North East Link Program tunnel design overview
North East Link Program tunnel design overview
Overview This presentation provides an overview of the tunnel design for the iconic North East Link Program. This is the largest tunnel project Melbourne has ever seen. North East Link (NEL) is the largest investment in a road project in Victoria’s history. It is the missing link in Melbourne’s orbital freeway between an upgraded Eastern […]

The use of fibre optics to improve tunnel support design
The use of fibre optics to improve tunnel support design
Optimisation of tunnel ground support through observational approaches necessitates a comprehensive monitoring programme to verify design assumptions regarding the performance of ground support systems. However the interaction of ground support and the surrounding rock mass is difficult to measure accurately, with current methods focusing on individual locations or devices to represent a ground behaviour. This […]

ATS VIC – Discrete fracture network approach for underground support design optimisation
ATS VIC – Discrete fracture network approach for underground support design optimisation
Ground support design for underground rock engineering projects often adopts empirical methods, which were mostly developed in 1960s and 1970s. While these methods have provided a useful tool to aid design, they have typically been based on a limited database of project experience and so their results need to be interpreted in the context of […]
