ATS Tunnel Design Guideline Presentation Series – Part 1: Introduction and General Approach, Design Methods in Tunnelling (Chapters 1 & 2)

The ATS Tunnel Design Guideline Presentation Series will bring together the authors of the guideline to discuss in detail the chapter contents. The ATS Tunnel Design Guideline was released in September 2020 and this webinar series has been established to provide readers with further context to the material included.

The first in a series of five presentations from authors of the ATS Tunnel Design Guideline will focus on chapters one and two which covers the introduction, general approach and design methods in tunnelling.

ATS National President, Dr Harry Asche will provide an introduction covering the genesis of the design guide including a background to the working group and their goals. Simon Brinkmann and Brodie Aitchison will then cover chapter two of the guideline on design methods in tunnelling.

This event is suitable for students, graduates and anyone working or interested in the design of tunnels.

The presentation will be recorded and uploaded to the ATS website to provide additional context and content for the ATS Tunnel Design Guideline.

Sessions will run for approximately 40 minutes with 20 minutes of Q&A. You will have direct access to the authors of the relevant chapters and the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the presentation.

This guide has been produced by a team of skilled and enthusiastic practitioners from the Young Members  of the Australian Tunnelling Society. We hope that this guide will help with your journey in the exciting world of tunnel design.

The guideline is available for download via the members section of the ATS website under ‘technical papers.’ This document has been developed and funded by the ATS and its members.
