The ATS Short Course 2024 is a multi-day event, designed to provide an introduction to the world of tunnels. Event content will closely align with the latest edition of the ATS Tunnel Design Guideline and is a must for tunnelling professionals.

Run every two years since 2007, the event provides an established platform that delivers a practical introduction to tunnelling to both younger practitioners and those interested in moving into the Australian tunnelling industry. It gives these up-and-coming tunnellers an opportunity to:

• Learn new skills and knowledge,
• Develop and refresh existing skills and knowledge,
• Gain a competitive edge,
• Invest in their future, and
• Learn from and network with industry leaders.

The course is delivered by experienced professionals from Australian tunnelling who have specialist knowledge in their discipline field. These course presenters are eager to share their knowledge and encourage delegates to develop their understanding and confidence so they can apply the ATS Design Guide across all stages of a tunnelling project. The syllabus is designed to cover relevant topics and ‘must learn’ topics useful to every young and seasoned professional, including design principles, construction fundamentals, sustainability, fire life safety and project case studies.

In addition to attending the cutting-edge two-day short course, delegates will soon be invited to book for the:

• Quarry Day at Mount Coot-Tha (29th November)*
• St Barbara’s Day dinner (28th November)*

These complementary events provide for both fantastic onsite demonstrations and a great networking event to meet the speakers and industry colleagues respectively.

* Note that both the Quarry Day and St Barbara’s Day dinner will require separate bookings, but priority will be given to Short Course delegates.
