Tunnellers – where do they come from?
a trip down memory lane to look at past training practices and what we as an industry must do to meet the coming demand to ensure safety, quality and
productivity
Wednesday, 29th October, 2014Craig Farr and Harry Lyle, Tunnelling Solutions
The tunnelling industry as a whole is collectively taking a deep breath in preparation for the 30 plus billion dollars of tunnel infrastructure projects that will need to be delivered prior to 2020.
The level of tunnelling work in the pipeline in Australia is unprecedented and therefore creates some unique resourcing challenges for the industry, especially in the provision of experienced tunnelling engineers, supervisors and workers.
Harry Lyle will reflect on his 30year journey in the industry and the practices used in the past to equip workers with the specialist skills and knowledge required to tunnel effectively and safely.
Craig Farr will look at what we, as an industry, currently do and why this will not be sustainable in the future and suggests ways that, we as an industry, can adopt to meet the coming demand for specialist tunnelling resources and in so doing ensure safety, quality and productivity expectations are maintained.
HARRY LYLE: Harry’s extensive production management experience in the tunnelling industry has taken him all over the world. He has experience in all types of tunnel excavation, ground support and lining and has delivered some of the largest and most complex tunnel projects in the world. This experience makes him uniquely qualified to recruit, develop and manage large tunnel construction workforces. He has worked as General Superintendent on Melbourne City Link, EastLink, Lane Cove tunnel and Brisbane Airportlink. Harry has experience in soft-ground TBM and roadheader tunnelling, and has delivered in alliance relationships. Harry has demonstrated strong leadership and a passion for excellence in safety and quality outcomes via specialist training and development.
CRAIG FARR: With over two decades’ tunnelling experience, Craig has used all construction methodologies – TBM, roadheader and drill-and-blast – in all types of rocks and soils, using all types of support systems and all types of delivery mechanisms from Alliancing to hard dollar D&C. From site supervision through project development to construction management, Craig’s experience places him in the unique position of not only being able to assist in methodology and pricing development for tunnelling projects but also to assist in the management of tunnel construction itself.

Ed Taylor 0412 333 212 [email protected]

Requirements for committee membership are an interest in tunnelling and financial (or student) membership of the Australasian Tunnelling Society. Your commitment will be to attend about six committee meetings a year. Recently, these have been held at 8 am of a Monday in Abbotsford as this has been found more workable for those attending. However, these arrangements can be changed to suit the committee.
The rules for election are: ATS is required to re-elect the local Committee every two years. On that basis, we are now calling
for nominations for two vacancies in the general positions to form a new local committee in Victoria. (Eleven members are continuing their current term).
If you would like to nominate yourself (or someone else with their agreement and details as follow), please provide your name as well as a brief statement about what you do and why you would be a good Committee member. Nominees must be financial members of the ATS.
Nominations must be received by the returning officer ([email protected]) no later than Tuesday 28th October 2014. Late applications will not be eligible.
If two or fewer general nominations are received; a Committee will be formed without a ballot. However, if more than two nominations are received, we shall proceed to a ballot of the members present on the evening to elect the Committee.
