SUMMARY:NZ Chapter Event: North Auckland Line (NAL) – Bridge update
DESCRIPTION:Join the Railway Technical Society of Australasia New Zealand Chapter online for part 2 of the North Auckland Line (NAL) upgrade webinar – Bridge Update by Matt Ireland and Aiden Summers (Holmes Consulting) at 12:30-1:30pm NZDT on 21st October 2021. \nRegister here. \nForming part of the Northland Rail Upgrade Project\, Five Bridges were replaced across the North Auckland Rail Line. With 9 months programmed from awarding tender for design to practical competition of construction\, programme posed a significant hurdle. Along with Covid-19 restrictions and the resulting supply chain issues\, the project called for a ‘one team’ approach. Where possible\, standardisation was implemented across the project and fast construction techniques such as segmental bridge construction were adopted to reduce onsite construction time. The presentation looks to cover some key challenges that the design team faced throughout the project journey. \nSpeakers\nMatt Ireland\, Senior Project Engineer\, Holmes Consulting \nMatt is based in Holmes Consulting’s Christchurch office and has over 14 years of structural engineering experience in the design of bridges and civil structures. He specialises in the delivery of major infrastructure projects across the country and has been involved with a number of significant road\, rail and pedestrian bridge structures. \nAiden Summers\, Civil Structures Engineering\, Holmes Consulting \nAidan is based in Holmes Consulting’s Auckland office and has been working in the civil structures team for 4 years since graduating from university. In this time he has worked across a number of horizontal infrastructure projects\, carving an interest in soil-structure interaction and construction management. \nClick here register on the Engineering New Zealand website.

SUMMARY:NZ Chapter Event: New Zealand Tunnelling Society - Advancements in diesel particulate matter
DESCRIPTION:The New Zealand Tunnelling Society invite RTSA members to join them in their upcoming Webinar: Advancements in diesel particulate matter monitoring\, presented by Pinssar\, at 5:00-6:00pm NZDT on 21st October 2021. \nRegister here. \nBritish Occupational Health and Safety (BOHS) recently published figures in which they highlighted that “of 100 work related deaths 99 can be attributed to occupational illnesses”. The Australian Cancer council have published that “diesel engine exhaust emissions exposure is the second most common cancer-causing agent (carcinogen) affecting workers in this country – only behind ultraviolet radiation exposure”. Accordingly\, in the absence of sunlight\, this therefore makes it the most common cancer-causing agent in the underground working environment. \nRegulators and Industries throughout the world have increased their focus on air quality in the workplace. The dangers of dust/crystalline silica have been well reported and have led to new exposure limits. Diesel particulate matter (DPM) has received much less press\, however exposure limits for DPM will be halved by 2023 in the EU and UK. \nPinssar was created in 2014 with the sole purpose of helping underground operations to understand their DPM load and how they can minimize the exposure risk to their employees. This presentation is open to all members and non-members. We encourage you to share this opportunity within your networks. \nTopics to be covered in this presentation are: \n\nDifferences between dust and DPM\nWhy is DPM such an issue\nChanges in the BS6164 and consequences\nCase studies in Australia mining and France tunnelling project\nAir Quality in Underground Excavations\n\nThe presentation will be a 30 minute online event followed with some time for questions and discussion \nClick here register on the Engineering New Zealand website.
