SUMMARY:Design Automation in Structural Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Event overview \nDesign automation is changing the way structural engineers work\, allowing us to solve problems faster\, improve design clarity\, and unlock new levels of efficiency. But where do you start? And how do you make sure you’re using these tools in a safe and transparent way? \nIn this webinar\, Danish structural engineer Timo Harboe Zollner will walk us through real-world examples of how automation\, Python\, and AI tools can be applied in structural design. Timo’s work bridges engineering and programming\, with a strong emphasis on practicality\, making automation accessible to everyday engineers. \nWhether you’re a practicing engineer or team leader\, this session is a chance to see what’s possible\, explore real examples of engineering automation\, and identify opportunities to implement it in your own projects. \nWho should attend? \nThis webinar is suited to:\n• Tunnel/Structural engineers interested in learning how to use Python and automation tools.\n• Design managers curious about digital workflows and emerging capabilities.\n• Anyone in the built environment seeking smarter\, more efficient ways of working. \nEvent Details \n📅 Date: Wednesday 20 August 2025\n🕠 Time: 5:30–6:30pm AEST (Melbourne) | 9:30–10:30am CEST (Copenhagen)\n📍 Location: Online\n🎟️ Cost: Free (registration required) \nLearning outcomes \nIn this presentation\, you will:\n• See how small amounts of code can solve repetitive engineering problems.\n• Understand how AI tools can support design workflows safely and transparently.\n• Learn how to identify automation opportunities in your daily work.\n• Gain clear direction on what to learn next if you’re new to automation. \nAbout the speaker \n\nTimo Harboe Zollner\nFounder\, Timo Harboe ApS\nCreator\, Python for Structural Engineers \nTimo is a structural engineer based in Denmark with a background at firms such as Ramboll (High Rise) and Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG). He’s known for combining engineering with programming to develop fast\, transparent\, and replicable design workflows. Today\, he runs a consultancy focused on engineering automation and teaches engineers around the world how to use Python in their work.

SUMMARY:Incident sensing and fire safety in Heysen Tunnels
DESCRIPTION:Join Matt and Conrad as they address questions from the ATS Systems\, Operations\, and Maintenance Group\, focusing on the surety of Fixed Fire-Fighting System (FFFS) activation in the Heysen Tunnels.\nGiven that the Heysen Tunnels Safety Upgrade and Refurbishment Project was brownfield exercise with unique challenges\, South Australia’s DIT recognised that a bespoke engineering approach was required rather than recycling a prior tunnel design. \nThis presentation will offer insights into their philosophical approach for brownfield tunnel refurbishment\, specifically detailing the innovative design of the flame-sensing camera supervision and explaining the absence of (traditional) linear heat detectors in the Heysen Tunnels. \nWhile the misting system installation was a significant undertaking in the Heysen Tunnels\, that topic was comprehensively covered in the previous ATS seminar in Adelaide back in February 2025 and will not be treated in detail here.  This presentation focuses on topics distinct from the paper planned for the Australasian Tunnelling Conference 2025 (ATC2025) in Perth this November. \nThe Presenters\nMatthew Taylor \n \nAs a Chartered Electrical Engineer\, Matthew has over 35 years of experience within the electrical\, mechanical\, control and communications systems engineering fields within underground transport infrastructure project delivery environment within the UK\, Australia and New Zealand. \nA recognised innovator in the design\, installation\, testing\, commissioning and the ongoing operation and maintenance of the technology that drives modern transportation systems\, Matthew has played pivotal roles in the delivery of several of Australia’s largest projects since his migration from the UK in July 1997. \nConrad Stacey \n \nDr Conrad Stacey is a Director of leading underground ventilation and fire safety consultants Stacey Agnew.  Conrad’s credits include seminal reports on livestock shipping heat stress risk\, and co-authorship of a paper on the gravitational energy drivers for the geodynamo.  He has worked on hypersonic upper atmospheric flight and river and flood plain hydraulics.  A common thread through Conrad’s work in varied areas is a core focus on the fundamental physics and the engineering thought involved\, all within the big picture of the community interest.  He will talk about the fire engineering basis for decisions during tunnel refurbishments. \nChair Diane Mather \nDiane Mather is Senior Design Manager at Queensland Hydro\, with over 25 years of experience on major projects\, including Clem7 (NSBT)\, Airport Link\, City Rail Link\, WestConnex M5 East\, West Gate\, Sydney Metro\, Melbourne Metro\, Brisbane Cross River Rail\, Inland Rail\, and now Borumba Pumped Hydro. \nIn 2021\, Diane was honoured as the inaugural winner of the Women in Tunnelling Outstanding Achievement Award by the Australian Tunnelling Society.  Diane is a dedicated role model\, mentor\, and advocate for attracting and retaining women in engineering. \nThe eVENT Space\nThe seminar will be onsite at the eVENT Space in Stacey Agnew’s offices\, and online.  Catering for those networking onsite after the eVENT will be by Yim Thai restaurant Middle Park\, which is why registration includes dietary requirements.
