnelling Society (ATS) and New Zealand Tunnelling Society (NZTS). \nNOTE: To register for the Shotcrete Seminar\, please tick the option in your conference registration.  If you only plan on attending the Shotcrete Seminar\, please select this option under any of the conference registrations selections. \nEvent summary \nShotcrete enables complex underground structures to be built more effectively and efficiently and has opened greater opportunities to develop innovative structures\, whether they are underground or on the surface. Because of its flexibility in construction\, Shotcrete is of critical importance in enabling complex geometrical structures to be constructed. \nThis seminar is going to discuss the basics of shotcrete\, recent innovations\, sustainability\, design developments\, waterproofing in shotcrete\, as well as legal issues associated with shotcrete. This is a great opportunity to earn valuable professional development hours as well as acquire new skills from leading regional experts representing clients\, suppliers\, and consultants in a relaxed environment. \nWe welcome any attendee of the ATC 2023 conference who would like to gain deeper insight into the somewhat mysterious product called shotcrete or anyone interested in shotcrete\, whether it is used in tunnelling or as means to place concrete more efficiently. \nWhy you should join \nThis seminar and follow up networking event is a great opportunity for all levels of the industry to interact\, whether they are: \n\nStudents looking to understand shotcrete\nSite engineers wanting to better understand shotcrete\nConsultants wanting to keep up with best practice\nIndustry leaders also needing to understand current industry challenges.\n\n  \nSeminar program \n \n

SUMMARY:ATS Young Members Site Visit to Brisbane Metro Adelaide Street Tunnel
DESCRIPTION:The ATS young members invites students and young engineers on a site visit to the Brisbane Metro Adelaide Street Tunnel\, Wednesday November 29th. The Adelaide Street tunnel is a critical piece of the Brisbane Metro project that provides additional capacity to Brisbane’s public transport system but requires the construction of a new road only 3.5m below the existing roadway. \nThe Adelaide Street Tunnel has many interesting aspects such as complex geology\, buried services\, traffic loading\, adjacent heritage structures\, and a demanding construction program with very little support site area. On the site visit you will get to see how these challenging constraints have been met\, including the design and construction of a relatively large span soft ground tunnel\, which involves over 20km of canopy tubes and 19kms of fiberglass face nails installed in a complex construction sequence to minimise surface movements and provide sufficient space for the final bidirectional tunnel. \nThe site visit will include a tour of the Brisbane Metro Information Centre\, overview of the project and a guided tour of the tunnel. \nPlease note that this is a registration to enter the draw for the site visit due to the limited number of attendees permitted\, it does not guarantee a place on the site visit itself. Once registered for the draw you will receive a calendar invitation for the site visit\, this is a Teams default and should be treated as pending until the draw has taken place. A separate confirmation email will be sent to successful applicants after the draw has taken place. \nThis event is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council and Acciona. \nMinimum requirements for site visit: \n\nAttendees must be 35 years old and under\nPants\, long sleeve shirts and safety boots\nHard hats and safety glasses if you have them\, otherwise these will be provided.\nClean shaven. Dust masks must be worn underground and everyone will need to be clean shaven to enter the tunnel (non-negotiable).
