SUMMARY:Site visit – Transurban road tunnel control room – Sydney
DESCRIPTION:Join the ATS and Transurban in an immersive exploration into the nerve centre of tunnel systems with a site visit to a road tunnel control room in Sydney. \nOverview \nTransurban control rooms are the pulsating brain behind the seamless operation of tunnels. These control rooms stand as the guardians of safety\, efficiency\, and operations in the bustling underground arteries of transportation networks. This visit to the Road Tunnel Control Room offers a unique opportunity for new engineers and experts alike to delve deep into the intricate workings of these vital facilities. Serving as the centre of monitoring\, management\, and response\, control rooms play a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth flow of traffic and maintaining the utmost safety standards within tunnels. \nLearning outcomes \n\nIntroduction to Control Room Operations: experienced operators will provide insights into the primary functions and responsibilities of control room teams.\nEquipment Review: Witness firsthand the technology and equipment that empower control room operators to uphold efficiency and safety standards.\nInsights from Industry Experts: Benefit from the expertise of professionals as they share insights from years of experience in tunnel management and control room operations.\n\nLocation \nSt Peters Interchange Office (SPI)\nWestconnex MCC Control Room \nNote: Parking is available on road and there is usually plenty. Come to gate and press intercom for entry. \n \nTiming \nArrive for 11am \nNote: PPE will not be required for this site visit.

SUMMARY:EA Webinar - Construction engineering challenges in complex Fire and Life Safety system upgrades
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThis session will address the challenges of estimating\, designing\, and constructing a complex fire life safety upgrade project in the Melbourne Underground Rail Loop’s brownfield urban rail network environment. \nWe will discuss the knowns and unknowns in the fire engineering design phase\, the access-constrained construction phase\, and the unpredictable testing and commissioning phase. \nKey competencies from the Construction Engineering Learning and Development guide to be discussed include developing project methods\, controlling project quality\, ensuring a safe working environment\, and managing contract obligations. \nThis webinar forms part of the Construction series of CPD. \nWho should attend?\nThis session is relevant to construction engineers\, from site engineers to project managers\, especially those working in brownfield environments or managing complex railway projects. \nLearning outcomes\n\nKey fire engineering and design principles for upgrading existing train stations\nAppropriate risk management in a brownfield environment\nImportance of planning and scope – access to live railways\nLessons learned from Testing and Commissioning – how to predict the unpredictable\n\nAbout the speakers\n\nJan Nadarajah\nProject Manager\, ACCIONA Australia\n.\nJan Nadarajah is a seasoned Engineering / Project Manager with over 15 years of experience designing and delivering complex and varied infrastructure projects in the transport\, water and international development sectors. She is a keen problem solver and particularly loves challenging engineering projects. Jan also has an interest in social science and has a graduate degree in psychology. She believes in progressing towards equality both in and out of the workplace.\n\n\n\nDaniel West\nSenior Mechanical Engineer\, WSP\n.\nDaniel West is currently serving as the engineering manager for the MURL Fire & Life Safety Upgrade project (AWP5)\, having previously worked as the design area manager for the same project since May 2021.\n\n\nDaniel has over 12 years of experience in building services / infrastructure consulting in Australia and New Zealand. This has included a mix of rail\, industrial and commercial projects. Throughout Daniel’s time at WSP\, he has held project management roles\, including at SPA as a package lead for successfully delivered works packages (IWP\, AWP2 and AWP3) over the last five years. \nPreviously he provided leadership of the mechanical team at SPA for other SPA rail projects. Prior to commencing on SPA\, Daniel lead multiple building projects as the WSP project lead including childcare centres\, community hub\, hospital upgrades and residential / aged care projects.” \n\n \nEsteban Santacruz CPEng\nFire Safety Engineer\, Transport Systems\, WSP\n.\nEsteban is a Chartered Professional Engineer with expertise in engineering consultancy working in the field of fire safety in Australia and Europe in underground infrastructure and in designing fire safety strategies\, including railways and road tunnels infrastructure.\n\nEsteban specialises in the design of fire safety systems using local and international fire safety engineering principles in underground structures.
