Day 3 Friday 9th October 2015 Mount Coot-tha Quarry ATS DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION WORKSHOP Friday 9th October 2015 Site visit Mount Coot-tha Quarry The tour will commence with coffee provided. Technical experts from industry, designers, constructors and suppliers will provide practical demonstrations in a live project environment at the Mount Coot-tha Quarry. The workshop will provide delegates an opportunity to view the Mount Coot-tha Quarry and Legacy Way conveyor tunnel and participate in the practical workshop of a number of tunnelling applications that will be discussed during the short course program. As part of the Brisbane Legacy Way Tunnel project, an underground conveyor was used to transport spoil from tunnel excavation underneath the Brisbane Botanic Gardens and through to the Mount Coot-tha Quarry. The conveyor tunnel was excavated using drill and blast construction methods. The construction of the spoil conveyer enabled spoil removal 24 hours a day, seven days a week in line with tunnel boring machine (TBM) operations. This spoil conveyor eliminated the need for 96,000 truck movements on surrounding roads. 0800 Buses A and B arrive at Mt Coot-tha 0800-0900 0900-1000 Bus A travels to 30mRL bench to view site displays and Geotechnical overview of portal Bus B travels to quarry benches and TBM spoil Bus B travels to 30mRL bench to view site displays and Geotechnical overview of portal Bus A travels to view quarry benches and TBM spoil 1000-1015 Buses relocate to Botanical Gardens 1015-1045 Morning tea 1045-1100 Introduction and Discussion on Tunnelling-Quarrying Interface 1100-1125 Geotechnical Features and Challenges of the Brisbane Neranleigh Fernvale Group 1125-1150 The Potential for Future Tunnel Excavation Projects in Australia Involving Spoil Placement in Quarries 1150-1215 Development of the Automated Corbel Drilling System by Hilti and Herrenknecht 1215 Close and exit on buses to City and Airport (buses leave 1230) Buses will depart from the Brisbane CBD to the Quarry.
