One of our Partners, Christian Karner along with Tunnel Engineer, Franz Wilhelmstötter will present their work on the Confederation Line, part of Ottawa’s light rail transit. Their presentation will cover some of the design decisions made early on in the project including excavation method, unique construction sequencing and equipment selection. They will look at design and construction challenges of large caverns in very close proximity to existing buildings and varying ground conditions. Finally, an overview of achieved construction milestones and current construction progress will be discussed. Their presentation takes place on Monday 25th April at 16.10 in Room 121/122.

On Tuesday 26th April at 14.40, Petr Salak, Senior Tunnel Engineer and Project Manager at Dr. Sauer & Partners in London will also be presenting: “A comparison between monitoring solutions within SCL tunnels at Crossrail Farringdon Station” together with Adrian StJohn from Kier Group.
