SUMMARY:EA Event (Webinar): Future Proofing and Unlocking Auckland’s Rail Network - City Rail Link Project Update
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will provide an overview of the City Rail Link Project\, Auckland\, New Zealand.  Presenters will discuss the overall project outline and key challenges\, as well as a project update on the design and construction of the 3.45 km twin tunnel underground rail scheme. \nThe City Rail Link (CRL) Project is a 3.45km twin-tunnel underground rail link allows the Auckland rail network to at least double rail capacity. The detailed design and construction contract C3 commenced in 2019. The C3 Contract comprises two new underground stations\, a redeveloped surface station\, two bored running tunnels and two mined junction caverns. Nearly 1.5 years into the Alliance Contract\, a project update on the detailed design and construction of the underground works is presented. \nSpeakers \nWataru Okada: Tunnel Discipline Lead\, Link Alliance City Rail Link (New Zealand) \nWataru is currently the Tunnel Discipline Lead on the City Rail Link C3 Contract and has 23 years’ experience in design and construction of large civil construction and underground works in New Zealand\, Australia\, Japan and Singapore. Earlier in his career\, Wataru worked as a site engineer on the construction of Tokyo Metro Oedo Line Kagurazaka station and tunnels\, and Singapore MRT North East Line trackworks and design coordination. Since 2000\, Wataru has been working on a wide range of infrastructure projects in NZ and abroad in the consulting environment. His recent project involvement includes the Waterview Connection (NZ)\, City Rail Link C2\, C3 and C6 Contracts\, Forrestfield to Airport Link (WA)\, Toowoomba Range Clearance Upgrade (QLD)\, WHBLT (NSW) amongst other major underground projects in Australia. \nFlorent Detraux: Tunnel Construction Manager\, Link Alliance City Rail Link (New Zealand) \nFlorent Detraux is currently the Tunnel Director on the City Rail Link Project. He has extensive experience in EPB-TBM\, slurry TBM\, variable density TBM and hard rock TBM as well as traditional excavation drill and blast\, design and build works. He has worked on numerous challenging projects including\, the Lötschberg basis tunnel in Switzerland\, the Liefkenshoek Tunnel in Antwerp and the Saverne Tunnel which formed part of the high-speed rail line connecting Paris to Strasbourg and has been involved in all large bridges and viaducts of the South Europe Atlantic High speed line between Tours and Bordeaux. Florent has recently worked as the Tunnel Director on Phase 3 of Cairo Metro Line 3\, where two TBMs will be used to accelerate progress on this 16 km complex project\, include one stretch running beneath the River Nile. \nNote:  This event is co-hosted by the Australian Tunnelling Society in conjunction with the NZ Tunnelling Society\, the Australian Geomechanics Society and the NZ Geotechnical Society\, \nClick on the link below to register (fees may be applicable as this is not a RTSA event):

SUMMARY:EA Event (Webinar) - Costa Rica's San Jose Metro Build and Tunnelling Project
DESCRIPTION:Mobility is an important issue for all cities\, big or small\, since traffic and congestion are common urban problems everywhere. San José\, the capital city of Costa Rica\, is not an exception. \nDifferent efforts have been made so far to address the growing mobility problem of the city\, where people can spend more than 90 minutes to go through its 8.5 km length during rush hours. Most of these efforts are not enough and the city continues to be a hard-to-travel place. Thus\, alternative solutions as light train\, Tram\, monorail\, RTB or a Metro have been proposed to improve mobility in the future. \nThis presentation focuses on one of these proposed projects: an underground metro system. Considered as one of the most financial resources demanding solutions it is\, at the same time\, the most effective. The proposed solution comprises four lanes\, developed in progressive stages for a total cost of US$4.7 billion for 48.4 km total length and approximately 17 years of continuous construction. The project is only at the preliminary stage and it is not an approved project\, but a proposal from a group of the civil society to improve the quality of life of Costa Rican inhabitants. Private funding is seen as the only realistic means to develop such a project under a concession scheme. \nSpeaker: Marco Tapio\, Civil Engineer\, University of Costa Rica \nMarco Tapia is a Civil Engineer from the University of Costa Rica\, where he also obtained\, with honours\, a Master of Science Degree in Geotechnics. In addition\, he obtained a Master’s degree in Tunnels and Tunnel Boring Machines at the Polytechnic of Turin\, Italy. \nMarco is a professor of the Master’s in Civil Engineering at the University of Costa Rica where he teaches the Underground Engineering course\, as well as at the Costa Rican Institute of Technology where he teaches the Applied Geology course for the Construction Engineering degree. His experience is extensive in the design and constru \n(Note: This is an EA webinar event\, costs may be applicable) \nClick on the link below to register
