With an overarching focus on Trends and Transitions in Tunnelling, the Programme Organising Committee has been working hard developing an integrated programme that will cover many topics in line with the Conference themes.
We are pleased to announce that we have confirmed the following speakers:
- Professor Susan Krumdieck from Heriot-Watt University; a Professor of mechanical engineering and co-founder of the Transition Engineering movement
- International Tunnelling Association (ITA) President Arnold Dix; and
- Professor Mike Mooney from the Colorado School of Mines.
We have also confirmed panel sessions involving City Rail Link, Melbourne Metro and Donald Lamont along with case histories and lessons learned from all of the major tunnelling projects in the region (including the more from the Melbourne Metro, Sydney Metro, the Cross River Rail, West Gate Tunnel, Kidston Pumped Storage, City Rail Link and Central Interceptor). Alongside ITA President Arnold Dix, we look forward to hearing from one or more past ITA Presidents.
The Conference has a truly international flavour with papers from all over the globe including Lyon-Turin high-speed rail link, Eglinton Crosstown West Extension, Seoul Subway Line 9, Lima Metro Line 2, Stockholm Blue Metro Line, and the USBRL in India. It’s a line up that you don’t want to miss!

We look forward to seeing you in Auckland.
