SUMMARY:ITA Lecture - EPB tunnelling: environmental aspects and re-use opportunities of the conditioned muck
DESCRIPTION:The rapid development of mechanised tunnelling in the last decades has increased the tunnelling community’s focus on the environmental aspects of tunnel construction. The excavation carried out by using EPB (Earth Pressure Balance) machines often requires the use of foaming agents\, specific products that are added to the medium intended to be excavated\, in order to make the excavation process possible. The produced muck can be considered more than a simple “landfill material” and its re-use is strongly suggested in view of sustainable excavation and circular economy principles. However\, the correct management process should be followed. This process should take into account the presence of the used additives in the mucking itself. \nThis instalment of the Lunchtime lecture series will focus on ‘EPB tunnelling: environmental aspects and re-use opportunities of the conditioned muck’ in collaboration with ITA-AITES WG15. \nThis episode will feature three lectures: \n\nThe conditioning phase in EPB tunnelling and the issue of muck disposal – Prof. Carmine Todaro\nEnvironmental aspects of the conditioning phase\, chemical profile of foaming agents and the biodegradation process: the Italian approach before muck re-use – Dr. Anna Barra Caracciolo\nThe muck as a raw ingredient for industrial production\, its physical transformations and treatment\, including examples from construction sites – Prof. Robert Galler\n\nFollowing the three presentations there will be time for Q&A with the presenters\, with discussion and Q&A moderated by Dr. Nikolai Bobylev \nThe Lunchtime lecture series remains free and open to all. For all those that cannot join ‘live’ online\, please register and you will receive a link to stream the episode after the event – this link will be valid for 24 hours only. After these 24 hours\, anyone wanting to watch the episode can do so by registering for the episode on the ITA website\, but there will be a small fee to watch.

SUMMARY:Unlocking underground opportunities – the world of tunnelling
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: On the registration link it says there is a $30 charge for technical members. This isn’t correct and when you actually register it will not charge you. We are working to fix this. Apologies for any confusion.  \nOverview \nThe ATS welcomes all members\, non-members\, and students to join us for an insightful panel discussion featuring four young tunnelling professionals. This event will highlight their personal experiences and the lessons they’ve learned while navigating careers in Australia’s dynamic tunnelling industry. You’ll gain practical advice on career pathways\, emerging industry trends\, and the unique challenges faced by those in various roles across the sector\, including consultants\, contractors\, and suppliers. Whether you’re looking for inspiration or guidance\, this is a fantastic opportunity to explore the potential of a career in tunnelling. The event will be held in person. Be sure to register in advance! Thank you to our event sponsors AECOM\, Aurecon\, and Geomotion. \nLearning outcomes \n\nGain insights into career development from young tunnelling professionals.\nUnderstand key challenges in the tunnelling industry and potential solutions.\nLearn about essential skills and qualities needed to succeed as a junior engineer in the tunnelling sector.\n\nTimings \n\n5.30 pm AEST: Arrival and refreshments\n6.00 pm AEST: Presentation begins\n7.00 pm AEST: Presentation ends and networking starts\n7.30 pm AEST: Event concludes
