equipment.
AT
A GLANCE: A HIGH SKILLED AND SCIENTIFIC EVENT
Between
major announcements, conferences and technical sessions, the program
of the upcoming WTC promises to be rich.
Either
through conventional tunnelling for urban tunnels, environment
sustainability in underground construction or safety topics, the
event will approach numerous major issues showcased by many examples
from all over the world: City
Rail Link - New Zealand; the role of Cairo metro in saving the social
costs of air pollution; Stockholm bypass; the Naples Line 6
underground metro system works: from the feasibility study to the
construction; twin tunnels excavated in mixed face conditions-
Brazil; Grand Paris Express Line 15 South; Brenner Base Tunnel;
Anacostia River Tunnel Project – Washington - USA; the second
Gotthard tunnel tube; the Genoa Bypass project; Tuen Mun - Check Lap
Kok link in Hong Kong; CERN (HL-LHC) - New underground & surface
structures - Switzerland.
The
WTC is also the occasion to meet and listen a prestigious panel of
lecturers: from May 6th
to 8th,
a series of lectures, seminars and workshops will focus on the world
of design and construction, in relation to works involving tunnels.
On the panels, the finest authorities in the world on underground
construction: Martin
Herrenknecht,
CEO of Herrenknecht AG, Georgios
Anagnostou
of ETH University in Zurich; Raffaele
Zurlo,
Konrad
Bergmeister
and Mario
Virano
administrators of the special purpose entities responsible for the
construction of the great Alpine railway tunnels in Italy; Håkan
Stille
from Sweden; Jamal
Rostami
from Colorado School of Mines, who will talk about excavating
equipment designed to build tunnels on the moon; Markus
Thewes
from Germany; Pietro
Lunardi
from Italy, Mike
Mooney
from USA.
NOVELTY OF THE
WTC2019: SPECIAL SESSIONS ON ARCHAEOLOGY, ARCHITECTURE AND ART TOPICS
The
Naples program is distinctive in the way it highlights the many
connections between the world of tunnelling and the disciplines that
until now have been considered unrelated to the field. They include
what have been called the Triple-A sessions – Archaeology,
Architecture and Art, to be held at the Mostra D'Oltremare and at
Palazzo Serra di Cassano, mostly in collaboration with the ITACUS
Committee,
co-chaired by Han Admiraal and Antonia Cornaro, and in the presence
of other renowned designers and planners of the underground,
including Elisabeth
Reynolds,
Elsa
Wifstrand
and Dominique
Perrault,
who will participate in the session dedicated to archaeology,
architecture and art.
They
will highlight many examples, notably the cases of Thessolaniki
Metro
and the issue of Intersecting microtunnels to support archeological
findings at Sintrivani Station, the integration of archaeology in
architectural design of Milan
metro
connection M2-M4 in st. Ambrogio station and the viability of
underground transport construction in Guatemala
City.
The
Open Session will be devoted to TUNNELS
A RESILIENT LINK BETWEEN PAST AND FUTURE with
the participation of representative of Grand Paris Express, Italian
State railway, PwC, John Holland, Pacific Consultants, ÖBB…
